How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days is officially twenty years old this year, making it older than social media – gasp! How ever did Andie survive? Well, very obnoxiously, with Ben anyways. While Ben tries to charm Andie with a fancy dinner and a trip to Staten Island to play cards with his family, Andie makes an effort to irritate him with absurdity after absurdity. Ok, IRL does anyone photoshop an album of what their children would look like, after the first date, or really ever?
How about the love fern? Maybe couples counseling in the first week is more your style? How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days certainly wasn’t a practical guide to love, but it had our attention and kept us laughing time and time again. It’s no wonder it’s such an unforgettable rom-com. Now, twenty years later, relationships don’t work the same way. I am sure Andie could still run off a guy with her antics, but realistically, how would you lose a guy in 10 days, in 2023? Keep reading to find out a couple different ways we came up with.
This can be compared to when Andie (Kate Hudson) moves her things into Ben’s (Matthew McConaughey) apartment. Let’s be honest, at any point this is creepy. Most married couples aren’t even on this level. We are talking about the person that goes back a few years and is liking posts. Yea, no. It’s often thought that if someone likes all your content, they are trying to get your attention and they might like you. Maybe so, at first.
There comes a point when it’s just clingy and stalker like. Again, dating is a lot different now than it was in 2003, social media can have a big impact on relationships and tell you a lot about a person before really getting to know a person. If you’re going to be perusing their posts from months or even years ago, make sure you don’t like or comment. This goes hand in hand with keeping track of what they like on social media. “I saw you liked that picture of so and so” in an accusatory tone. Nope. Basically any sketchy social media activity in the first 10 days is a good way to lose the guy.
Hopefully this doesn’t sound like you. Friending a partner’s parents is a big deal in the social media world. It’s right up there with meeting them for the first time. Listen sometimes older adults have more time to discreetly browse Facebook. Are you ready for them to browse back to the first posts and images you posted years ago? Probably not, just as they don’t want some random person their child hasn’t even told them about yet on their profile. Now, if things progress, that might be something for the future, but within 10 days? You’ll likely lose the guy.
