As girls, we're guilty for over analyzing anything that comes our way when dealing with guys. One little word can make our heads spin into another dimension just trying to decipher what they meant, making us seem like we're the complicated ones. We spend hours drafting the perfect message, making sure there aren't too many "y's" in our "hey's", making sure we sound as interested as we can, even if the conversation is down right boring, and making sure the text is sent out at the perfect time, not too early to seem to eager and no too late to seem like "one of those girls". Even with all this effort we put in just to send the perfect text, there are some key words and phrases you should never, ever say to a guy. These texts will either scare them off, or even worse, make them think your crazy or a little too clingy. So when you're drafting that perfect text to send to your guy (or any guy in general), save yourself the trouble and stay away from these trigger words.
1. "We Need to Talk".
Ding, ding, ding! This is the ultimate winner of what not to say, EVER. Nothing says get mentally prepared for a long, drawn out argument or talk like this phrase. When they hear these four little words they know all hell is about to break loose, and who are we kidding, so do we. This texts makes it seem like all the blame is put on them and whatever is wrong is automatically their fault, which is something they definitely do not want to deal with in any relationship.
2. "Do you even like me anymore?".
Obviously if a guy is with you, he likes you and finds you attractive. Never second guess their reasoning for that. They like you for you, your looks, your brain, your personality, anything you can imagine, they like you because of who you are. Questioning them whether or not they like you only makes them think that you second guess them, which can push them even further away. Trust us and trust him, he knows you exist and he still likes you just as much as he did when ever things started with you two.
3. "Why haven't you texted me back?".
This just seems clingy and is something no guy wants. To put it in basic terms, don't over text. One to two double texts is fine to get your point across, but when you get to three or more, especially if you're in a heated argument, be prepared to not have any response anytime soon. Just leave it be and wait patiently for their text back, even if it seems like it's a never ending wait.
4. Saying "Nothing" When Something is Clearly Upsetting You.
Every guy knows, or should know, that when you ask girls, "What's wrong?" and they respond, "nothing" or "whatever", they are clearly in the wrong and they don't want to be. Boys scramble around trying to figure out the last thing they did or last thing they sent just to see what could have made us mad. By saying "nothing", you're also giving them nothing to go off of. They're no mind readers (clearly) and sometimes need that little push to know what is really bothering us.
5. "I think we should break up".
Most guys never want to hear this because they want to beat us to the punch. They want to be the ones to be able to brag to their friends that they ended things and they have the upper hand. Other guys, however, may never want to hear these words because they're too hurt and still totally into you. Either way, these six words can go one way or another, just depends on the type of guy you are with and even then, no one wants to be the one broken up with.
