  • 4 Lies you really don’t have to tell to impress him

    4 Lies you really don’t have to tell to impress him

    Be it in a business dealing, in social circles or in a relationship, no one appreciates dishonesty.

    Understandably, people lie to get financial advantage, escape punishment, or to feel cool.

    None of these reasons justifies the act of lying and no matter how tempted you are, you shouldn’t lie for any of the reasons listed above, and neither should you lie to get someone’s attention, or to get them to like you.

    Anyone who’s going to like you will do so because of who you are and what you stand for, so there’s no need to change or stop being yourself.

    There’s also absolutely no reason to lie about the things listed below.

    I have tons of male friends

    One of the most common things to hear Nigerian girls say these days is “I actually have more male friends than female friends.”

    If that is genuinely true, there is no problem.

    But if you are faking that and telling a guy just so he can think you are cooler than you really are, then you are highly mistaken.

    Women having more female friends has never been a bad idea and will never be a bad idea.

    No need to lie about the gender of your closest friends just to impress a guy.

    I don’t mind friendship with benefits

    So you like a guy so much but he says he is not ready for a relationship, but doesn’t mind a situation where you both stay friends, and enjoy casual sex.

    You are extremely bothered by sex without emotions and commitment, and you know deep down that you are incapable of it, but you lie and tell him it’s fine.

    The amount of heartache this will fetch you will be limitless.

    You are much better skipping the lie and letting him go. Not every loss is a loss.

    I’m not that sensitive, really

    You know a certain amount of guys who do not like overly sensitive women, and your crush says the same thing.

    “I actually do not appreciate women with too much emotion. it scares me,” he says.

    So you respond with something about being one of the most aloof women God ever created when you know that you are nothing but a big bag of mushiness.

    If you both somehow get together in a relationship, how long do you think it’s going to take before your oversensitiveness shines through and pisses him off?

    I really like football

    Do not tell this lie. You’ll be playing yourself if you do.

  • Things not to do if a woman refuses to enter a relationship with you

    Things not to do if a woman refuses to enter a relationship with you

    How many times have you heard guys that went from sweet to sour after a woman said no to their relationship proposal?

    Quite a number of times, most likely.

    But surely, that is a kind of behaviour that should not be expected of adults, right?

    Insults said to woman directly, or sent to her phone or her social media is not a cool thing to do after being rejected. But is that the only wrong way guys handle rejection? Surely not.

    Below are some of the wrong ways men react to rejection:

    1. Pettiness

    So you have a colleague that you’ve been getting along with just fine. But, you see, after politely refusing your date offer about thrice, she finally tells you plainly to stop trying, because she does not think she wants to date you or even enter into a relationship.

    It is wrong to stop being cordial and respectful to her because of this. Real, mature men handle rejection better.

    Though you might be pained and the relationship may understandably no longer be as smooth as before, but that does not mean you should start acting petty.

    Instead, accept it and move on.

    2. Dwelling on their imperfections

    Yeah, she might have an imperfection here and there, but you saw all that before you still went on to ask her out, right?

    Ask yourself; if she had said yes, would these things be an issue?

    The fact that she said no to you should not diminish all the good things you saw in her in the first instance. Don’t think of her badly because she said no.

    She is still the same beautiful, nice person you planned to have as a partner. Don’t get fooled into thinking otherwise.

    3. ‘Friendzoning’

    The word friendzoning here is used due to lack of a better word.

    Picture this; you ask a woman out and she says no, so you ask her if she does not mind you remaining her good friend.

    However, you are not asking to be friends with her because you really care about being around her that much, but because you are waiting for a slip up from her that’ll allow you pounce, sleep with her a few times and then abandon her completely as a payback for saying no to you.

    No, man. Don’t do that. Just move on.

    4. Feeling bad

    That a woman says no to you does not make you lesser than you are.

    Even if the lady says no in the harshest manner possible, it should never drive you into thinking you are no good.

    Yes, you might be imperfect but you remain a great guy and soon enough someone will take a chance on you.

    Keep your head up.

    5. Rebound relationships

    So someone says no to you and in order to prove to her that you are capable of dating prettier, more voluptuous women, you jump on to one who has all these things.

    The sad thing, however, is that you do not like her at all. You are just doing it to prove a point to the girl that said no to you.

    Do not do that, you are only setting yourself up for more misery.

If she’s feeling low, show up on her doorstep to take her for a drive. Keep the element of surprise alive in order to keep her wondering and the excitement going.
