Remnants of a three hour conversation with a friend

Relationships are complicated.

No, obviously we said more than that. So here are the highlights. Actually, I just proved my following point. Guys and girls speak different languages. For example, when I say highlights, most girls probably think hair style. Guys, on the other hand, would think sports. On a deeper level, especially within a relationship (friendship or otherwise), guys and girls usually hear different things even though they're in the same conversation. For example: I (a girl) once said, "We should go watch 300 together," to a guy. What I meant was, "I'm going away for a month and I really want to spend time with you before I leave." What he heard was, "I really want to watch 300." Same words, different message. And we girls blame guys for not interpreting our messages correctly, but we forget that they are simply speaking a different language.

So be careful what you say, and for goodness sake, say what you really mean. There are hearts at stake.
