3. Talking about an acquaintance, when you’re clearly talking about your ex.
Guys sometimes pretend to talk about an acquaintance, when they are actually talking about their ex-girlfriends. You might say something like, “Supposedly, it’s not easy having parents who are teachers,” but if your girlfriend knows anything about your ex, she’ll realize that your ex is the only person who fits the description. It’s important to know that women might not be interested in hearing your story once they know you are talking about your ex, even if you have no ulterior motive.
