The Don’ts of Having “The Talk”

So you want to take that next step with your boy toy. You’re ready to be exclusive, yet you’re a bit nervous about having “the talk’” with him. Well I’m definitely no relationship guru, but I can surely think of a few ways to absolutely ruin the moment.


By Kim

Here they are: the 3 biggest don’ts of having The Talk:

1. Don’t try and break the ice via text. There’s nothing more impersonal than trying to have a serious conversation via text message. In person is your best bet.

2. Don’t decide to have the talk during game 5 of the NBA Finals. I guarantee you won’t get the response you’re hoping for.

3. Don’t ask your Facebook friends for advice. I’m serious, social networks could end your relationship before it even begins. You have been warned!

While I’ve covered the three biggest don’ts, my guess is that at this point, you’re still completely lost about what you should do. While I can’t give you any more advice (I’ve pulled a lot more don’ts in my years, than do’s) you can definitely find some more sound advice on the do’s and don’ts of having the talk here.

Good luck!

    It's in the first sentence, it's when you bring up being officially boyfriend/girlfriend with someone.
