Girls are notorious for asking friends what to say to guys over text and spending an unnecessary amount of time wording every text just right. Girls, before sending these texts, you don’t even need to check with your friends first. I’m telling you right now, just don’t do it unless you want the boy to run.

1. Talking about your ex

If you are interested in a boy, talking about how your still not over your ex is probably not the best way to win him over. Even talking about things you did or even talked about with your ex is just best left unmentioned. You don’t need to give the guy any wrong ideas.

2. Talking about other guys

This one should just go without saying. Getting a guy to like you typically doesn’t start off with also bringing up other guys that you have/have had interest in. No guy wants to feel like he needs to compete for you.

3. Asking about your future/commitment

Maybe try to avoid questions like “So what are we?” and “So how many kids do you want?” Save the marriage and children conversations for a few years down the road. Guys haven't thought about what they're going to do an hour from now, they're certainly not thinking about your future together.

4. "Why haven't you responded?"

Ladies, if he hasn’t responded, let it be. He is not responding for a reason and that reason is likely something you don’t want to hear. If he wants to talk to you, he will. If he’s not responding, annoying him by asking him why not is not going to get him to reply any faster.

5. Drunk texts

The ultimate no-no. No guy is going to get turned on by trying to decipher some jibberish about who knows what at 2:30 in the morning. These can also lead to some things being said that you might regret in the morning…

6. Confessions of love

Which leads me to confessions of love. Nothing will get a guy to run faster than the “L” word. Save it for the distant future. Don’t be the obsessive girl texting him at the late hours of the night "why don't you love me?"

7. Calling him the wrong name

Alright now ladies, if you do decide to talk to multiple boys at one time (hey, good for you), just make sure you have sorted out who is who in your head. Sam is going to feel pretty salty when he opens a text that was meant for Steve.

8. Calling him "bro" or "dude"

If you’re romantically interested, making yourself to appear like “one of the guys” is not a good way to get what you want. No “dude” wants to be friend-zoned by a girl that is calling him her “bro”. Just guys being dudes doing bro stuff ya know? Yeah, no.
