    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?"

    Sincerely Yours, Brian Hart

    Sounds like she wants to keep it a friendship with benefits.

      I think that would always be doomed, but the only girl I ever broke up with was my first wife, who was banging my best friend, so I don't have a depth of experience to draw on.

          Usually, yes. It means she's done but not angry at you. Just done. It also usually means she's got the next person lined up. Proper reply:"do you think it's worrisome when urination is painful?"

                      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.

                              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.:~

                                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

                                    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::

                                      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

                                        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 :)

                                          I am sure that Stephen Hawking would include some factors into his analysis of the optimum jogging route which many of us never heard of or could even spell :)
