5. Compare your relationship to that of your friend and her boyfriend’s: “My friend’s boyfriend pays attention to her!”
“If she’s not happy with me, she should go date someone else,” mentioned a guy in his 20s. Your boyfriend will not appreciate you comparing him to other guys. If you want to use your friend’s relationship as an example, make sure you phrase it differently, such as: “My friend went to a spa with her boyfriend the other day. Do you want to come with me when work calms down?”
