10 Things Guys Should Never Do When They Like A Girl
Edge of the World

Alright, guys. This article is intended especially for you. Girls, I'm sure you can agree with me on most if not all of these tips. Guys, get out some paper and something to write with. You've got a LOT to learn.


1. NEVER go a day without texting/hanging out with us.

Okay, guys. I know you're probably thinking,"What?! Is she serious?!" Yes. As a matter of fact, I am. If you truly like us, then you should make an effort to contact/hang out with us at least once on a daily basis. If this doesn't happen, we'll most likely assume that you are spending time with/like another girl. Ridiculous, I know. But some of us think that way.

2. NEVER be too forward.

I personally consider this to be a HUGE turn off in a guy. Guys, please refrain from being too forward with us, especially if we are just getting to know you. For example, let's say you start to like a girl you just met. Don't ask her out just yet. Remember, you just met this girl, who probably doesn't know much about you. Asking her out immediately will most likely scare her away. Instead, begin by engaging in small conversations with her. Tell her about yourself. Make her feel comfortable around you. After doing this for a while, try asking her out. Who knows? You might just make your way out of the friend zone.

3. NEVER tell us about your exes, at least not more than necessary.

Another example of something that I consider to be a HUGE turn off in a guy is when he tells me about his exes. Yes, it's okay to tell us about your past, but please don't overdo it. Here's a question for all of you guys out there: Do you truly understand what it means to label someone your "ex-girlfriend?" Hello! She's your ex-girlfriend, not your current one. Please, just don't waste our time. If you want her, go get her. However, if you truly only like us, then you should really only be focused on us.

4. NEVER hesitate to express affection for us in public.

Okay, guys. This is a very important tip! Never hesitate to express affection for us in public, as we may assume that the reason why you're hesitating to do so is because you want to give the impression that you are still "available." Yes, some girls tend to think, "I know why he doesn't hug me in public. There's another girl, isn't there?!" Bottom line: if you like us, act like it. No matter where you are.

5. NEVER pursue us if you do not intend on having a genuine relationship with us.

Just in case it isn't already obvious, many women are looking to have a genuine relationship with a guy. Yes, guys. This means we want kisses, hugs, and pretty much everything else you can think of... Except to be pursued for the wrong reasons. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Here's something to keep in mind: unless you plan on making us your one and only girlfriend for a long period of time (and maybe even something more in the future), please don't bother pursuing us.

6. NEVER fail to use your manners.

Yes, guys. We know that, as males, your behavior differs from ours in certain ways. However, please make sure to mind your manners.This means saying "excuse me" when necessary, holding doors open for us, refraining from cursing too much, etc. Also, please abstain from posting inappropriate content on social media, especially if it's something that's going to "turn us off."

7. NEVER force us to do what we're not ready to do.

This tip is extremely important! Never force us to do what we're not ready to do. In other words, don't pressure us to engage in actions that we're not yet comfortable with (e.g. kissing, hugging, sex, etc.). Bottom line: just give us time and take it slow. We'll let you know when, and if, we're ready.

8. NEVER ignore us.

This is another very important tip. Don't ignore us. Otherwise (like I said in tip one), we'll most likely resort to thinking that you are spending time with another girl. Additionally, note that we won't be too happy with you if we find out that you have read our messages but have failed to answer them (P.S. we also won't be too happy with you if we notice that you are active on social media but have failed to reply to our messages). Please, if you're busy, just let us know. But even then, be careful. We still might think you're up to something.

9. NEVER spend too much time with us.

I'm sure you're probably thinking,"What?! This makes no sense! What about some of the other tips you mentioned?!" Here's the deal: we love spending time with you, but not too much time. We are just as turned off by "clingy" guys as you are by "clingy" girls. In other words, we don't like it when you text us too often, we don't like to hang out with you every second of the day, etc. Let me conclude this tip by stating that it is very important that the spark in the relationship remains lit, and that spark will only remain lit if you keep us wanting more.

10. NEVER talk to/hang out with other girls, at least not too much.

This is one of the most important tips of all, in my opinion. Guys, if you like us, we expect you to make us your top priority (i.e. your "main chick") out of all of the other girls you may know. Even if it's only for a short period of time, if we notice you talking to/hanging out with other girls, we'll probably start thinking you like them as more than a friend. Like I said in tip three, if you truly only like us, then you should really only be focused on us.


That's the end of these tips! Guys, I hope you abide by them. Trust me, your love life won't be too pretty if you don't!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
