One of the worst things that could happen to you (guys) is when you are with your girlfriend shopping and suddenly, she sees shoes and wants to check them out. You say to yourself, alright, we’ll check out a few pairs of shoes, no big deal. Then out of the corner of her eye, she sees another pair she likes. Now she’s in shoe shopping mood and there is nothing you can do about it. Or is there? We’ve got a few tricks that might just get you home in time for the game!
How to Prevent Your Girlfriend from Shoe Shopping
- When you pass by a shoe store, hug/kiss/distract her - Grab her, give her a kiss, tell something to her, do anything to get her attention away from that shop. Have some lines ready, because if you pass multiple shops, your girlfriends starts to question you when you are kissing her all the time. Some lines: (Point at other store) “Since when is that store there?” “What do you want to eat today?” “I love that birthmark in your neck.” Anything will do, really.
- Only go shopping when you are really busy - In that way, you can just say: ‘Sorry, no time to shop for shoes, we need to get a gift!’ and nothing she can do about it.
- Set a store limit. Remind her of the last time you went shopping and the same thing happened. Say: ‘Ok, you can check out 3 stores, but 3 stores only, I don’t want to have the same thing happening like last time.’ She will understand (or call you a jerk… either way though things will be faster).
- Make her feel like she isn’t in a shopping mood - Hard to do, but highly effective. “You don’t seem to be finding anything today, do you?” “Maybe you should wait until for a sale.” Those two are effective, she will stop shopping and you don’t have to endure the torture!
- Go with her. If you love her, laugh about it. Enjoy the shopping, enjoy running around to just look for boots. Give her advice, make sure she buys nice shoes. It isn’t that bad at all, you are with the girl you love, isn’t should be enough?
Of course, the last one is the hardest one . But if you go with her now, she’ll probably take you every time. Test these methods are your own risk. They are proven to work when tested by professionals, so make sure you know what you’re doing. Also, should you decide to go with the last method, realize that this will most likely set the tone for the rest of the relationship, so prepare yourself mentally. If you love her, she’ll be worth it. Otherwise, it may be time to tuck and run…
