Want to Be a Great GF? Avoid Doing These 7 Sketchy Things ...

By Holly

You'd never cheat, so you don't want your boyfriend to get the wrong idea about you. If he really cares about you, it's natural for him to worry about all the ways you could potentially hurt him. That's why you need to be a great girlfriend by staying open and honest with him. Here are a few sketchy things that are sure to make your boyfriend suspicious:

Playing Keep-Away with Phone

If you always keep your phone out of his reach or put a lock on it so he can't see your texts, he's going to wonder what you have to hide. Even if he'd never dream of reading through your messages, he'd feel more comfortable if you were willing to let him hold your cell. If you freak out when he gets close to it, he'll think something's wrong.

2

Out of Sight Social Life

If you keep your man away from your friends and family, he's going to wonder why you're not eager to involve him in your life. He'll either think that you're embarrassed of him, or he'll think that he's not your only man. After all, you wouldn't want your family to meet him if they've already met another one of your boyfriends.

3

Keeping It Vague

If he asks you where you're going and you just say "out," he's going to be suspicious. If he asks you who you're hanging out with and you say that you're not sure who will be there, he won't be happy, either. You wouldn't want him to go out and about without letting you know the details, would you? That's why you need to make sure you always keep him in the loop.

Phone off, Emotions off

If you normally reply to his texts as soon as he sends them, but then go three hours without replying, he'll be suspicious. If he knows you're at work or at school, you have a valid excuse. But if you say that you just didn't hear the phone beep, he's going to think you're out with someone else.

5

Lost in Translation

If your boyfriend finds out about your promotion from Facebook, he's not going to be happy. If he's not the first person you're telling exciting news to, he'll wonder why. He'll end up assuming that you don't care about him as much as he cares about you, so make sure to keep an open dialogue.

Famous Quotes

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

Time's Not on His Side

If you love your partner, you'll make time for him, no matter how busy your schedule is. If you keep blowing him off, he's going to wonder if he's even important to you. He might even assume that you're spending your time with another man. So if you want to reassure him how much you care, set aside some time for him, even if it's only a few hours.

7

Extra Ex Talk

If you're always talking about your ex, or even about another guy that you're close friends with, your boyfriend will wonder what's so special about him. If you're always talking about someone else, that means you're always thinking about someone else, and your boyfriend isn't going to like that very much.

If you want your relationship to last a long time, you need to reassure your boyfriend that he's the only one for you. Has your boyfriend ever done any of these sketchy things?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I agree with Abby, and I would also like to point out the fact that you think he should have access to your phone- so guys CAN have locked phones and hide them from their girlfriends but girls can't do that? I think it's okay to have locked phone- in case it is stolen you protect it in some way- just don't act like there are unknown secrets about the universe on it.

I can relate to every point here, I won't deny it.

I work deny it, number 1 was the main relationship killer but I never cheated on my baby.I really hope one day he realizes that because I have a strong feeling that he cheated on me many times.

Agree with this to a degree but a lot of it seems like your just trying to please the other person, I'm not always doing things but don't always reply straight away

Chill out Cassie. vv Don't like the post? Ignore it and move on.

I love the post actually Madi, I am talking to SugarPoww55. Her comment was unnecessary and she was just looking for a reason to call this sexist. I'm very chill thanks.

Guys do these things all the time

I only have a guy friends so if I talk about other people, it's either my annoying family or my guy friends. My phone is locked but he knows the code and I know his. A lot of this just seems to be catering to be jumping through hoops to make the other person happy.

THEY NEVER SAID THAT GUYS WERE ALLOWED TO DO THIS AND WE ARENT. STOP LOOKING FOR SEXISM WHERE THERE IS NOT ANY!
