Women may enjoy dating, but what do men think about it? Is it, "It's always nice to go out with my girlfriend, no matter where we go," or "I wish this could go on forever"? Actually, it's not always like that. The Japanese website howcollect has compiled some of the truths men would never dare to say on a date, and you might be surprised when you read them.

1. "Shopping is so boring."

"Actually, shopping with my girlfriend is really boring. I should be the one making the decisions, and it doesn't matter what she wears, so it's really annoying when she drags me along to buy clothes. Guys don't really like spending a lot of time choosing things, and women's aimless shopping is also quite irritating. It would be great if my girlfriend could decide what she wanted to buy first and then head straight to the destination."

Most men don't go shopping with their girlfriends happily; they only go because they can't refuse. Therefore, don't use excuses like "I'll pick out clothes for you too, so come shopping with me!" to drag your poor boyfriend out.

2. "How should we make out to each other tonight?"

"During a date, it's inevitable to think about sex. Whether we're shopping, eating, or having fun, my mind is always on that kind of thing. Dating isn't supposed to be very fun anyway, so it's best to just be intimate and not date. But if I do that, I'll be letting my girlfriend down."

While not all men are this extreme, it's safe to say that men will get excited about sex during a date. This is especially true for younger men.

3. "Why are we going to a coffee shop again?"

"It's so annoying that I have to go to my girlfriend's 'go-to' coffee shop every time we go on a date. Not only is it expensive, but the food is also hard to fill you up. The chairs are stylish, but they're not comfortable to sit in, and the decor is so avant-garde that it's hard to calm down."

Many men complain about not liking coffee shops for various reasons, preferring to eat at pubs or fast food restaurants, or even better, affordable family restaurants.

4. "My girlfriend is on her period today, so there's no point in going on a date."

"If I find out before a date that my girlfriend can't be intimate during her period, I'll feel really down. It would be best to cancel the date immediately."

Actually, there are men who will cancel dates with their girlfriends knowing they're menstruating. Some men's libido is truly astonishing.

5. "I took too many photos."

"My girlfriend takes pictures of everything, whether she's eating or looking at the night view. She takes so many pictures. I guess she doesn't care about anything else except taking pictures and uploading them to websites."

Women should absolutely be forbidden from taking too many photos on a date. It's okay if it's just a photo of the two of you together, but if one of you is engrossed in taking pictures of other things or selfies, your boyfriend will inevitably feel abandoned.
