 “Do you think she’s pretty?”. She already caught you staring at the hottie that just passed you by, no matter how covert your glance was. If you lie and say no, she will catch you and an argument would ensue. 

1. When she says: “I’ve been thinking… “

Sounds innocent but its not! If she says that she has been thinking, then it’s almost always about something which is seriously unpleasant. It either means she wants a commitment or a break-up. The phrase can, however, take a few interesting forms like “Do you still love me?” or “Have you ever thought about the future?”

2. When she says: “Be a man”

Ouch! Nothing can be quite as painful as having your very manhood questioned. So you can either quietly swallow her insult or hit back by saying “How about you be a woman and quit nagging?

3. When she says: “My parents would like to meet you”?

This just means one thing. You are about to have every inch of your life scrutinised by her parents. Well, if you have been seeing her for so long that her parents have shown an interest to meet up with you, just hope for the best.

4. When she says: “I have a headache”

It’s a polite way of telling you that you won’t be getting any action tonight. But you can easily beat her to it. So if you are really looking for some between-the-sheets session and she looks disinterested or tired, just offer her a crocin. If she says, “But I don’t have a headache,” give her a grin and do your thing.

5. When she says: “What are you thinking about ?”

Women can often act really pesky and curious. They want to read your mind and know exactly what you are thinking about every second of the day. So if you were indeed thinking of the hot chick next door, or replaying the hot Jenna Jameson flick that you saw last night, just look intelligent and tell her something smart.

6. When she says: “Do you think she’s pretty?”

She already caught you staring at the hottie that just passed you by, no matter how covert your glance was. If you lie and say no, she will catch you and an argument would ensue. So just be artful and imaginative. Say something like “Not really, her ass is so huge”

7. When she says: “Do you notice anything different about me?”

Well, as long as she hasn’t undergone a boob job or coloured her hair red, chances are you will fail to notice any changes. And the longer you take to answer, the more frustrated she’ll become. This will make you more frenzied to dig out the difference. And when you finally bellow, “Yes, of course, you got a new haircut!” she will fling her tiny earrings on the ground, stomp out of the room and won’t speak to your for the next several days.

8. When she says: “Do you know what’s the date today?”

Holy hell, you have managed to forget a date that she considers to be important. Whether it was her birthday, or your anniversary or the date of your first date or the day you two first met, these are dates that remains permanently etched in a girl’s memory. Since there is absolutely no way out of this, it is better you memorise all these dates or at least mark them in your digital calendar.

9. When she says: “My friend is getting engaged/married”

She seems happy, sounds happy and everything’s seems blissfully normal when you suddenly catch a thinly veiled hint of disappointment in her voice. Its then you realise that she’s is trying to hint at her relationship with you which she feels is stagnating. She expects a commitment and wants it fast.

10. When she says: “I am pregnant”

Well, with all the contraceptives around, if you still got her pregnant then you should go ahead and do the right thing… shoot yourself in the head.

While no man likes to hear any of the aforementioned phrases, every man will, at some point, endure them. The best you can do is be prepared.
