They may be a best friend that didn't hear you right IF it was something that happened every once in a while. But if it occures on a regular basis, then the answer would be no. A friend wouldn't put words into your mouth, or switch your words around like that. They would respect what you said, and not change it around on you. If they disagreed with you, they would simply tell you they disagreed. Mine have no problem letting me know when they don't agree with my opinion, so I would hope that others would as well.

I would love to take this one on. ..\nWomen assume that men are capable of understanding subtle signals. Like when you were in junior high...Girls could just mouth words to other girls across the room and the other girl would understand. Guys would be right next to each other and would whisper like they were in a helicopter because that is the only way men could understand what the other was saying. Men don't pick up on women's signals. So when you get fed up with this and blow up at the guy or do something drastic, the guys think you have gone completely insane and didn't ever see it coming. Meanwhile, you have been sending several signals to foreshadow this action that the man has just overlooked.

Personally, I am very cautious and only say it when I mean it, because somehow it does scare most men.  In my opinion (just my opinion), some women are insecure and feel if they say that, it will show that they are giving affection to only YOU, that one special man.  Just like men, women aren't always honest and sometimes say what they think the man may want to hear or that it will benefit them in some way.

It means he doesn't want to offend you I would imagine.  No offense but girls get mad about the stupist things (yes I know men do to)  A guy that is saying what ever you want to do is usualy trying not to make a mistake.

The guys are stupid if they are going to judge you by your friends.  If they aren't willing to get to know you then they aren't worth talking to anyway.  \n\nAlso they are probably intimidated by you and your friends.  You and your friends probably have a lot of confidence and stand strong to guys which can scare them.  \n\nAnd if you all are always together that can be a major factor as well because you aren't as intimidating when you are alone rather than with your friends.

You should really listen to what he has said to you because only a person knows what they are capable of. He may already be in different (sexual) relationships with other people and don't want to tell you. Respect he was man enough to tell you and not play games with your heart.

Probably case of a jealous lover/friend/admirer. Dont think you need to bother too much about what the person said. If you think you are not "loose", you are not loose.

They think the same about us...there is a major communication barrier.  Men and women communicate in totally different ways and therefore messages get misread.

Yes and No.\nWhy Yes:-\nDepend on the guys, some guys are very talkative and want their girls to answer them back. And like Women they love to hear nice compliments.\nWhy no:-\nSome guys are not that talkative, and only want short sentences answer. And does want to talk to their girls everytime, they have other time passes.\nIn modern world, guys are like women, they are gossipi, like style and fashion, like to hear compliments\nThere are only few % of non talkative guys.

Actually, we do listen as guys.  However, we factor in things as "relative importance".  So when something falls in the low category of that, then we disregard it and it appears that we aren't listening.  On the bright side of this at least we aren't rude and don't tell you "I don't give a sh!t"!.\n\nFor example,\n\nIf you ask a guy "do you think I should dye my hair?"...that is relatively unimportant to us because you are going out with us.  So we don't care what color your hair is.\n\nHowever, if you asked "Do you think we could increase the amount of times we have sex and maybe buy a 2nd fridge that contains only beer"...then we would definitely chime in with our sagacious opinion because that is definitely high on the "relatively important" scale.\n\nBut don't change for us...just accept us as who we are cause you know we love ya!!!

Guys are NEVER discreet or non-obvious. We are loud, obnoxious and generally act like idiots. When a girl doesn't know if a guy likes her... well, she's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Guys know that if they just say they want to hang out and have fun, that most girls will not have sex with them. They don't want to get serious so, they pretend that they care and know they don't. Honesty is not something most guys can handle themselves.

Well basically guys usually want to hear nice stuff like you telling them i love you or you telling them that you miss them they just want to hear anything that doesnt lead to any drama.Because you giving him drama will be the last thing they want to hear from you.And they want to hear things like probably how cute they look or, well basically they will listen to anything you tell him that doesnt refer to drama.

Don't listen to your friends she must be jealous, what kind of friend says that? May be she was just joking. May be she thinks you're spending too much time with him and feels left out. Besides guys are  into girls with a lot of the same hobbies. And may-be he's just one of those guys into tomboys while others are into girly girls. She might like him too. He so totally likes you, most girls ask guys to attend their meets, because it's a type of flirting and i guess he's flirting with you. Walking you home, to your classes, awww, he's so crushing on you. He may be shy though after you said no, because he might have been hurt because he thought you may have been lying just because you didn't want to say no. He really does love you, otherwise why he take all of his time to devote himself to following you?

Because women are more understanding.Guys just want one thing.Girls actually listen.And besides, they say that only a woman knows exactly what a woman wants.

Ms. Fruitbat does know what you're talking about. There are definitely differences in how males and females communicate, and we women also often think men are nuts because we don't understand their style either. They often seem to me  like there's a whole bunch of nonverbal things going on in the room that show who likes and doesn't like who and all kinds of subtle complex stuff  going on at the same time and it's all going straight over their heads, like if every obvious little thing isn't pointed out to them they just don't have a clue.  \n\nI've heard it all goes back to when men were hunters and communication had to be minimal, direct and simple, (and I assume each males rank had a lot to do with who got to be listened to the most), while females gathered, spread out over a large area without much need for rank, and watching kids too, so they kept up a constant chatter, and as long as they heard everybody carrying on with low key chatter, they could keep track of where everybody was and know that everybody was safe, and what was actually being said wasn't the most important part. Women do say an average of 3 times more words per day than men do.\n\nSo for example even though it seems crystal clear to you, whatever women you're talking about may not realize men mean that harm will come if they don't shut up; they may think that as long as they keep talking, they're keeping negotiations going on that will prevent the next level of force. Also in women-speak, it's considered somewhat rude to bluntly state an opposing opinion, so the way women  participate is to make a neutral comment, or one where their point seems clear to them but is done so subtly that the guys don't even know they're trying to make a point. It is all very interesting, from a distance that is. But close up it's maddening. Ms. Fruitbat wishes you luck.
