How To Survive Shopping With Your Boyfriend

Whatever he says, he really does not want to go shopping with you.
To men, shopping is about agonising levels of choice in an uncomfortable environment.
'Browsing' does not fit well with the go-getting, goal oriented male way of doing things.
If a man is waiting outside a ladies' changing room, he may as well have a sign saying 'Loser' around his neck.

Step 1: Your options

If you are feeling kind, release him from his shopping duties with no strings attached. However much he pretends he wants to come, refuse. And love him a little bit more, for saying he would do that for you.

If you are feeling cruel, dangle the threat of a shopping trip over him like a sword of Damocles, so that even the most tiresome of chores become appealing.

Step 2: Have mercy

In familiar territory he's a charismatic, in control specimen of a man, but take him shopping and he regresses to early childhood.

So remember, don't let him out of your sight, don't ask him complicated questions, keep it as brief as possible, take lots of distractions, ignore his tantrums, and reward his good behaviour.
