1. Change Your Relationship Status on FB

Change Your Relationship Status on FB Most people will Facebook stalk the guy they like, so if any girls have a crush on your man, make sure he's listed as your boyfriend on social media so they know to keep their hands off.

2. Post Couple Pictures on Social Media

Post Couple Pictures on Social Media Make it clear that you and your boyfriend are together by posting adorable photos of the two of you together. Don't go overboard. Just post a picture every once in a while.

***

By sprinkling your social media feeds with sweet snapshots, you send a subtle reminder to the world about your strong bond. Choose moments that speak volumes about your connection — cuddly selfies, romantic date nights, or playful adventures — all showing just how integrated your lives are. It's about quality, not quantity; let the authenticity of your relationship shine through without flooding timelines. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, and those words should softly whisper, "He's taken."

3. Stay by His Side at Parties

Stay by His Side at Parties If there are single women trying to hit on your man during a party, stay by his side long enough to let them know he's taken. Then you can walk away and mingle.

***

It's not just about hovering; it's about making your presence felt with grace and confidence. A subtle touch on the arm or a knowing smile shared with your partner projects a united front. Remember, there's strength in subtlety. Over-marking your territory can come off as insecure, and that's not the message you want to send. So after setting the scene, feel free to gracefully flit away and enjoy the party, secure in the bond you share. Your relationship is a partnership, not a possession, and that elegant balance is the best deterrent there is.

4. Kiss Him in Public

Kiss Him in Public If you see a woman eyeing your man, all you have to do is lean in and give him a quick kiss. It'll make it clear he's with you.

***

Even a subtle touch when others are around can send a powerful message. Casually draping your arm around his shoulders or interlocking fingers as you walk through a crowd displays your connection for all to see. It's not about staking a claim with grand gestures, but rather the unspoken intimacy of those small acts that signal to others he's taken. These gestures can be both a tender demonstration of your affection and a gentle reminder that your relationship is a united front.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Exchange Promise Rings

Exchange Promise Rings Some men hate jewelry, but you might be able to convince your man to wear a promise ring. It'll work just like a wedding ring and ward other women away.

***

Promise rings are a great way to show your commitment to each other and to ward off any potential romantic advances from other women. A promise ring is a symbol of love and commitment, much like a wedding ring, and is typically exchanged between two people who are in a serious relationship. It is usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

Promise rings can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. They can be made of gold, silver, or other precious metals, and may be adorned with diamonds, gemstones, or other decorations. The style of the ring is entirely up to the couple, and can be chosen to reflect their own unique personalities and tastes.

Promise rings are also known as pre-engagement rings, as they are often exchanged before a couple becomes engaged. This is a way for them to show the world that they are in a committed relationship and not available to date anyone else. It is also a way for them to take the next step in their relationship without going straight to marriage.

6. Leave Items at His House

7. Change the Background Pic on His Phone

Change the Background Pic on His Phone If he gives you permission to set the background of his phone, change it to a picture of yourself. That way, any woman who sees him check his phone will see your face.

8. Speak up if a Lady Crosses the Line

Speak up if a Lady Crosses the Line If a woman says something inappropriate to your boyfriend, don't be afraid to speak your mind. Let her know she crossed the line.

***

It's not uncommon for women to be attracted to someone else's man. Whether it's a colleague, a friend, or even a stranger, it's important to remember that it's not okay for someone to come between a couple. If a woman crosses the line and says something inappropriate to your boyfriend, it's important to speak up.

Letting her know that her behavior is not acceptable is an important step in protecting your relationship. If the situation escalates, it's important to be firm and clear that her behavior is unacceptable.

It's also important to make sure that your partner is aware of the situation. Let him know what happened and how you handled it. This will help him understand that you are serious about protecting your relationship.

It's also important to talk to your partner about boundaries. Make sure that you both understand what is and isn't acceptable behavior. This will help you both protect your relationship and keep it healthy.

9. Call Him Your Bf in Front of Others

Call Him Your Bf in Front of Others When you introduce your man, make sure you call him your boyfriend, so everyone realizes you're together from the get go.

10. Ask Him to Hold Your Bag

Ask Him to Hold Your Bag If a man is holding a woman's bag, you know he's in a relationship. No one will go near him.

11. Wear His Jacket

Wear His Jacket If you're feeling cold, ask him if you can borrow his jacket. Then everyone will realize you're an item.

12. Give Girls "the Look"

Give Girls "the Look" If a woman acts a little too friendly with your man, all you have to do is give her "the look." She'll get the point.

***

Having a woman try to encroach on your territory can be a difficult and uncomfortable situation. It's important to make sure that your man is aware of your boundaries and that other women know that he is taken. One way to make sure that other women know that your man is off limits is to give them "the look."

The look is a simple, yet powerful communication tool. It's a visual cue that conveys a message of disapproval and discouragement. It's a subtle way to let another woman know that she should back off and that she is not welcome in your territory. The look is best used when the woman in question is acting a bit too friendly with your man and it's a great way to let her know that you are not pleased.

When giving the look, it is important to maintain eye contact and to remain composed. It's important to keep your emotions in check and to remain calm. It's also important to not be overly aggressive or hostile. The look should be firm and direct, but not intimidating.

13. Wear Matching Clothes

Wear Matching Clothes This one is a little silly, but some couples won't mind walking around in matching sweaters.

14. Sit Close to Him

Sit Close to Him When you're out with your man, you don't have to sit on his lap. Just sit close enough to make it clear that you're together.

***

Physical proximity can be a potent unspoken message that signals to others the intimacy and connection you share. Lean into his space occasionally, showing comfort and affection with your proximity. When you're close, subtle touches or playful nudges not only reinforce your bond but also exhibit a level of familiarity and exclusivity to those around you. This isn't about being territorial in an aggressive way; it's about highlighting the closeness of your relationship through natural, loving gestures that simply say, he's with me.

15. Hold Hands

Hold Hands If you're afraid to engage in too much PDA, you two can simply hold hands. It's a small gesture that makes a big statement.

16. Order His Food

Order His Food If you want the waitress to stop making eyes at your man, order his food for him. You already know what he wants, anyway.

17. Trust Him

Trust Him You aren't always going to be by your partner's side. That's why, at the end of the day, you just have to learn to trust him.

You should believe that your man would never cheat on you. Of course, these tactics will come in handy when another girl just doesn't know her place. Has another woman ever tried to steal your man away?

***

Trust is essential in any relationship, and it’s especially important when it comes to keeping your man away from other women. If you trust him, he’ll be less likely to stray and more likely to respect the boundaries you’ve set.

When it comes to making sure other women stay away from your man, it’s important to be proactive. Make sure he knows that you’re the only one for him and that you’re committed to the relationship. Show him affection in public and let other people know that you’re a couple.

Be confident in yourself and your relationship. If you’re confident in yourself and in the relationship, you’ll be less likely to be threatened by other women. You can also make sure to communicate your feelings to your man and let him know that you don’t want him talking to other women.

Well if all her posts are jokes then sure now I get it. But still, it's not that obvious her articles are a joke

How about I give my whole life up & dedicate it to guarding him? Like this is written for fun, right? It MUST BE for laughs!

@ZeldaMDesigns lolzzz👌

I agree that it might be over the top but I feel like these are only things you do when you are really in love not to ‘mark your territory’ I feel like I love to show my man I’m all over him and he literally brags about it; this is about us not anyone else

April Fools....but, uh, it's October...having read many of Holly's posts on aws, I have to believe this is meant to be satirical so that she can make point #17, which is the only one that makes sense! Would you seriously go to dinner with a guy and allow him to order for you? Would you even consider for a moment saying "he'll have the Cobb salad and an ice tea unsweetened, thank you"?

Immature and pathetic

Men sort of invite that kind of attention, when your with someone you love and trust and its mutual your body language and energy are enough to keep other women away...now if your constantly having the problems listed its time to evaluate your relationship

You'd have to be very insecure to do these things... The last time I saw someone act like this because of their guy I was in 8th grade... At most I'd order my guy a drink since he is fairly consistent but only if he was not currently at the table, otherwise it's very pushy and frankly odd behavior.

This is a sarcastic article. Except for the last point. It’s good to trust your man but again be prepared mentally, physically and financially if he turns out to be non trustworthy afterall.

Promise rings? Lol those things are silly. Actually, this article is kinda silly
