    The female gender (no offense) is very confusing sometimes. I'm sure women feel the same way. Anyhoo.... Relationship question -- when my girlfriend of 1.5 months tells me, what's she really saying? "Go away, dude, you bother me?"

    I agree with Christian... asking this type of question in a development forum is like asking Stephen Hawking for a good jogging route... you may get an answer, but its just not a reliable source... ;P

      That's what they (we...) say... but in actual fact, staying friends with an ex is a man's thing. Someone said to me: Men chooses the "Save as..." option whereas women just hit the "Save" button and click "yes" to "Do you want to overwrite this data?" ;P Likelihood is, she'll do her best, but you'll be completely erased from her life in a few weeks.:~

      Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

      Yeah, we actually both just hit "Save" and "Overwrite this data" the next day... Wait a minute if that's true then why am I posting this? Oh, wait, I forgot to empty my memory's "Recycle Bin"...dang you, Microsoft Windows Cerebellum 7! Hahahahahaha

        A while ago I was on the highway and passed the exit named 'Neandertal'. I am very sure that some 200000 or 30000 years ago some guys sat there in a cave around a fire and discussed similar questions. And like them, we can just sit here and guess. Of course you could simply ask her what it is supposed to mean. But do that only if you are the adventurous type and are prepared for the possible consequences. Pick the wrong time/word/gesture/smell/color of your shirt and she will discover some nonexisting hidden meaning in even the most straightforward question and start to make your life interesting.

          On occasion. She was a lone stranger in a strange (to her, normal to everyone else) city and I must have (somehow) appeared as a brilliant ray of light (or something). She was working on her Master's in psychology and I figured she just needed a subject. ::shrug::

              Yes, it's funny if you put it that way, but it's the actual problem. Some women can't say a single sentence without some hidden meaning or implication. And we just hear either just 'bla bla bla' or take it far too literally. And, the other way around, they try to get your hidden meanings without ever realizing that you simply meant it just the way you said it. If it was god who played that prank on us, I sure hope he really enjoys seeing us stumble around in confusion :)

                  It means she herself doesn't know what she means. All she knows is she feels compelled to move on, but she still has feelings. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

                          I'd say she's telling you she wants to cease all access to her trouser area, but to stay on friendly terms. But, women are confusing, don't ask a bunch of geeks to decode, ask her for clarification.

                                  It only matters to you if you are "in love" with her. I know from my personal experience that if a woman says that she is not "in love" with you that usually means she doesn't want anything intimate from you and she has probably been thinking about a way out of your relationship for sometime. Women think with their hearts and men think with their clicks.

                                        With approximately 2,187,838,153 women in the world, how could it possibly matter what she meant? Head for the bus stop. :laugh:

                                          It only matters to you if you are "in love" with her. I know from my personal experience that if a woman says that she is not "in love" with you that usually means she doesn't want anything intimate from you and she has probably been thinking about a way out of your relationship for sometime. Women think with their hearts and men think with their clicks.
