Many years ago, a magnificent movie called “When Harry Met Sally” came out. In it, Billy Crystal expertly explains to Meg Ryan the difference between high maintenance and low maintenance girls. I won’t bore you with the details, but if you haven’t seen the movie, you should because it does a great job explaining the differences between men and women. Especially if you’re a high maintenance girl who thinks she is low maintenance. According to Billy, those are the worst kind.
How to determine how much maintenance a person takes has always been a topic of discussion. I recently saw a bit on the Today Show that talked about a new possible way to discover what you are getting yourself into . . . the coffee order. We’ve all been stuck behind the person who orders a venti triple soy extra hot sugar free vanilla latte mocha. I don’t even know if that is a real drink, but it sounds crazy and complicated, just like girls.
Supposedly, the more complicated the drink order, the more complicated the girl. One male dating expert on the segment encouraged girls to order their normal drink, because guys deserve to know how crazy you really are right from the start. I do know a lot of girls who order bizarre obscure drinks and are in fact, high maintenance. For many girls, this theory does hold true.
Unfortunately, this theory is also full of holes. The primary holes are the equally high maintenance girls who order black coffee or an Americano. I myself am an Americano with room girl and am high maintenance, even though I like to think I am low maintenance. Yup, the worst kind . . .
So although a girls coffee order can give you a clue into just how crazy or high maintenance she is, keep in mind that coffee does not tell you the whole story. Beware of the simply sounding “I’ll have an Americano with room please” girls. I have a feeling that those are the ones who really knock you for a loop.
