"of course" "that's what friends do" he's gonna pay

What to do if a guy asks you out for coffee?

If a guy asks you out to coffee, this is the pre-screening process to see if you are even first date material. Don't count the coffee date as an actual first date but as an audition to a first date. Don't be offended if he asks you this because these are actually good opportunities. For coffee dates, you can actually have a real conversation and get to know the guy. At bars or clubs, you will always be bombarded by noise and plus you don't know if he just looking to hook up that night. After a coffee date, wait until he asks you out to dinner or something better. If he does, then this is guy code for "you have passed the coffee test." Just remember that a guy asking you out to coffee means something casual but could be a stepping stone.

What does it mean when a guy says "I'm sorry"?

There are genuine apologies and then there are fake apologies. An "I'm sorry " could mean that this is guy code for saying "sorry, not sorry" or it could really just mean that he is sorry. Assuming that it's the latter, what he is saying is that "I'm sorry that you got mad but I'm not really sorry for what I did." Sometimes guys will just apologize just to get you to shut up and then revert to their old ways once the waters have settled. This is another classic scenario where you have to watch his actions and not his words. If he really is contrite, he will alter certain behaviors to make the relationship work. If he doesn't, then he was just saying "I'm sorry" as a way to get you off of his back.

Do Mama's boys make good boyfriends?

Mama's boys don't make the greatest boyfriends. Yes, we want our boyfriend to like his mom. It's better for everyone if she's super cool and sweet if they get along. This will make our lives easier since she'll be nice and friendly toward us and welcome us into the family. And no one wants family drama or arguments at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so yeah, we definitely hope that he's got a good mom.
