10 Things Never to Say to a Woman

1). She’s just a friend.

Yeah right. If she’s attractive and single, she'll see her as a threat. If
she really is just a friend, let her know the reason why. Is it because she’s not your type,she has a boyfriend, she has an annoying personality? Women like to be reassured that you’re not secretly into your “friend."

2). I’ll call you tonight at 8pm.

Do NOT give a specific time or date of when you will be calling unless you intend to keep your word. If you say you will call tonight, she is expecting a call tonight. Not calling will set off all sorts of alarms that will lead to distrust. If you don’t know when you will call, you can say something like, “I’ll talk to you later.”

3). She’s hot!

She'll want to think that, at least in your eyes, she is the hottest woman on the planet. Pointing out that someone else is attractive will not earn you any brownie points. She doesn't want to know if you think anyone else is hot, so zip it!

4). I don’t use condoms.

That’s nice. She doesn't want an STD. Condoms are a fact of life in today’s society, so unless you’ve been tested and plan to be monogamous, get used to them.

5). I love you

If you don’t mean it, you’ll be opening Pandora’s Box. Women do not take
this statement lightly. She is waiting for you to say it and when you do, she assumes the relationship is moving to the next level. If you’re not ready for that, then don’t utter these three little words until you are.

6). Did you gain weight?

Does this one really need an explanation? You shouldn’t even say this jokingly, even if your girlfriend is stick thin. Just as you don’t want to hear anything about your “size”, women don’t want to hear about their weight.

7). My ex always/never/used to…

If your ex is still on your mind so much that you need to constantly bring her up, then why are you dating us? Relationships are difficult enough without the ghost of your ex floating around. Either get back with her or shut up.

8). You remind me of my mother.

Do not compare your mother to your girlfriend unless you’ve made it clear that you absolutely adore your mother and think the world of her.

9). Did we have plans?

Oh no you didn’t! If you've made plans to get together, she's been looking forward to it all day. She's been thinking about how to dress and how to do her hair. Don’t rain on her parade by being dumb enough to forget or there will be hell to pay.

10). Keep in touch/Call me.
What the heck is that supposed to mean? That you don’t plan on ever calling her again? That you want her to call you next time? That you’re unsure how she feels about you and you want to see if she'll call? The fact that you are being vague and distant is going to raise a red flag. Upfront honesty might not be the most desirable approach due to a high degree of awkwardness, but sometimes honesty is the best policy.
