What Is He Really Saying? Single Gals

Interpreting What Men Say to Single Gals

Men often use indirect language to avoid rejection or express uncertainty. Phrases like I will call you or suggest activities may hide hesitation or disinterest. Understanding these signals helps you better interpret their true intentions and decide your next move in dating.

He says: I'll call you
Translation: I really mean to call but I hate rejection or worse let down once we do go out? Or what if it actually works? I don?t know what I want, but the thought of giving up my freedom is freakyyyy!

He says: So maybe we could grab a drink/go to a movie/catch a concert (fill in the blank with activity of choice) or something?
Translation: I think you're really hot and want to ask you out, but I don?t have the guts to say it point blank. This way, if you say no, I?m not rejected.

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.

I got this line said to me: "I care about you and your a great person."

So I guess he meant: "Your good enough to sleep with, but not good enough to date."

men.....

If you don't want to be with a "great person" what kind of person do you wanna be with.....a not so great person?! Makes no sense.........

Yeah I dislike the "I will call you." Becasue it doesn't give a time frame when he will call. Next time ask them, "When and what time are you planning on calling?" This will test his honesty.

Lol I do, I like 'specific' how, when, where, what? I have to know, can't be waiting around for a call or a 'maybe' and man do I hate it when I've been told that they were gonna call n they don't. What makes them think they can call the next day? In that case sorry thought you weren't gonna call, I'll call YOU some other time aaahaaa ha haa! ok not that funny

Ah ha ha I do that too ! Like when I've already got something planned for the next day that he doesn't need to know until... the next day, I make sure to walk off saying "k I'll call u tomorrow"

And I have a shirt that says exactly that "Don't call me" in the front and "I'll call you" in the back, anywho it's funny cuz I've been asked for my number quite a few times while wearing it and I was thinking- that goes to show that men like to do the opposite because they only see the part that says 'don't call me' 😛 Man I like that shirt 🙂 too bad it's baggy and shrunken now ha ha ha
