My Christmas Gift to Women

Why do men make great politicians? Because you can ask us a question and we can talk for five minutes without answering it.

Ladies, when it comes to a man, be direct and ask multiple questions, if you have to do so, if you're considering "the next level".

If he's asked by other women if he has a girlfriend, he'll say "no" because you're not his girlfriend in his eyes.

Why? Because you never said you were his girlfriend. You just thought that because you two hung out now and then that it was assumed, huh? It doesn't work like that. When you start to think this guy may be a long-term thing, ask him, "Are we exclusive?"

Use that phrase and get a definitive answer. At that point, there's no ducking or dodging. It's a "yes" or "no" question to where you stand. If the answer isn't "yes", then any other response is "no".

Either way, you're throwing a monkey wrench in his game because he won't be able to talk around that question. :)

But, don't cheat yourself. Ask multiple questions and find out what the guy is about sooner rather than later. Ask a few subtle questions about his ex and make sure she's not lurking around and waiting to give him another try.

Be honest with yourself. 7 out of 10 of you hear things you know are conducive to a bad relationship, but you choose to ignore it because you want to make it work. In the words of Chad Ochocinco, "Child, please!"

A few common sense tips to get you ladies back on the right path to a healthy relationship.

Merry Christmas, ladies.
