Haha, I have gotten many an “ok" (with the I'm bored) that it's almost hypocritical to make this article. Read on and you'll know what I mean! ;)
1. "Oh my gosh, my period cramps are SO BAD!"
This is the first on my list for a reason. Just... No. Don’t do that, that’s gross, he doesn’t need to know how bad it hurts, especially when he can’t do anything about it. Men can have an incredible drive to fix things, and telling him about something that he can’t fix could drive him crazy in one way or another.
2. "Ugh, my mom/dad/sibling/friend/ect. is so…(fill in the blank)!!!"
Again, he doesn’t need to know all the wrong or bad things your family does, that’s family business, not friend gossip business. And, guys can be have a very strong life rule of no or little drama; he may not want to hear it, and he might not care.
3. "I saw this guy today and..."
Don't talk to a guy about how wonderful and "perfect" this other guy is, because believe it or not, guys compare themselves to each other sometimes too. Just a whole lot less than girls. But also, don't say that "so and so" looks just like him, because you will scare that boy all the way to Tripoli!
4. "Hey, do you want some pick-up lines that will definitely get you that girl?"
Careful now, you may be swimming into not-so-calm waters because not only might you appear condescending or like you’re infringing on his manliness, but you may be touching on a sensitive subject. Do not swim here unless this guy is a friend that you know from the bygone age.
5. "Hey, I wanna learn The Bro Code."
If you know it, great, kudos to you. If not, don’t try to fake it, and don’t try to learn it. You can only learn it if they tell you, and you will have to be some lucky wonder to get a guy to induct you into the brotherhood. (I've done this)
6. "I’m so depressed right now, I want to die."
A lot the articles recently seem to be about depression, so it's on my mind while I'm writing... Ok. If you are serious, do NOT be texting someone who may or may not reply soon enough! You can call him, or another friend, or your parents, our even 911 if you are being serious. If you’re just kidding or are not actually depressed and suicidal, do not pretend! It’s a serious problem, maybe even for someone you know, maybe even for the person you’re texting. That text could tip the scale and send them crashing.
7. "I’m bored."
Depending on the guy you’re talking to, he may go “hello Bored, my name is (fill in the blank),” or maybe, simply “ok.” And that makes you feel worse, doesn’t? So maybe keeping it to yourself, or sending “hey, you free?” to a few different friends instead, would be better.
8. "I feel insane. I am insane. Yup. Insane."
It’s evening. You’re stressed with college. You’re tired. You get that feeling in your head and you think “I am insane”. You decide to text someone, and you choose your closest guy friend, who may also be your closest friend. Girl, lol, if you feel insane, you think a guy will help you get sane again? Nah bro. Not only could they pull an “ok” on you, but they may call you up the minute they see your text and say “So... crazy, you say?” And if you don’t deal carefully with this situation, you may find yourself in the next thirty minutes with him and his friends mudding, climbing in the hay loft and rafters of the barn, and playing Mission Impossible in the fields till 3:30 in the morning.
9. So... What do you like?"
Ladies, never ever talk to a guy about sex, I've been to plenty of chapels that were over sexting and such and it just isn't a good idea.
