First.
"I want you to want to do the dishes!" "Why would I want to do the dishes?!"
If you have seen "The Breakup" then you are probably cracking up right now. This is probably one of the most common fights that couples will have. She asks him to do the dishes and he wont and she says please, still he wont. Finally she gets mad and he does it. Basically guys, if you say no to the point of where she gets mad, you are in trouble. There is no way out of this, you don't do it then you are a jerk and you don't care. You do it then you are only doing it because she got mad. I know there are things you don't want to do. But really? do you think we want to sit there and watch hours of family guy with you? There are things that we both don't want to do, and it isn't about what is being done, it is about who you are doing it for. You may not want to sit down and watch the notebook, again, but you should want to be with her. You may not want to do the dishes but you should want do them for her.
Second
"Well, how mad are you going to be"
Do what you want: see definitions below
When we dare you to do something and you know it is something that we would not want you to do one of the very last things that you should ask is... "well, how mad are you going to be?" Let me tell you, however mad she WAS going to be if you did, was just escalated by ten, at least. You asking that just said to her, "I don't really care that you are upset I just want to know how much trouble I am going to get in." I know that sometimes there are things that you want to do that she doesn't want you to and sometimes you are going to do them despite her not wanting you to, but take the consequences like a man. Go do them and then face the fact that what you did either hurt her or made her mad. Don't ask her how much trouble you are going to be in because then when you don't do it, it will just seem like the trouble you were going to get in wasn't worth it..going back to the issue above of getting mad vs. wanting to.
Third
"No woman wakes up saying 'God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!'"
I don't care who she is, she wants to be romanced. This doesn't mean that every day you need to wake her up with roses but it means that you should always have the attitude that you are with your girl because you would rather not be with anyone else in the world, including alone. If you have that attitude then romance will just come naturally, then it would be you treating her how she truly deserves.
Fourth
We want to matter enough
Fighting is inevitable for any couple. It happens and often girls will get up and leave the room, hang up the phone, or kick you out. This can be dangerous territory and you will have to know the situation and your girl but... Sometimes when we leave the room or hang up the phone its because we are testing you. We are mad, yes, but we want to matter enough for you to brave the storm and come and get us. You know that the second you knock on that slammed door there is a hail storm waiting to strike you down, but you knock on the door because we matter enough for you to fight it out. Once again, some girls really just want you to leave them alone and knocking all the time comes off to strong, but there are situations where you need to learn to take what you need to in order to make things better. Hint: when a girl is mad because you are not spending enough time with her and she tells you that you will just deal with it later, you should probably go...no sprint over there. She is upset because she doesn't think you want to spend time with her, so she says that you guys can just talk about it the next day. If you give up the fight right away you are confirming what she thought, but if you run over there then you are proving that she matters and you want to spend time with her.
Fifth
"She is already out with you, which means that she likes you... now your job is to not screw it up."
Ok so guys freak out on the first date, and even after. You are insecure in whether or not the girl likes you. She said yes. She didn't have to, I have turned guys down, it sucks but it is a heck of a lot easier then wanting to gouge out my own eyes by going on a date with them. Girls can say no, but she said yes to you. Calm the heck down and stop trying to be that freaking annoying bad ass.
I'm sure there will be things added but for now this is my advice
Definitions:
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome,' that will bring on a 'whatever'.)
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying * YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
