By threatening to call his mother, that always gets him quaking in his boots.
You don’t control your bloke, it’s up to him what he does.
Easy, tell him to sort his act out or it’ll be a one way ticket to dumpsville for him.
By sitting down and having a chat and getting everything out in the open.

You wait for him to take it, the guy always pays on the first date
You reach but relent after he insists but only when he promises you can pay for drinks at the bar
After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing you let him pay on the premise that it’s your treat next time
You pay, you’re an independent woman with your own money and he needs to know the boundaries from the very beginning

You willingly agree, it doesn’t matter as long as you still get to see him
Argue with him and refuse to accept the changes until he relents to the original plans, who the hell does he think he is?
You sound unsure and call him back later agreeing. You don’t want to seem too available
Throw a hissy fit and change the plans again to suit you. He can’t just control your social plans like that!

Answer and put him in his place. It’s after 11, he should’ve been home hours ago!
You don’t bother answering, it’s late and you can’t be bothered with his drunken gibberish
Chat away till the small hours, you love it when he’s had a few, he’s so romantic

You just get the essentials before treating him to lunch for putting up with your shoe addiction
The phrase ‘shop till you drop’ was invented for you, there’ll be no stopping until you’ve covered every store within a four mile radius
You nip into all your favourite shops until he starts looking really bored then allow him to escape to meet the boys
After you’ve fulfilled your own shopping habit it’s time to start on him, you’ve seen him in those faded jeans one too many times and as for those trainers…
