i'll interpret the "nothing" thing for you.

you: what's wrong?

her: nothing.

what she means: i could tell you, but then you'd probably act like an idiot and make me regret even saying anything. plus you probably wouldn't even listen, much less care, so what's the point?

him: duh duh duh gskorp duh duh duh.

lol those interpretations couldn't be any more off the mark.

First of you don't know that unless you already assume your boyfriend is an idiot and two...you only proved the point that they say things they don't mean sometimes.

I can't be the only person here who enjoyed reading this can I? There is a lot of truth to this. Supported to me by observation. I don't think all guys who take girls out to lunch are idiots though, I would do it once or twice...and if there is no progress I am out.

I confess I stopped reading GS posts entirely several pages back. I'll take a look b/c you think there's something of substance there.

I'm curious to hear guys opinions as to why females answer like this^. This seems like a circular, degenerating situation to answer like this.

For the ladies: just say what you feel. Or say "I don't know yet, but I'm thinking about it."

[vashti]

I think males and females equally tend to give answers like that. ^

I don't ask, "What's wrong?" any longer.

If I sense something is up, I'll just hold her.

I can't read her mind, but I can show her (as best as I am able without fumbling through a verbal exchange) that I will continue to be her man through whatever the issue may be.

And if, for some reason, there isn't actually anything going on, she typically gets turned on from being held, leading to some great sex anyway.

Ah yes! The infamous "nothing".. I can't believe I left that out!

Well, you may not be able to read minds, but both people can usually tell what's wrong.. and I agree that if it has to reach to the point where the other person has to say "nothing".. it's a little too late.. and frustrating..

Haha! Oh Mis.. you forget that i'm just pushing Indi & Vash's buttons.. but just for some good fun, that's all.. the problem with text is that it doesn't capture tone of voice..

Anyway.. OV.. what's the deal-e-o with piano-girl?

[vashti]

You are attempting to push MY buttons? I haven't really argued with you since page 3 or 4... You aren't pushing my buttons. I am more amused than anything else...

Poor GS, feeling hard done to? You're just miffed b/c I said I stopped reading your posts. I'm flattered, tho, you care so much what I think.

Honestly, you are the biggest attention whore I've ever 'met' online or off. Are you SURE you're a guy?

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner^. Tho, how do you find this works if she's angry at *you*, Sphinx?

Hasn't happened since I've started, but I'm confident it would work the same.
