Cosmo, in their never ending wisdom, has given some very specific guidance to those with boyfriends, because as we all know, one relationship is exactly the same as the next. Here are some of my favorites:
Leaving Stuff at His Place
Do This: "Forget" your necklace.
Leave behind a pretty, delicate piece of jewelry (such as a little gold necklace) and he'll think of you in similar terms every time he sees it.
An obvious act of desperation, one that he's more than likely seen before, or used himself. It will incite one of two thoughts - "maybe I can pretend it's not here" or "hey, a necklace. Maybe the next girl needs a gift."
Leaving Stuff at His Place
Not That: Leave a toothbrush in his bathroom.
An unsolicited toothbrush or other toiletry will give him the impression you're moving too fast -- and may freak him out.
If you've spent enough nights at his house to plan ahead and bring a toothbrush, leaving it there probably won't freak him out. It's oral hygiene, not the Tiffany's catalogue.
Sending Him Texts
Do This: Type "Last night was amazing. Repeat 2nite?"
Keeping your message short and provocative will ensure he stays totally intrigued.
Generally, implying that sex is on for the night will ensure he's interested for that evening, it doesn't guarantee he'll stay interested after that. Also, if you have to send the text above, it has the faint stench of a last ditch effort to keep seeing him, which it probably will be.
Sending Him Texts
Not That: Send a message that's more than two sentences.
To him, texting is for quick communication. Sending him a novel is analogous to a droning phone call.
I actually agree with this one. Not saying enough, or ignoring him altogether, is a fantastic strategy. Men like to chase. Let them. Also, bonus points to Cosmo for their $10 use of "analogous".
Wearing Lingerie
Do This: Wear a matching lace bra and underwear.
Sets that come in white or pastel colors -- think lavender or light pink -- give him a little peek at what's in store while you still look feminine and innocent.
If you're giving him "a peek" at your bra and panties, your innocent cover is blown.
Wearing Lingerie
Not That: Wear something he needs an engineering degree to get off of you.
Teddies and little nighties with ties, buckles, and bows are hot, but he'll be too busy trying to figure out how to get you out of it to notice how amazing you look.
Ummmm. no. If he can't "figure out" how to get it off of you nicely, he's going to rip it off, and isn't that more fun anyway? I don't know one man who, in the course of getting a woman naked, stops, gives up, and says "I'm stumped."
