There’s nothing worse than walking into a dinner party filled with your girl’s most trusted confidantes only to realize, by the look on their faces, that they’re aware of the fight you and she had last night or, worse, from their sympathetic smiles, that they know you just got canned from your job. “It’s one thing to see the knowing, giggly grins after my girlfriend’s spilled about our marathon weekend of sex,” says Robbie, 24. “But it’s quite another when they look at me like I’m a dog because I came home trashed at 3 a.m.”
Relationship RX: “Be very careful what you tell your pals,” warns Hein. “You may forgive and forget, but your friends might hold a grudge because they’re protective of you—and that can make him feel ganged up on by the girls.” Even if what you share isn’t damaging, having your crew know your guy’s entire personal history will make socializing with them awkward. So do everyone a favor and edit out the really private details. Some things are better kept between the two of you.
Girlfriend Gaffe 5: Making Goo Goo Eyes in Public
There’s a time and place for everything—especially EDAs (Emphatic Displays of Affection). “My girlfriend used to attach herself to my hip whenever we went out,” remembers Bong, 29. “It was cool at first, but after a while, I felt like the kisses and cuddling alienated everyone around us.”
Relationship RX: It’s nice to show your guy you care, but remember: what makes him feel good in the privacy of your bedroom doesn’t always play out well in public. “Men are usually taught not to express their emotions in physical ways,” explains Hein. Since every dude has his own cutesy comfort level, test out his boundaries. Hold his hand or give him a peck and monitor his response. Soon you’ll see where to draw the “Hey, look at how in love we are” line.
Girlfriend Gaffe 6: Using the Line In the Future…
“Whenever I hear my girlfriend say the three little worlds ‘In the future,’ my chest tightens up,” says Joey, 26. “It means she’s pissed off about something I’ve done, but instead of just telling me, she makes a demand like ‘In the future, could you try not to be so anti-social with my family?’ I just want to reply, ‘In the future, we may not be going out anymore.’”
Relationship RX: Why do these three little words hit such a sore spot? “Unless you’re speaking to a child, ordering someone not to do something is a bad idea,” says Weil. It also causes a guy to tune out anything else you say after that grating phrase. Instead, explain in positive terms what he can do to make you happy, like “I’d love it if you could interact with my dad more.”
Girlfriend Gaffe 7: Keeping a Little Too in Touch
“Sheryl calls me five times a day to tell me the littlest things,” laments Gino, 28. “I love hearing from her, but hashing out our evening plans within earshot of my colleagues isn’t professional conduct.”
Relationship RX: Checking in with your guy like clockwork is bound to make him cringe. But if you can’t resist ringing him, ask what’s a good time to phone. When you get him on the line, start with “Are you busy right now?” Then keep it brief. “Men fear being suffocated with constant contact,” says Weil. Besides, if you keep your calls to a minimum, he’ll be dying to hear from you at day’s end.
