5. You always pick her up when she goes out drinking with her friends.
Some guys think that always giving their girlfriend a ride home when she goes out with others is a sign of caring. Of course, it’s better to be safe than sorry, but if you offer to pick up your girlfriend in areas that are considered safe, she might think you are overly possessive instead of protective. Women also told us that guys who “worry too much” or who “care too much” are perceived as being clingy, rather than kind. Give your girlfriend a ride if she asks for it, but avoid it otherwise and let her be independent.
