Sometimes we can't help it. We ask the question before even thinking about it and once we've blurted it out, it's too late to go back. Women -- albeit sometimes unknowingly -- set out relationship landmines. Could you be one of them? Check out the questions below to see …
1. Does this make me look fat?
Women are never looking for an honest answer to this question. Never. Imagine for a moment what would happen if your beloved actually turned to you and said, "Oh yeah, you better go change or else everyone's going to think you're pregnant." Men don't even notice your little imperfections; they just love the whole package.
2. Is she prettier than me?
You hear yourself say it and it actually makes you cringe. This question comes from a place of insecurity and low self-esteem. One thing to keep in mind when you feel this question come bubbling up from your stomach is that you're with him and she's not, so there's no need to stress about every girl who wanders into your man's field of vision.
3. How many women have you slept with?
Being open and honest about both of your sexual histories is essential in every relationship. But there's no need to know the exact number, it will just eat away at you. And men are similar in this way; they don't really want to know the exact number either. So maintain a little mystery and be discreet with this little (or large) figure.
4. What are you thinking?
That look on his face is probably just gas. Men don't have the same inner-dialogue women do and their natural response to this question is "nothing." To get more than a one-word answer out of your man, try asking a more specific question like: "what do you think about (insert topic)?"
5. Where is our relationship going?
Feelings, commitment, future?! If you want to get your guy running for the hills, bust out this little quandary. This question sounds pushy and full of hidden traps for men to fall into. Don't push the relationship to the place you want it to be, let it progress naturally and you'll be a much happier girlfriend for it.
6. If you could sleep with one of my friends, which one would you sleep with?
You've just stuck your guy between a rock and a hard place; there's no good way for him to answer this question. And if he's smart, he'll keep his mouth shut on this one. Maybe you're wondering what your boyfriend's "type" is or what features they're the most attracted to. But asking them to pick one of your friends they would hypothetically want to sleep with will just weigh on your mind every time you see that girl. It could end up damaging not only your relationship with your boyfriend but your friendship with whichever girl he chooses.
