“Are you really going to eat all that?”
One of the golden rules of communicating with a woman is this: Thou shall not comment on how much she eats. It never ends well. Even if it’s a simple question, and you are genuinely curious if she is seriously going to house that burrito on her own, she will take it as a criticism. She might get so upset she’ll accuse you of calling her fat, and gentleman, trust me…this is one word you never want your girl to bring up in an argument. Let her eat however much she wants without any commentary from the peanut gallery.

“Who’s your friend?”
Sure, you might just want to be polite, but your girlfriend is probably thinking something along the lines of “Why…does he think she’s hot?” Of course, there really is no quick fix for this one, as it has more to do with her insecurities than you asking a simple question. The best way to avoid getting in trouble for asking a simple question? Don’t ask. Wait for her to introduce you to her friends and then make sure she knows that you only have eyes for her.

“You’re crazy.”
Women aren’t always the most rational creatures in the land, and I can say that because I am one. However, calling a woman “crazy” will only upset her even more. Chances are, what you think is crazy is really her just being completely overwhelmed by her emotions and not handling the situation well at all. When you call her “crazy” or “insane”, it makes her feel like you’re negating her feelings…which only upsets her even more. Vicious cycle I tell you!

“Are you almost ready?”
Gentleman, journey with me into the brain of a woman who is getting ready for a night out…after you’ve asked her this question. Well, I have one eyelash on, my eyeliner is running, I have no idea what I’m going to wear because I just tried my skinny jeans on and they feel tighter than they did yesterday, which kind of makes me want to cry but I won’t because I don’t want my eyeliner to run even more. You hovering over me, sighing dramatically and looking at your watch isn’t really helping me get ready any faster. Also, yes, I know what time it is so you can stop asking me. Oh, and? I am doing all of this, all of the makeup and the hair and the trying on of the nine million different outfits for one reason and one reason only, buddy. I want to look good for you. You’ll appreciate the end result, so shut it. Read When Your Guy’s Mother REALLY Hates You

“Can I kiss you?”
Just do it. Confidence is key, and asking for a kiss, while cute to some, doesn’t scream of confidence. She might turn her cheek, she might give you a close mouthed peck, she might duck and yell (here’s hoping that doesn’t happen!) but at least you’ll walk away with your dignity!
“But the game is on.”
Generally speaking, most women are pretty understanding when it comes to men and sports. Heck, lot’s of women I know are more invested in their fantasy drafts than their guys are. But when a guy constantly uses “the game” as an excuse to get out of doing something, things can turn sour fast. In this digital age, there is really no legit reason that you need to be tied to your couch to keep up with the score. Or if you must, DVR it and watch it when your woman doesn’t need some attention.
