Any kind of heart jewelry.<\/strong> Men stop learning what to buy for gifts after we hit the sixth grade. Puberty scrambled up our brains pretty well, so we didn&#8217;t have time to learn about concepts like &#8220;being thoughtful.&#8221; Which is why jewelry with any kind of heart design on it is a go-to for men who can&#8217;t come up with good gifts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Stuffed teddy bears.<\/strong> This is OK to do if he won it at a carnival game for a dollar. If he gives it to you in any other situation, it&#8217;s not OK because he could have won it for you at a carnival game for a dollar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Fighting over you.<\/strong> Blame <em>Road House<\/em> or <em>This Means War <\/em>or <em>Love Fighters<\/em> for making men think it&#8217;s romantic as all hell to get in another fight with a guy over you and then get arrested for assault and do two years time. There&#8217;s nothing romantic about conjugal visits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Playing &#8220;Wonderwall.&#8221;<\/strong> If you are a woman and you&#8217;ve been single sometime between 1995 and now, someone has played you &#8220;Wonderwall&#8221; on their acoustic guitar in an attempt to get in your pants. And, unless that person was Noel Gallagher, it was probably terrible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Terrible home-cooked meals.<\/strong> Sure, putting in the effort and having a three-course home-cooked meal can be great, but no man should force anyone to choke down burnt chicken by candlelight. Nothing is romantic about spending a weekend with food poisoning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Public proposals.<\/strong> These can be romantic, but not if pressure and social situations give you anxiety. This isn&#8217;t a &#8220;tree falls in the woods&#8221; kind of case. Things can be romantic without a hundred people witnessing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Buying anything that requires some kind of serious commitment. <\/strong>You know what sounds romantic? A new car for Christmas. You know what isn&#8217;t romantic? Starting off the new year with crushing debt. Animals, houses, and anything that costs as much as a year&#8217;s worth of mortgage payments probably is not something he should be buying for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Scaring the crap out of you.<\/strong> There&#8217;s nothing cute about sneaking up behind you and scaring you while you&#8217;re making a salad. That&#8217;s how people get stabbed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Tickle fights.<\/strong> Tickle fights are lots of forced laughter and labored breathing and then someone gets reflexively punched in the eye.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Last-minute confessions of love. <\/strong>How many of your vacations have been ruined because someone thought it was a great time to pour their heart out to you and you awkwardly have to tell them you don&#8217;t feel the same way?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Cosmopolitan.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because you saw it in a movie once, it doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t weird in real life. 10 things guys do that girls don&#8217;t really find romantic. 1.
