So I've read this quite a bit now...."I don't expect it, but it'd be nice" or "I don't really expect him to...., but if he did, I'd appreciate"

I am curious really, what does that mean? So if you don't expect things...and then you really don't get it, would you be dissapointed? Technically you shouldn't be dissapointed, because you didn't expect it?

It is different however, if you TRULY didn't expect things, but say he surprised you, then you're truly suprised, then it's a different story.

So is it probably more about Not-really-expecting, but kinda secretly hoping?

Looking forward to an encouraging, logical and sensible and reasonable, sexy and fun-filled banter!

I think is the difference between what someone has experienced, perhaps even what they feel they should experience - and what they typically experience.

Like getting an honest deal. It is my right, as an honest person, yet not often found.

When someone uses "but" to qualify a statement, they really mean the exact opposite of what the statement actually expresses, but what do I know.

Wait..I just thought of this....is it the same as

"Well, if you don't know what I'm upset about then, I ain't gonna tell YOU!!

or

"I pull out my wallet and I really want to pay and have every intention to do so, but if he accepted, then I think he's a cheap jerk! "

Men!!!

(is it the same?)

Some people's single-ness comes as no suprise.

This might be part of why.

personally, if i would say something like

"I don't expect my brand new boyfriend to get me a huge expensive diamond for valentines day, but it would be nice" I would mean I would not be disappointed if he didn't. clearly it would be a great fantastic surprise but i would understand why he didn't.

FWIW, I would think it was weird if he did, lol. not because it is too soon, but because i went on a rant the other day about the Kay commercials and the diamond industry's human rights abuses.

true story.

So then what you really should say is "it would be nice [for] my brand new boyfriend to get me a huge expensive diamond for valentines day, but I don't expect [it]."

Then my logic above holds. And it fits with what you actually mean.

OK, I'll shut up now. LOL!
