Quick Fix: Problems and solutions to being a lame girlfriend

1) Ask bf what his favourite cookies are and offer to send him some. *Don't* actually send them.

Quick Fix:
Say you didn't want to send the cookies because they wouldn't be as fresh.

2) Forget hinting, tell him you want flowers. Suggest that the next day is a good time to send them.

Quick Fix:
Giggle really cute and hope it negates your faux pas while simultaneously seeming like a great idea.

3) Pee while talking on the phone to him, but don't mute it like you do for everyone else.

Quick Fix:
Whoops, I guess this just means he's closer to you than most people :) He must be extra special.

4) Tell him you can get over the height thing, but ask if he wouldn't mind getting shoes with a thicker sole. (This is a fantastic form of emasculation!)

Quick Fix:
Buy really cute flat shoes. This doesn't really fix much, but you have an excuse to go shoe shopping!

5) When on the phone with him before bed, doze off while he's talking to you.

Quick Fix:
If you wake up and he hasn't noticed, just say, "Yeah totally." If he did notice you fell asleep on him, say his voice soothes you and he makes you feel comfortable. Better yet, use the word "safe", guys like to make their woman feel "safe."

6) Toward the end of January, realize you never did get around to sending his Christmas gift. This is even more effective if you didn't finish making it.

Quick Fix:
Say you're taking your time because you want the gift to be perfect. Additionally, suggest you give him the gift in person because it is more meaningful.
