Hi I keep reading women writing about everything a guy said and every look and every gesture he made to try to figure out what it means. I'm guilty of this too. So I wonder, do men try to analyze our actions too? Do you do it a little, a lot, or not at all?

Not this man. Very little to none at all. Analysis leads to making stuff up which never has a positive outcome, so I just ask her whats up with "that" when i suspect her intended meaning may not be the one I received. Asking defends against ambiguity or worse- making stuff up. If a relationship feels good, great, if not or I have a question, I just ask her. So simple. No drama, no making stuff up, clarity of communications, no ambiguity. Life is good.

I never did before I started reading these boards. I am too stoopid to think about this stuff on my own.


Now I sit there and watch her across the table and note that she is not making eye contact with me while talking. "She must not be interested" that is what all the advice says. No second date, what, she says she wants to go out again. WTF????? Shurely shome mistake, I must have misunderstood that she wants to go out again.

I'll say this....everything someone does, as well as things they don't do to some extent, provides information about the person. For myself, at the time a woman does something this may form an immediate impression as to what it means about her. Or, it may also be some time for the various pieces of information I've taken inabout herto come together to give me a clearer picture of who she is.

Most of the time, we're simple creatures. It's when we want to find out why something occurs that we start analyzing. This usually starts after a few dates, where we start to think, hey, what's going on here? Did we do something stupid? Did SHE do something stupid?


Most of the time, we can't figure it out, so we go "meh", and just relax and enjoy it.

Where oh where did my post go?


I did not analyze what a woman was doing until I started reading these boards. I am too stoopid to think of this stuff myself.


Now I sit across the table from her and notice she is not making eye contact with me while she talks to me. She is not into me, no second date for me. What??? she wants to go out again? Shurely shome mistake, I must have misunderstood her say she wants to go out again.
