| You know the scenario. You’ve gone
out with a guy a few times and he says he’ll call you (but
doesn’t say when). You spend three days waiting and still no
call. Three days after that, you give up… but you can’t help but
wondering: why did he say he’d call? Here are a few consensus
views of the things men say and what they actually mean by them!
For the single gals:
He says:
I think you’re a great person.
Translation:
I’m not really interested in you romantically.
He says:
Nothing about seeing you again.
Translation:
He’s not planning on it.
If you’ve just started dating:
He says:
We're dating.
Translation:
We hook up, but we’re not an exclusive item.
He says:
| • |
This is the third
Friday we’ve gone out, huh? |
| • |
God, it’s hot
outside. |
| • |
Do you have to be in the office
by nine tomorrow? |
| • |
You think it's true
what they say about oysters/champagne/insert rumored
aphrodisiac here? |
Translation:
I think we should have sex.
If it’s been a while and you’re getting
serious:
He says:
“Girlfriend,” affectionately in public and he's not watching
an In Living Color re-run or making fun of Oprah Winfrey.
Translation:
His friends aren't allowed to come on to you and that guy in
your office better back off too! You’re his (and he’s yours,
too).
He says:
Nothing's wrong. I'm fine.
Translation:
I know you’re interested in elaborating on my emotional center
with regard to my co-workers and boss and Starbucks barista, but
I’m done for the day and all I want is to drink a six pack, eat
a bag of Doritos and vegetate.
OR: Nothing’s wrong. He’s fine.
