It’s not just that you don’t want someone hanging all over you. It’s that you want someone who is socially comfortable, adaptable to new situations, and has a personality that lends to making friends easily. This will also make you look very good.

Druckman is Druckman to everyone, but using the name Jamal in reference to Pete should be cleared by the boys of Alpha Theta Ward. Read: cares enough to know, but knows enough to understand your territory and hers. Fine line, but one that, when crossed, will rub the entire friend group the wrong way.

Self-deprecation should be reserved for poignant, well-timed humor and, when themed around how a girl feels about her body, her girlfriends. We all have fat days and ugly days – only the strongest among us don’t whine about them to elicit response compliments. You’re not after a girl who never has a bad body day. You’re after a girl who doesn’t constantly put you in the very awkward position of having to say, “aww, you don’t look fat today, or any day, ever.”

This one’s two-fold. Shows she can respect you and the situation (you’re celebrating for a friend — all your friends are in your living room) – and has advanced enough fighting skills to know that no good can come from addressing it in that moment. She can be forgiven if she is excessively drunk – we’ve all been there. But pouting in a corner does not count as “not bringing it up”.

In more specific words, she does not stalker call you until you pick up. Sure if she doesn’t hear from you for hours and hours she can give it another attempt, but if you’re not available at 10:00 you’re probably still not available at 10:01. Also when you say, “I have to go right now,” she understands it means you’ll still be doing whatever made you have to go five minutes later. This needs no further explanation.

Girls are notorious for bad-mouthing friends behind their backs. But there’s a difference between sometimes judgmental and always two-faced. Watch out for those. They might secretly hate you too.

Obviously within reason. Should I go to Law School? probably necessitates and chat with Mom and Dad. But, whether or not to get a haircut this Saturday could likely be handled independently.

Passive aggressiveness and sex go together like Britney and her kids. She should be able to address it when it’s happening and talk about it if there’s a problem without an insulting, non-direct tone.

Tina Turner is a very sexy woman. She is also an excellent dancer with a healthy body and strong, optimistic outlook on life. A girl who loves Tina Turner is surely great in bed, takes care of her body, is driven to succeed, and can dance. Frankly, you can disregard the rest of the list. This says it all.
