6. You lie about being friends with your ex and other guys
“My girlfriend told me she bought the earrings herself, but when I kept asking questions, she confessed they were a gift from her ex-boyfriend.” “My girlfriend said she was going on a trip with the girls, but there were clearly guys in the group.” Guys feel distrustful of your “lies,” especially when it comes to your relationship with other guys. You also don’t know how you might get caught. One reader told us, “My girlfriend said, ‘It’s not a drinking party, it’s for work,’ but I saw a post on her friend’s Twitter saying, ‘At a singles party with ○○.’” It’s best not to tell him lies for your own convenience.
