Date-speak translations?

I've got one:
"You're funny, and really nice! But I just got out of a relationship recently and am not ready for anything yet."
This is a paraphrase of the response from a girl I met about a week and a half ago, who I was hoping to meet up with again last weekend.
What it translates to in my mind is:
"I'm going to find someone better looking to be my rebound."
Needless to say, I won't be wasting my time trying to woo her.
Hey now, hey now, hey now.
Honestly, I've said this to a guy in all truthfulness.
I had a really messy breakup last year and I had a guy asking me out to dinner.
I couldn't possibly imagine myself being in the right state of mind to be attempting to go on a date with someone, let alone a really nice guy who deserved a better chance than to be with this fragile, emotional mess.
Maybe some girls say this as a cop-out, but in all honesty she might've been saving you from some serious wreckage!0 -
FWIW, I never saw this guy again.
Hmm, interesting?! So maybe he subconsciously realized that it wasn't a good fit before he mentally did?! Haha, OK, never mind, he's a guy...
Or maybe he thought that if JJ was analyzing his words that carefully that he didn't want to deal with it. Walking on egg shells sucks.0 -
From men to women
"You wanna come over and watch a movie" = I want you to come over and have sex
"You don't see me in romantic way, ok let's JUST be friends"=I'm just hang around and hope you get horny and slip up and give me some.
"Let's JUST be FWB"= your not good enough to be my girlfriend but certainly we can sleep together, I mean does a fat kid like cake?
"I like you a lot but I'm not ready for a commitment"= I'm date you til the chick I really want comes along.
"Oh your celibate I respect that , that's great"= oh boy! She's super tight! I can't wait to hit that!
Not me I would never be so crass. What other guys think.0 -
Her: "My next door neighbor's cousin's roommate's brother fell out of a tree while chasing bigfoot through the Mojave dessert so I have to watch his parent's dogs while they travel to Atlantis in their flying saucer" = I don't feel like hanging out tonight.0

You wanna come over and watch a movie

See I'm honest I'll own up to my tricks0 -
I confessed a crush to someone in the same email that i asked a question about a dating profile...and the response back was to keep working on my profile and I should be fine. I think that means, "i'm going to ignore that part of the message so we can still be friendly...but don't bring it up again!" Literally made me laugh out loud! I really am glad he's a nice enough guy to not make a bigger deal than it needed to be!0

Ouch. Could be. But really, what I think happened (and the reason I told him I didn't expect to hear from him) is that when guys say a casual good bye/give "not interested" signals and then come back later it's usually because the woman they were hoping to get with that weekend (whether she was real or someone they hpoed to meet online) didn't work out. Rather than be alone, they'll "settle" for my company (and the chance that they can get me into bed). It was my way of letting him know I'm not fooled into suddenly thinking he's into me but still leave an opening if he was genuine. Guys, feel free to correct me here
Guys who are into me don't end first dates with casual things like "take care" or "see ya 'round." Most of the time, they actually set up our next date before the first is over.
Over-analyzing? Maybe. That's one of my biggest faults. Wish I could make my over-analyzing as entertaining for you all as Buffy's and La_Amazona's, lol. If more ladies on this board understood such translations, they'd realize the guy they thought "poofed" really didn't poof after all. He sent very clear (but subtle) "not into you" signals and it's no surprise "the poofer" didn't call again.0 -
There was a pub called "Work" near my old job:I'm going to open a restaurant called "I don't care"
Then guys will ALWAYS win.
- Hey hun, where are you? You're late...
- Oh... I'm at "Work"! So I'll be late indeed. :happy:
- Oh, ok! (such dedication) :flowerforyou:0
