You know 25, when we try not to be in control, and we ask our significant other things like....
1. Where do you want to go for dinner? 2. What movie would you like to see? 3. What would you like to do this weekend? 4. What should we get mom for xmas? 5. Are you ready to go.
We get the typical response of.......
1. I don't know, what do you want to eat? 2. I don't care, whatever you want to see. 3. What did you have in mind? 4. She's your mom, what would she like? 5. Do these pants look good on me?
So for us, many times it is much safer to be alpha males and say the following instead......
1. I made reservations at Macaroni grill for us tonight at 7. 2. I want to see "the Yes man" and it is playing at 7 so we need to leave by 6:15. 3. I made hotel reservations in Nashville this weekend, got us tickets to a show Saturday night and tickets to the Titans game on Sunday.... go pack. 4. I got mom a day at the spa for xmas, she needs a relaxing day. 5. I will be out front in the car in 5 minutes, I will leave in 10 minutes.....
It's not so much about being bossy as it is about avoiding the dilemma that is trying to figure out what not to ask a woman....
