I think we should start today’s post off with a definition.

Communication: to express thoughts, feelings, or information easily or effectively.

Apparently a large majority of guys are unable to do this. Don’t get me wrong here, guys can talk and even listen but when it comes to actually needing to get a point across effectively, you guys are pretty horrible at this. I have spent a large majority of my relationships attempting to decode and analyze what has been said to me by a guy. Ladies, you can all agree with this process. Your guy says something completely obscure or vague to you about what he’s feeling and you have to enlist your friends to try and aid you in decoding what he actually meant. It’s a very tediuos process that I find myself doing quite a bit.

I mean just last night a guy I am in a situation with sent me a completely obscure text message and I had to enlist the advice of a male friend to enlighten me on what the guy was trying to get across. Ridiculous!! I mean there was no way that I would have been able to figure out that an invitation is spelled out like…” idk about you but Im going home.” Who knew?? I thought an invitation would sound more like… “Im going home alone unless you wanted to go with me.” Oh well I guess my inability to decode left me alone last night. DAMN!!

But to combat those lonely nights I figure that maybe I could help some of you gals out there with a little male decoding.

The Invite

Ok so it’s the end of the night, you’ve had all the fun that can be had with other people watching and you both are heading home. Most times no matter how confident or bold the guy seems, he probably feels some type of way about coming right out and asking you if he can come over. So he will ask something like: “what you bout to get into?” or the latest one “i don’t know about you, but I’m about to go home. Now both of these will lead into more conversation which will then lead into the actual invitation several minutes later. This is quite time consuming and irritating to the female and would end in more of a success if you would just be upfront and ask for what you want. Remember: confidence is the sexiest asset on a guy and if you don’t have that, you’re invitation will be promptly declined.

Not Interested

You and your guy have been “going steady” for a couple weeks now and lately he has become slightly distant. You try with all your might to figure out what is wrong with him but he keeps telling you he is fine and you are just over reacting. Well until that one day you call and he doesn’t answer. So you follow your call up with a text, which he doesn’t answer. At this point you are frustrated because he always answers. Several frantic calls and text messages later, still no answer. I hate to tell you this girl, but he is over you. What we fail to realize as women, is that if a guy has a genuine interest in you he will always find a way to either talk to you or be around you. He will make a way because he likes you. When you have to bribe him with dirty texts or threats for him to call or text you back, he’s so not interested so leave it alone. This is incredibly immature but at the end of the day, I assume guys feel that it is better to just not respond so that they won’t have to deal with the drama of explaining to the girl why they aren’t interested so they just stop answering. LOSERS!!

I Like You

So I have found that guys just have a really hard time being the first to admit an emotion. But there are a couple of ways to know if he likes you. If he says, “You’re one of the coolest girls I’ve ever met” or “No other girls compare” he probably has a little flame burning for you. By comparing you to other girls, he feels like this shows you’re the best and in turn this comparison is a way for him to show he is feeling you. Guys always want the best and by putting you at the top of the list you’re just what they want.

Lastly, here is the one that I always have trouble figuring out. When the hell are guys truly upset with you? Simple, if they just want to drop a subject when you bring it up, they walk away from you or they keep indicating that they feel indifferent about a situation. These are all clear indicators that they are pissed about something and you should give them a little time and then apologize. Once you do that, they will talk to you about it.

Now you see gals, all those strange actions actually mean something, they aren’t just being all dumb and crazy. They are just slightly slower when it comes to effectively communicating with humans, lol.
