When it comes to dating, what many women would see as charming, I find repulsive. From nauseating nick-names to gag-worthy gifts, I’m often left wondering, Is this guy for real? While I love a caring man, I also love my space. Sometimes, sweet becomes just a little bit too sweet (yes, it’s possible for a guy to be too clingy). Is the new guy you’re dating cute, or is his behavior so sweet it’s mildly repulsive? Find out after the jump.
| CUTE | TOO CUTE |
|---|---|
| Winking at me from across a crowded room | Winking at me when I’m the only other person in the room |
| Taking care of me by bringing me soup when I’m sick | Taking care of me by pouring water from your glass into my glass after every time I take a sip |
| Calling me “babe” | Referring to me as my name + “angel” |
| Buying me earrings | Buying me earrings that are green and blue because “those are the colors of our birthstones” |
| Talking to me nicely | Talking to me in the voice you talk to your cat in, when in bed |
| Asking me if I’d like more cake | Giving me more cake when I said I didn’t want it because “I look hungry” |
| Asking me what gets me off | Telling me I should read an article your mom suggested on how to have an orgasm |
| Telling me you care about me | Whispering “I think I’m falling in love with you” when you (mistakenly) believe I’m sleeping |
| Sleeping over once in a while | Begging me to sleep over because you can “no longer sleep without me” |
| Telling me you like me | Telling me that you’ve tended to like the women you’ve dated more than they’ve liked you |
| Friending me on Facebook | Changing your status to “in a relationship” after three dates |
| Calling me occasionally | Being the only one to initiate the calls, and initiating them 3x a day |
| Letting me share your umbrella | Insisting I take your umbrella while you get soaked |
| Taking me out on Valentine’s Day | Writing me a poem about how we’re made for each other on Valentines Day |
| Complementing me on my eyes | Telling me my eyes shine like the stars and that my skin is “creamy like butter” (true story) |
