We know that all (well, almost all) guys dread it when their girlfriends ask The Question. Try as they might, whether they speak the truth or tell a lie, the girlfriend is either able to detect it or they can drill the guy until he confesses.
So, let me come out with a list of the most commonly asked questions and hope that this will help a little.
Most of the time, if your answer doesn’t sound convincing or the girlfriend already has the perfect answer in her mind and you do not guess it right, you’ll most probably be grilled until you ‘fess up. I wish you good luck with lots of determination in sticking to your answer (don’t change – that means you’re inconsistent)!
Killer Question 1: “Am I fat?”
This is a very universal question in which almost all girls will ask her partner at least once in the relationship (more often if they’d been pigging out recently/ her clothes don’t fit that well anymore/ someone commented she put on weight/ she just want to make things difficult is having PMS). Well, if the truth is it isn’t, then just tell her plainly so. Girls sometimes have this magnifying glass lens when they see themselves in their mirror. They are actually poles-like but they see a huge elephant in front of the mirror. So don’t get annoyed and think they’re trying to be funny when they ask this question.
But if the answer is non-affirmative, that’s a lil’ tricky. Never say Yes in her face, or else you’ll never have any peace left (“that means I’m ugly?” “that means you don’t love me already is it?” “you mind how I look like right?” etc). You can try the roundabout way and tell her “You look ok to me what.” Done naturally and skilfully, this should get you off the hook. But if you do really mind you 2 are getting heavier on the scale, do suggest healthier options next time such as exercising or some physical activities like swimming/treking etc, because you wouldn’t want to wait till a day that you have to ask her this question yourself.
If all else doesn’t work (sometimes girls can be persistent), follow the alternative route: Say you’re tired and she’d be such a darling if she lets you rest first. I should think most girls would stop after she sees the irritated/tired look on the guy’s face. (but she’ll remember you owe her an answer still)
Killer Question 2: “Do you love me?”
The answer is simply Yes, without a doubt (and in less than one second). I don’t think any boyfriend would get this wrong. And I hope you meant it sincerely when you say yes to her. In case there’s a leading question which follows “How much do you love me then?”, the most classic and best answer I’d heard till so far (courtesy of my brother) is, “More than you’d ever think so.” *applaudes* This is better than trying to give any ratings or to make the ‘love’ quantifiable at all. Be prepared that this question will come out more than once in the relationship cos’ sometimes the girl wants to re-affirm how you feel when the lovey-doveyness in the relationship is experiencing a drought. I do think that the chances of testing whether your latest answer tallies with the previous is quite slim. Heh heh.
Killer Question 3: “Who do you love more, me or your ex-girlfriend?”
No guy wants to commit suicide by answering the latter. No matter what it is, you know the wrong answer can lead to a downward spiral of things (“since you prefer her, go back to her lah!”) so it’s a no-no. Lucky you if you’re a plain sheet of paper with no history written on it, but if you really love her more than you did compared to your ex-girldfriend, kindly do yourself a favour and let her know. In the very first place, don’t try to impress your to-be girlfriend by telling her what a love saint you were to your ex-girlfriend. NO. You may think you’re trying to impress by letting her know how devoted you were but I can guarantee it will bring you nightmares thereafter. If you did some noble acts for the ex but you don’t seem to be so enthusiastic now, you can be sure your present girlfriend will start comparing and ask if you love her more since you put in more effort back then. (!!!)
The simple rule is that all girls want to be the last and the most-loved of all by their boyfriends (for guys, they want to be the first and most-loved). Just let her know the present matters the most and nothing else. She’ll forgive you with whatever history you have. Almost.
Killer question 4: “If we both drop into the sea, who will you save first; your mum or me?”
Yours truly ever posed this dumb question before, and you can imagine the consequences when the poor guy was trying to figure out and give the most honest answer as much as possible. This is a deadend question. If you answer Mum, it means you’re a mummy’s boy and you don’t love her as much; if your answer is girlfriend, it can indicate your an unfillial son and you’ll make a bad husband/father/whatever:you’re already branded for life. But we all know this is a very hypothetical question (ie it is unlikely to happen in this lifetime), so the key to answer this is dependent upon who is asking it. For goodness sake, your mum’s a woman too and she may ask you this question too! So, answer to the affirmative depending on who is asking it. The person may chide you for the trap question’s answer but secretly she should be thrilled (if she isn’t looking for the thrill to pick up a quarrel, that is). But if both of them are at the spot and waiting for your answer, please choose the alternative route provided in question 1. And don’t don’t ever go onto a cruise together. Never. You wouldn’t want to be held responsible for not tallying your actions and answers, do you?
In case you hadn’t notice, this is a series of questions that may come on V-Day itself, especially after your gal has dressed in her best, waiting for your compliments (Pre-empt instead of react!! She’ll start to wonder if she’s fat/ugly because you did not say she looks good and Question 1 will come). Happy Valentines’ Day in advanced to all!
Killer question 4: “If we both drop into the sea, who will you save first; your mum or me?”
Oh boy! I can really remember this one! Poor A!! A simple way to answer such a killer question that would really render you dismembered, is to just look at the gf in the eye ” Baby, definitely you. The woman of the rest of my life” And in the event she says ” But what about your mother?” At this point, look at her in the eye again “I would just have to be branded “unfilial” for you for the rest of my life.” And firmly bring her into Tiffany’s for some window shopping.
*Clap Clap*
i’d simply be delighted beyond words if the guy *firmly* brings me to Tiffany’s.
