The dating scene has been.... exciting to say the most. I've met some great guys, funny, intelligent and all respectful- real gentlemen, thank God. About half of them went as far as the third date, while the other half never made it past the first.
It got me thinking the other day while I was reading an article on Yahoo about the things guys will say, and the truth behind those expressions. I figured I'd add my two cents in to contribute my own version of encrypted statements.
What I say: We really shouldn't
What I really mean: If I didn't stop drinking after one beer and I'm in your apartment, you can bet that I REALLY WANT TO, but I don't want to get burned like I did the last time around. I'm only sleeping with you if you're my boyfriend. SO at least pretend to give me that.
What I say: I just don't think we clicked
What I really mean: You aren't attractive enough for me to overlook that and be sold on your personality alone.
What I say: You really need to visit California/Vegas/any major place I've been
What I really mean: I'm hoping we can date long enough so that we can take this trip together.
What I say: I've had sex with 3 guys
What I really mean: I've had vaginal sex with 3 different guys. You'll figure out the rest in time when I'm more comfortable talking about it with you.
What I say: What's your longest relationship?
What I really mean: Are you more for long term or short term?
What I say: Are you and your ex on speaking terms?
What I really mean: How did your romance end? Will I consider her a threat in our relationship; Will she make appearances or be brought up a lot in conversations?
What I say: How are you with kids?
What I really mean: Can you get along with younger kids, prefereably my 10-year twin sisters so one day we can all go out together.
What I say: Heeeey, haven't heard from you in a while.
What I really mean: Where the @$%& have you been and why haven't you called until now?!
What I say: So what's a regular week like for you?
What I really mean: I want to know your schedule so I can tell if you're avoiding me when you don't call because you're "busy" all of a sudden after the first date
What I say: I had a great time. We should do this again sometime.
What I really mean: Call me tomorrow
What I say: Well, thank you for dinner/coffee. It was nice meeting you.
What I really mean: Yeah, this isn't going to work out.
What I say: Oh my God you're huge.
What I really mean: OMFG you're HUGE.:)
Numbers...a man once told me most men don't want to know how many men a woman has slept with...but we're always sharing that information. I say unless he specifically asks, don't tell him. Of course, you have a number to be proud of, but he doesn't need details about the other stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteA commonly used one on my part:
What I say: Oh hah sorry my phone was on silent/I was busy
What I really mean: I restrained myself from texting you back for a couple hours in an attempt to look cool and to think of something witty to say.
Keep up the blog, will definitely be visiting it often :o)
