The Single Man's Guide To Not Being a Creeper


This picture might be the funniest/scariest thing I've ever seen. But let's be real: no one likes a creeper. I don't claim to be an expert on THE LADIES but I do have a lot of girl friends (not to be confused with "girlfriends", of which I have none...in case you were wondering...ladies...) and a sister who LOVE sharing stories about the creepy guys they deal with. Don't want to be a subject of one of these conversations? Follow these tips.

1. Don't "like" all of her profile pictures.
It's weird. It's like saying "Hey I have no desire to have a conversation with you, but I'm lusting after your body from a distance." Not cute. Stop it.


2. Don't tell a girl she's "the one" unless she is.
If you're married, engaged, or almost engaged after a substantial adult relationship, go for it. It's cute, romantic, and if it's true I totally support it. If you've been dating a month, on your first date, never been on a date, or talking to a girl on Facebook chat that you randomly added because she's hot and you have 2 mutual friends, DON'T SAY IT. Her heart won't melt. It's creepy. You deserve every ounce of mace sprayed in your face, ya nutcase. (Totally freestyled there.)

3. One long, heartfelt text/message/voicemail  without a response is enough.
If you decide to spill your guts to your "dream girl" or try to ask her out via any of these forms of communication and she doesn't respond, STOP. Stop convincing yourself she's too busy to respond. Stop telling yourself she must not have gotten it. Stop pretending she didn't have her phone on her. She did. She got it broseph, and she's not interested. Move on.

4. Don't send random pics of yourself to a girl. 
Shirtless mirror pic or you flexing, she's not impressed. You're a tool. This is saying "I have no personality and nothing interesting to say but I'm a dumb guy and I think if you like my body you'll want to be with me." Guys, girls aren't as shallow as we are, and if a girl is, she's not girlfriend material.

5. Stop Bragging.
Stop bragging. Stop bragging. Stop bragging. STOP BRAGGING. No girl is sitting at home waiting for Prince Charming to ride up to her house on his noble steed to tell her how much his car cost or how much he bench presses. You're an idiot. No one cares.

6. If she says she doesn't like you, it doesn't matter how flirty she is after. She meant it.
If you confess your love to a girl who shoots you down, and she flirts with you, kisses you, or whatever, it doesn't change anything. Females Males Human beings like attention. You can't blame them. If she cuddles with you during a scary movie after telling you she doesn't like you, SHE STILL DOESN'T LIKE YOU. If a girl changes her mind and feels like she made a mistake not giving you a chance, she'll tell you, I promise. (Sadly, this will probably happen after you've moved on and found someone else, but hey, we all want what we can't have.)



I could go on and on, but i feel like these are the most common "crimes" guys are guilty of. Just be yourself. Be funny, be nice, be genuinely caring and if she's interested, you'll know. There's a big difference between "being a man and taking initiative" and "trying to fit a square block in the round hole". This is the best advice I have to offer my fellow males, but if it doesn't work...just show them this.

She still won't like you but HOLY CRAP that's funny!

  4. Great advice. It's pretty amazing how many people will do things that are so awkward....yet normal to them. Here's another one that I have experienced: Too much eye contact. Too many "moments." Trying to catch the "moment" every time your date looks even partially in your direction. And, regarding the calling back after leaving a heartfelt message and no response -- It is true. It is true even when a message is not left. My sister and I would have creepster phone numbers programmed to ring with a special tune when they called. And when they did, as they always do, we would just look at each other and say, "is this guy for real? How can he not get the message? This guy has got to be a complete idiot." Assertive - GOOD; Clinging to the one number you got in 3 months and then dialing it on a regular basis just in case she'll answer - BAD. And stop f--ckin around with calling from a private or unknown number - YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF.

  5. well said! Assertive and confident doesn't mean forceful and awkward. It's sad that they don't see it
