This needs to be timed to perfection, or I might get chilly and therefore ornery.

I try to do casual dating with no actual expectations, preconceived expectations about a person I don't know is just silly IMO.

When someone buts a in the middle of denying having the expectation, it negates the original thought...they are playing with semantics and have some other motive in mind.

I can EXPECT just about anything but that doesn't mean I'll get it.

Now priorities-thats different. We all have things that we want from the people we will commit to. Frog wants a woman whose rich dad owns a micro-brewery. Don't know if he would make that an expectation however.

It's words sweetie, just words.

Best to say what you mean and mean what you say.

I expect you know that, though

The heck with Frog, I want that woman!! (a plus if there's a nice burger joint and a bowling alley attached to that micro-brewery).

Well, I think a lot of the posts already addressed your question, and I particularly agree with posts #21 and #27.

I'll just add my $0.02
To me there are two scenarios where someone (not necessarily a woman!) would say something like that:

(1) they mean exactly what they said; it is a preference or enjoyment of a certain activity/gesture, but with zero expectation.
In this case, if they don't get it, it really doesn't matter.

(2) it is actually a denial (whether conscious or subconscious) of what they truly feel; it is a genuine need that they have, but refuse to openly admit.
In this case, if they don't get it...... well, they might think/pretend it doesn't matter, but deep down it really does.

As to how you can actually tell the two cases apart.... haha, you're on your own with that!
