THE SEVEN THINGS I WISH GUYS KNEW ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS





I have been in a number of relationships and in each relationship that I've been in, I get to learn more and more about men and how they are when it comes to relationships. At the risk of sounding very judgmental, I can say that a lot of guys out there are clueless when it comes to being in a romantic relationship. They don't have a single clue! Don't get me wrong, please. There are a couple of good guys out there but for those who are not so sure if they are doing the right thing, read on and learn.


TIP #1: THE GUY SHOULD ASK AND PAY FOR THE FIRST DATE

Even in this age of equal opportunities and sexual empowerment, it's still very sweet to think that we don't have to worry about anything during our first date except for how we will look that day. Not only is it sweet that you asked us and you're willing to pay for it, it also takes out the burden of having to think if we should ask you or not. Just do it for us please. Make it easy for us. Just let us focus on looking damn good for the night.


TIP # 2: HAVE JUST ENOUGH AMOUNT OF MANNERS

I think having manners is mandatory! But don't overdo it! It's good that you take the danger zone when we're walking or even crossing the street. I also like it when you open the door when we'd go somewhere or when you introduce us to your friends. For me, no need to open the door when we step out of the car.


TIP #3: MONEY HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

A lot of guys think that we only enjoy the date when it's expensive or when they bring us to nice places. Wrong! If you're the type of guy with expensive taste, it's fine to spend a lot but honestly, we enjoy dates that are unique and fun. After all, the whole point of dating is not to impress but rather to enjoy your company. Keep it "reachable". Take us somewhere we'd normally not consider. Please do not take us to the mall! It's just plain boring. Take us biking to the park. A visit in a museum or a zoo. A videoke session. Take us to Chinatown or Intramuros. Take us when you buy your DVDs. Be creative!


TIP #4: SHOW US YOUR SENSITIVE SIDE

Nothing is more sweet than knowing that we're not dating a sentinel or some kind of a robot. The days of alpha males are gone. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you like chick flicks or light beer. It feels kinda good to know that you don't mind watching our telenovelas with us.


TIP #5: WE MISS GETTING LOVE LETTERS

E-mails don't count, okay? Getting a letter is such a classic act of romance. It will never fail. We're happy that you text us often or send us a message via YM, Skype or FB but knowing that you wrote us a love letter? Definitely worth 1 Million pogi points.


TIP #6: COMPLIMENT HOW WE LOOK

You normally take 5 to 10 minutes to get a shower and get dressed up. We spend a lot of time just to make sure we look good. Give us a compliment! Tell us how nice we smell. Tell us how you like what we're wearing. Tell us that we're the cutest in the room. We just love hearing it. Even when you don't really mean it, the mere fact you told us how you like how we look does the trick.


TIP #7: WE DON'T MEAN WHAT WE SAY ALL THE TIME

After we fight and we tell you that we don't want to see you again, don't say, "Okay.". We say things differently so be very patient. When we say, "I hate you.", we could mean "I love you but I can't tell you that because I'm mad.".



We are very complicated. It's not easy. We're not easy but that makes it worth the effort.

BOY GOES GIRLY by Toni Villafuerte

Image
"Boy Goes Girly" is a blog series that aims to promote confidence in one's sexuality regardless of gender. It promotes being at peace with how you do things even if society dictates that certain things should only be done by certain people. It's a guilt-free pass to amazingly fun things to do and sometimes a bit of trivia comes with it. Enjoy. For our first installment, I bought Summit Media's "Total Girl Slambook" recently and I thought it could be interesting to answer something that's completely mindless and yet incredibly entertaining. I encourage you to answer some of the questions I answered or even get the book. It's only Php 150. *love love love*

The Wonderful Things I Learned From Mr. Wrong

Image
Every girl (and a whole lot of guys too) I know are in this never ending search for Mr. Right.   According to the myth, Mr. Right is called Mr. Right simply because he is the most perfect fit as to what everyone wants in the guy they date. He is the one we can’t wait to tell our friends about. He is someone we would want our parents or family to meet. He is the one we cannot tweet enough about or potentially the subject of at least 50% of our Instagram and Facebook posts. He is our destiny. WHO: Mr. Right Across many different cultures, Mr. Right is believed to be good looking, smart, healthy, sensible, financially independent, a gentleman, funny, reliable, good in sports, can handle his alcohol, loyal, honest, good in bed and has the most perfect timing. He is most commonly played by the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Brad Pitt, Jericho Rosales and John Lloyd Cruz in all the romantic comedy films with a happy ending that we all loved. ...

OF PROMS, BLACK SHIRTS AND EVER BILENA

Image
by Toni Villafuerte It was 3 o’clock in the morning and my friend and I have been talking for hours trying to catch up about what has happened for the last few months. “Oh, I’m gonna tell you a story about this dance event I attended…”, says John (not his real name of course. Sheesh.). “You went to that? How was it?”, this is me. “It was a bit of a drag, but it was okay.” Him. “Did you have fun?” Me. “Not really. But a girl asked me to ask her to dance.” Him. “She did? This is not King and Queen of Hearts right?” Me making fun of him. “Nah. I can’t remember what the song was but it sure was uncomfortable!” Him. “Huh? What do you mean by that?” Me, asking. “Everyone was staring at us. Making fun of me. They just know the girl sooo isn’t my type.” Him, a bit defensive. “She wasn’t? Why not?” Me, confused. “She just isn’t. She was wearing something expensive yet funny-looking. And did ...
