In every relationship, there comes the inevitable "where-is-this-relationship-going talk? " I don't know about you guys, but when this moment arises in my relationships, my speech function grinds to a halt, my throat gets parched and dizziness ensues. My first response is always "I don't want a commitment, but I'd love to continue having sex with you. Okay?" - well not quite as blunt, but you get where I'm coming from. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of friends that have taken the plunge and are happy as pigs in slop. But for the guys that are as commitment phobic as I am, I thought I'd give you a heads up on some of the favorite tactics used by women to get you to cross over to the dark side and commit to her forever.
Tactic #1
Scenario: Drifting Away - Your girlfriend all of a sudden takes up karate, rock climbing, cliff diving or some other activity that seem out of character.
objective: To make you think that you are losing her.
Countermove: Play along, be supportive. Hey, buy her a crash helmet for her birthday. This is the oldest trick in the book. The point is to have other activities competing for your attention, so that you'll wonder how much she really matters in your life scheme.
The logic goes that if you start to wonder if she's drifting away, you'll have to be explicit about how much of her time
