Manglish: What Men Are Really Saying
When a man says," I just want to be friends."
He is saying, " I'm not interested in you."
And, he is probably not trying to soften the blow so he doesn't hurt your feelings but he is thinking if he says he wants to be friends maybe you won't go bat shit crazy and drop by his house when he has that new special person over, boil his child's rabbit, hack his email, or go psycho and post the naked pictures he was always sexting you when he was reeling you in. Whatever the motivation you can be sure it is out of self preservation not any genuine concern for the feelings of another person.
I think it's pretty much the same when a women says it too.
ReplyDeleteWhen women say, "Let's just be friends." It means, "You can buy my drinks so I loosen up enough to talk to other guys and she will never get drunk enough to do you."
