When do you break off a short-term relationship? As soon as the girl leaves her toothbrush at your place it is time to move on.
Toothbrushes: Naturally, keeping a spare toothbrush is always good… until… the girl starts brining over her own stuff and leaving it there. Now you’re slowly on the path to a “live-in girlfriend”, this is a disaster in the making. One day you’ll come back from a night out and she’ll have “left” some belongings from previous hook ups… Get ready to break it off. If you don’t? Expect the following:
- Many conversations surrounding “where is this going” lets talk about “this”
- Double check your condoms… she may poke holes in them
- Consistently asking for “condom-less sex” another trap, she’s likely off the pill but telling you she isn’t
- Asking why you “don’t do” XYZ, becoming more demanding
- Expecting immediate responses to messages both verbal and electronic
- Psycho actions occur roughly 2-4 months after your original hook up, if you’ve gone this far expect to be quasi stalked for a long time
No one is perfect, we’ve all accidentally dated someone for far far too long… so here are some good guidelines on how to avoid getting trapped, even with a decent girl
Always Be Closing (ABC): Even if you met an ideal girl, hot, great in bed and cooks well… Keep talking to girls every day. This keeps your mind sharp as you’ll realize there are always more fish in sea. Every day you fail to talk to a new girl, the “great” one you currently have gains “hand”. Don’t let this be you. Always be meeting new ones.
Stay in Shape: As soon as you get off your fitness routine, this is an indirect sign to “settling down”. Losing that six pack? Prob because the dude got tied down. Losing that chest and back line? Look to the same conclusion. Keep hitting the gym. Do not choose the girl over the gym unless it really was an off/rest day for you.
Sickness: This is where getting trapped happens a lot. You lock down a good girl then.. you get sick. She takes care of you, helps you out and you’re feeling more comfortable. You’re looking worse and worse, but she’s sticking around! Now you’re thinking this is the life. Until of course the dreaded “conversation” occurs and you realize, life is a game and you’ve just gone a month or more without practice. For shame.
Lock Down: Whenever you find a good one, your place must be on lock down. That iPad app that shows your net worth? Locked. All your expensive shit? Locked. Your real condoms so she can’t poke holes in them? Locked. Your blog about how you should be chasing cash instead of bitches? Locked. Similar to your initial day every thing is on “lock” and it is your fault if you fuck up. We’ve all been there before and at the end of the day you’ve got no one to blame but yourself.
As you can see, the trick to life is essentially to always keep yourself in tip top shape. Financially, physically, mentally and emotionally. Unless the girl is 3pts better looking than you, richer than you (2x+) and yet still maintains her feminine nature. It’s a bear trap. Run mother fucker run.
With all this said its time to double check your pad, make sure that thing is locked up like fort knox. Or suffer the fate… of “average man”.
