    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 :)

            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?"

            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.

                                          This whole topic is becoming a juvenile discussion of raging chimps.

                                          And how does that answer my question? A couple of points: You don't have to read these discussions. You chose to do so. I asked you a civilised question which you chose to respond to in a juvenile fashion. Now could you please answer my question? Why was this sexist? If you can't offer a reasoned argument you shouldn't waste our time.
