The typical girlfriend is and will always be the best. A mixture of good and bad. The one who is everything, being both the sister, the best friend and the girlfriend. And above all, she also becomes the wife, because trust her, she will get the ring. She won't even have to ask for it, it will come chasing her. If you are a girlfriend, then of course you want to get married someday, so if you must get the ring, then first, you must be the good bad girl. Not the bad bad girl, not the typical street girl, not the real church girl, but the good bad girl,the typical girlfriend.

Now, How To Be A Typical Girlfriend

1. Get Jealous. And show that you are jealous. Jealousy is an evidence of love. Not the crazy psycho "you stared at that girl for more than 2 seconds so I will burn all your certificates" kind of jealous, being jealous shouldn't make you do stupid things. But if you are jealous, you should be able to show it in a healthy and cute way. Like pouting or asking for ice cream or just coming out straight and telling him you are jealous.

2. Share his personal stuff with him - don't be scared to do this. His t-shirts are now yours too, so are his sneaks, boxers, expensive wristwatches and perfumes. If he has a car, life just got sweeter. But learn to respect his stuffs too, don't end up scratching the car, don't slim fit the tops, clean the shoes after using them and don't take the wristwatch and keep it at your place for eternity. When I first met babe, there was this pendant of his I really liked, I begged him seriously for it and he finally lent it to me. You could imagine his dismay and the horror he felt when he found out I was using his original gold neck chain pendant as a pendant in my house key holder.

3. Ask for money - but only when you need it. Your boyfriend is not your personal automated teller machine. If he spends on you, it should be his own idea (a real man that loves a lady will always be willing to spend on her) and not because you've been dropping hints to prompt him or out rightly been asking or even complaining about how he never spends. You shouldn't ask for money for your hair, clothes, snacks or whatever. Even wives don't do that to their husbands. The only time you ask for cash, is when you are really in a rut and you need the help. Borrowing is allowed though, but make sure to pay back, there's no excuse not to. If he refuses to take back the money, use it to prepare a nice dinner or get him a gift or something.

4. Be a slut - but only for your man. The days of wearing tight jeans and mini skirts to attract guys are over. If you must show your slutty side (remember you are a bad girl), then do it indoors and indoors only. Walk around the house with shorts and see through tops wearing nothing under. Seduction is allowed, but you should be seducing only your man.

5. Be a talkative - but only inside the house too. A typical girlfriend is her boyfriend's personal news directive, both wanted and unwanted news. Tell him everything, the latest in showbiz, a bit of politics, something in football (even though he knows it more than you do), the latest episode in your favorite Z world series (he will most likely start buzzing out your voice as from this point, while pretending to be listening). Tell him everything whether he agrees to listen or not, just keep talking. It's the fastest way to get the ring because whenever you are not around, he will miss your talking, especially when he is getting extremely bored to death.

6. Mark your territory! Don't go pissing around his house in the name of marking territory, or putting a "no females allowed inside" sign on his front door - that's just being psycho. Instead, subtly leave your stuffs at his place, things that will give people the correct impression that there's a lady in his life. Leave your favorite magazines on his sitting room table or shelf, change his kitchen to your tastes and always make sure there is cooked food at his place, keep a bit of your skin care stuff, pack of sanitary pads or makeup in his bathroom where others will see it. Gift him a bottle of your body spray, make him have a passport photograph of you in his wallet and go a step further, keep a small framed picture of you in his sitting room.

7. Be dominant - but not a pushover. You need 2 hours for your makeup, he's got to wait. He should be back in the house before 10pm and that's final. If you don't like him binging on alcohol, he shouldn't. If you don't want him sagging, he shouldn't. He should learn to pick up after himself, you are not his maid, so don't hesitate to let him know that. You don't want girls calling and texting him time after time, they should tell you their problems, they should go disturb Jesus Christ instead, he's single. Demand respect and a performance of responsibilities. Turn on your hard side and make him man up to the relationship.

8. Be submissive - but it doesn't mean you should let yourself be taken for granted. A man is the head of the home. He is the leader. He is responsible for the overall welfare and is accountible for the home. Remember, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Respect him. A typical girlfriend is respectful. Don't let feminism get into your head, cook, clean and wash. You are not just his girlfriend, you are his best friend and soul mate too, and that requires a level of submissivenes. Be ready to cover for his flaws, to stand with him through thick and thin. You should never make him feel less. My Papa has been without a job for almost two years now and Mama has been the one keeping the house financially, but never one day have I heard or seen her raise her shoulders or fail to give Papa his due respect. That is submissive nest. Be his confidant, guys need to be pampered, listened to and aided too. So don't always argue with his decisions, you should let him do his job, let him lead. There cannot be two captains in one ship.

9. Own yourself - please have your own source of income and livelihood. Get an education. Plan your life in accordance with his. A typical girlfriend plans her life. Don't sit around waiting for him to call the shots on your life all the time, be independent. Be an asset, not a liability. Don't turn yourself into his sex slave in order to please him, you don't have to settle for everything he dishes your way. If you don't like it, speak up and stand your ground. Own yourself.

10. Know his family - until he personally takes you to the home he grew in and introduces you to his family, my dear, your relationship is still child's play. The typical girlfriend is the girlfriend everybody knows and accepts, family, friends and nemesis alike. So no matter the love poems he recites for you and the diamond jewelry he spoils you with, my dear, make him take you to his family and officially acknowledge your relationship before them. This should happen within the third to sixth month in your relationship.

Well I'm posting in a forum where over 90% of the readers are Nigerian.

not just any Nigerian girlfriend dear, the girlfriend that will get proposed to.

What if after doing all these and he still cheats? Break his head shey? Nice write up tho

lmao. Thanks. If my boyfriend cheats on me, I'll sell his car and use the money to travel out of the country.

All these doesn't guarantee he'll propose, in fact, girls who don't break their heads over guys get the ring.

Keeping personal stuffs in a guy's house all in the name of "marking your territory" is wrong.

Lol badt gurl

The only valid and applicable point from your list is the Submission thingy.

Others are just there to make the post longer as usual

I've got an official hater. I feel proud.

No guy is going to propose to a girl who acts all indifferent.

Keeping my stuff in his house to mark my territory is typical, plus it's cute. If it's wrong or right is left to my boyfriend to decide and so far, I've not met any guy who's dating a girl he really and genuinely loves and has a problem with her keeping stuffs in his place. The point is to tell people there's a lady in the house now.

TheSlyone2:

What do I stand to gain by hating on you... Absolutely nothing.

I'm fond of making constructive criticism. I don't see how that in any way amount to hating on you.

See, Dear, you should be open to criticism expecially if it a constructive one. That will help to shape and broaden your scope

Okay o. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

You're not in the house until you're his wife.

He could simply put your stuffs on one end of his wardrobe when you've left, marking territory indeed!. Just be yourself.

Correct girl

11)
Share experiences together. That hobby you both like should be experienced as often as possible. I like traveling to new places, so, future bae should be ready to share a travel fund with me.

12) Always plan your time together. Make every moment count. Life is too short to be wasted.

9 made sense too.

This is actually a good writeup. I think you should create one for guys too lol.

If when a guy cheats of you after all these, Don’t worry. The point is you’ve done the right things. He will always remember. There are times you breakup with a girl & later start to regret cuz of how she impacted your life but shame will not allow u to go & beg her to come back.

TheSlyone2:

Yea benny..

But most of her points can't guarantee consistency in relationships talk more of marriage.

Any guy would freak out with such a gf.

Benita27:

if he does that, then he's not into you. Moral lesson, date the guy that's into you.

TheSlyone2:

her points are mainly valid with "friends with benefits" Strictly business kinda thing, no strings attached...

Most Nigerian gurls who are loose do that anyway

Exactly!.

Firstly: a girl isn't suppose to go see a guy's family when it has nothing to do with marriage, you'll end up meeting all the parents of your exes...all shade of wrong.

Secondly: you don't deliberately leave your wears or whatever in his house for any reason, go back home with your stuffs...it places some value on you that you don't know. if he wants to cheat, your wears won't stop him from doing so.

Thirdly: there's no point in being a talkative just to impress him, talk when you could and contribute to subjects you're interested in.

When a lady does these things just for a ring, she's "overcompensating" which isn't meant to be.

what exactly is your idea of a serious relationship?

Y typical? No one wants what everyone else is getting. B typical n just b d typical fuckmate, b ur unique self n b cherished. Ur choice.

stuffsabouttara:

How on earth will you know if he's into you or not, when the both of you are busy deceiving one another?.

Firstly, the point of going to see the parents is of course to tell them you plan on getting married.

Secondly, the leaving stuffs thing is not to stop him from cheating. Don't take it too seriously, it's the same reason you'll wear his tops, it's one of those things that happen when you are in a serious relationship, you'll always have a couple of your stuffs consuming space at his place.

Thirdly, when I say be a talkative, I don't mean talk 24/7. Just don't be a conceding girl. Talking is just one of those typical things.

Finally, Relationships work differently for different people. My list tagged typical. Maybe it comes off as being as too (I don't know the term to put here), but it's always worked for me. When you are dating someone who you really love and reciprocates your feelings, when you are dating someone you really know, when you are dating not just any guy, but a guy who is also your best friend and has seen you through your best and worst, the relationship comes off quite different I guess. You are already so used to his place it feels like your own house, he's your personal living diary so you can't help but keep piling him with details both necessary and unnecessary and he's just not going to let his friends know you guys are now an official couple, where you are both adults and qualified within your rights to start a family, you'll let your parents know too.

as much as we like to call ourselves unique and different and all, the brutal truth is we are still all the same. We all have two eyes and two ears. We are born, grow up and we all die. We have similar personalities, we have things in common with other people. You are not wholly different, you always share something with someone else, be it a name, your taste, house or even your look. Because a lot of people have the same thing doesn't mean it has lost it value.

it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for others.
