Anyone who doesn’t live under a rock knows that girls can get a little crazy when it comes to boys and their future with them, especially when a bit of alcohol is involved.

I have heard multiple people wonder aloud about why girls act so crazy and irrationally. The truth is girls are actually very logical, they just sometimes tend to go a bit overboard. Sometimes girls are too logical for their own good, which leads to a slippery slope of over-thinking and jumping to conclusions.

Girls are planners, plain and simple. Whether it is from planning their future weddings on Pinterest or figuring out how they can coordinate the gym, tanning, laundry and school all in the same day, girls tend to think ahead. This thinking ahead thing can get girls all worked up and into quite a bit of trouble. They start thinking about the future they have with this boy. Will my family like him? Would he make a good dad? I realize that girls are getting way ahead of themselves, but it is actually pretty logical when you think about it.

Women hate to waste time unless it is in a mall shopping for shoes or the bathroom getting ready. What I mean when I say is that girls think about the future because they don’t want to waste time on something that isn’t going to work out long term. Regardless of how long they know a person, they can’t help but think somewhere deep down “Will we still be together and happy five years from now?”

From that standpoint it doesn’t seem so irrational and creepy anymore, does it? Girls know that they get ahead of themselves a bit, and they try and work on that so cut them some slack. They realize that they need to just relax and go with the flow more often, but would you really want to go with the flow when something as fragile as your heart is on the line? Nope, didn’t think so. You want to protect yourself, and girls do that by planning ahead and over-thinking – what we call analyzing – the situation.

My parting piece of advice is to not let your boyfriend’s mother see your Pinterest wedding board.
