Men’s mixed messages

Why is it that men can’t just come and and say what they want? Most guys I know say that the female of the species is difficult to understand but honestly, understanding the fairer sex is a walk in the park compaired to getting to grips with the male psyche.

A friend of mine had a few dates with a ’seemingly normal’ guy recently – on the surface he looked pretty sane, he had a good job (he was a copper), no obvious personality defects and hadn’t been smacked with the ugly stick… all good!

Everything was going well, or so she thought- they’d exchanged soppy valentine’s prezzies (well he had – she made a bit of a faux pas by buying him a chocolate heart when he was alergic to chocolate!), had had cosy nights together in front of the tv and seemed to be getting on fine. Then, just like that, the text messages ground to a halt, and when she commented on his sudden silence she got fed the old ‘I’m just not in the right place for a relationship right now’ crap…

Now being a cool and sassy chick, my mate wasn’t overly concerned by this and had pretty much forgotten about the whole thing when, out of the blue, ‘wierdy-cop-boy’ started texting her again… WTF!! Why would he do this, he’s not asked her out or anything, he just keeps sending her bizarre texts about random rubbish and my poor pal doesn’t know whether she’s coming or going!

The latest of these messages was the bizarrest though… its his b’day this weekend and he’s asked her if she wants to go out with him and his mates!!!??? Now this would be quite a big deal if they were actually dating… meeting the boyf’s mates is always a big thing, but what does it mean when you’re not actually in any kind of relationship with the bloke in question? Can you imagine how difficult it could potentially be? And what would happen if he had a really hot mate… would it be a ‘no-no’ to say ’see ya later’ to ‘non-boyf’ and bugger off with his bezzie mate?

Its no wonder there are so many single gals out there when the messages sent out by their male counterparts are so damn difficult to decipher!
