Couples are able to share everything/anything with each other. You can tell each other about your day, and your feelings towards your boss and coworkers and grow closer everyday. Lying is very much frowned upon while in a relationship, but there are some things guys should never, ever divulge to their loved ones. You can call it lying, but I will call it; Surviving.

Your ExEven if she asks, I think it's a safe bet to say that your girl does NOT want to hear about the record breaking 2-hour love session you've had with Cindy back in college. Do yourself a favor and keep that information in the vault.

Time spent playing video gamesIf you're a video game enthusiast like myself, you probably don't want to divulge the true amount of time you spend honing your craft. Even if you've recently beat Mario on your head while reciting the alphabet backwards in 10minutes flat- which is probably the most amazing thing ever!- keep it to your self, or open up to your guy friends or on a forum; girls do NOT want to hear about you spending half your day playing a game.

Watching pornographyI'm sure you've lied about this so many times that you actually believe it; "nooo I don't watch porn, that's so immature." Face it, you know you do, and everyone knows you do... except for your girlfriend. I mean, you can/should tell her you watch it occasionally, maybe like once a week, or once every two weeks. Who knows? Maybe she'll watch it with you, and you'll enter a new sexual lifestyle with your girl, but don't ever tell her the truth about your relationship with pornography.

Your FinancesIt's perfectly fine for your girlfriend to see your checking balance every once in a while, but don't ever show her where your money goes. Let's face it guys, we do tend to spend a good chunk of our paychecks on random things. I am a nerd. I like to spend my money on computer parts, and upgrade my computer so I can play the latest games. You may spend $500 on a baseball card, and that's fine, but if she found out that you're spending money on a baseball card...? Oof, you've got some explaining to do...

The MemoriesIt's not easy to get over an ex, no matter how terrible the relationship might have been, you just can't forget about a person you spent a majority of your time with; especially if the relationship happened to last for up to years. However, you should probably hide your feelings/memories of your ex in a dark cave and never look back at it, especially in front of your present lover. Bringing up a memory you have of an ex, is like lighting a firecracker in your hand and putting it right by your ear. This may sound like a very obviously thing, but just keep it in mind, and keep yourself in check to NEVER do this.

While these top 5 topics to avoid may be relevant, I would advise any man to avoid the subject of your personal perceptions of sex, including what you find attractive or unattractive in other women to be Number One on my list.
Women do not need to know how it feels to you, in particular, to sample every chocolate in the box. Details to a woman get analyzed to the Nth degree, exaggerating the tiniest details until they begin to have nightmares.
Discussions about previous relationships are not taboo. However, you must remember that--in general--people are not perfect. No one wants to be remembered for their faults and shortcomings. If you discuss another's faults, your girlfriend will rightfully wonder if you are doing the same thing, telling others about intimate details that she considers to be private.
It is perfectly natural for your girlfriend to ask about the type of qualities you admired in previous girlfriends, as in intangibles, such as kindness, compassion, empathy and so forth. It's the skeletons in the closet you need to avoid discussing--at least until she knows you well. Then, be cautious about the subject matter; so that whatever story you decide to share will not "freak her out."
In addition, women tend to ramble when talking on the phone; so that their smallest flaws are aired without her taking the time to think about how her gushing may sound to you. Do not obsess over the small stuff. Privately, she may feel fat in her stomach,but do not make the mistake of calling it a "third boob" or make any other inappropriate remark. I can guarantee she will never forget it.
Lastly, put yourself in her place and think how you would feel to be put under the microscope. Your finances are your business. However, if you are in a serious relationship, finances are the responsibility of BOTH people.
Once you reach the serious stage, you will have learned from your mistakes. If you do not learn, you will not have a girlfriend for very long.
