Any guy who has ever been in a relationship knows that women can ask some pretty tricky questions and expect some very specific answers. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid her asking these types of questions, but, there are ways that you can answer them in a way that will diffuse the bomb before it goes off.
Your girlfriend catches you glancing at a hot girl and asks if you think that the other woman attractive. While you instincts may want you to just say yes--just say no. Your best bet is to either turn the tables on her and ask if she thinks the other woman is attractive. Women love to be haters because it makes them feel better about themselves, so make a joke about the other woman's clothes or hair to put her mind at ease. If she asks if you find the other woman more attractive than her, tell her that no one can compare to her and that she is the most gorgeous woman in the world (even if it is a lie).
When it comes to your previous relationships, it is pretty common that she asks why they didn't work. This questions is a double edged sword, because you run the risk of badmouthing your ex, which your current girlfriend may find offensive, or you end up looking as if you just can't seem to make a relationship work. Tell her that it just didn't work out, that the two of you had different interests, or that you knew someone better, namely her, would one day come along and you wanted to be ready.
Should she ask if what she's wearing makes her look fat, even if you think that she looks like Shamu, do not say so. You can tell her she looks great, but then she might run the risk of being harpooned while you're out. Or, a nice way of getting her to change into something more flattering is to suggest that she wear your favorite outfit, even if you don't actually have a fave.
The all-time biggest threat of a question is when she asks where the relationship is heading. If you know exactly what you want, and it includes her, by all means, tell her so. But, if you aren't quite sure yet if she's the one, you have to steer her away from the conversation. Instead of answering directly, tell her what you want in the future, just leave out the part about her being in it. She'll assume that you're talking about including her and will be pacified for at least another week.
