1-26-10: What A Man Says Vs What A Woman Hears

Guys...You have to be careful what you say.  The actual words you use are very important.  Often what you say is NOT what a woman hears.  Below is an example: 

 

When A Man Says:

"I love you/care about you...but I'm not in love with you"

A Woman Hears:

You are not a person I could ever be in love with...but you are better than nothing"

When A Man Says:

"Love me but don't be in love with me"

A Woman Hears:

"Loving Me Would Be A Waste of Time because I Can/Will Never Return It"

When A Man Says:

"I enjoy being with you but I can't/won't make a commitment nor do I see myself spending the rest of my life with you"

A Woman Hears:

"This is just temporary...and until something better comes along...you'll do"

I will address this with some more examples a bit later...So check back.
