Crib these clever tips and you'll be the only chick he's checking out
• When you're out with your man, it's understandably annoying to catch him eyeing other girls. Look, it's no excuse, but the truth is that ogling is just part of our hardwiring, so ingrained in our DNA, we often don't even realize we're doing it. To make matters worse, we're also easily distracted. Still, there are ways to curb his wandering-eye habit. Some suggestions…
Don't Drone
We know you want to tell us every last detail about your day all at once. But your one-sided deluge will have him looking for something, anything else to occupy his mind, The solution: Engage him in conversation on his favorite subjects — sports, travel, and him. "I was on a blind date at this bar that was packed with beautiful people," recalls Aaron[*], 30. "Normally, I'd have been checking out the scene, but my date was asking me all these thoughtful questions about my life and job, and the surrounding crowd faded."

"I've been in a relationship for a while, so sometimes I check out women and think about what they'd be like in bed," says John, 21. "If my girlfriend wants me to daydream about sex with her, she has to toy with me a little bit. "So when you're out with your man, stroke your collarbone or let your fingertips wander up his thigh under the table. Bet the fantasy woman he spots on the street wouldn't do that!

If you want to keep his tongue-wagging in check, keep your cool — otherwise, you'll just be encouraging him. As Eric, 28, recalls, "My ex would catch me looking at a girl and start asking if I thought she was cuter or had a better body. It made me feel good that she got so freaked, so I'd do it even more, just to get a reaction."
Do Your Own Ogling
If all else fails, give him a taste of his own medicine. When you start eyeing the bartender right in front of him, he'll feel threatened (in a good way). "I've always had a serious wandering-eye problem," says Sean, 27. "My girlfriend noticed my bad habit early on and apparently started making eyes at other men to show me what it felt like. I hated it, so I'd kiss her all of a sudden or act like a jackass — anything to get her attention."
