So I was just wondering if y'all always say what you mean or if you throw in some subtle hints sometimes and what do they mean

 

I know when I'm dating someone I'm try not to come on too strong so I say things subtly.

 

This guy I'm dating (a little over a month) sent me a text after our date and it said "You're pretty cool by the way. Just want you to know that." What does that mean? Or does it just mean exactly what it says?

I can't see any ambiguity in that at all. I think it's definitely WYSIWYG. He's said it - he meant it.

It's pretty obvious what it means: he likes your personality.

 

Don't overthink stuff. Go with the flow.

 

It's good that you don't want to come off too strong at the beginning of a relationship, but as you get to know each other slowly, better to communicate your feelings frankly.

 

Most importantly, ENJOY your budding relationship. :)

 

Take care.

What hidden meaning can there be in that message? It's pretty straight-forward. It's a sentence, not tea leaves.

Looking for something that is not there...at least you a text. What is it that you sent back in response, or did you just take it as it's all about you?

It means what it says. This is the height of overthinking lol

Men tend to say what they mean, but women tend to read hidden meanings into things men say. That's been my experience... I'm used to women reading me wrong.

In general, IMO it means he enjoys the time he spends with you and, in dating, that's a part of the impetus to keep showing up and getting to know. So, if you feel the same, keep showing up and see how it goes.

Ok great! I figured I was overthinking. He is really shy so I thought it may or may not mean something that it didn't. In response, I said I think you are pretty awesome yourself"...lame I know but I didn't wanna say I love u let's get married. Lol

SM tries to decode me, when i send messages that have a lot to say. The problem is my messages are to bring up thoughts she may keep to herself. So her problem is that she worries that i feel indifferent or found an issue. So if any thing searching for clues may backfire if unaware of the intensions. she loves me for being so generous with my toughts, as many women try to keep things from being out in the open in fear that it would complicate things.

It's a bs text that doesn't really mean anything. Sounds like an attempt at a compliment. Meh. Don't read anything into it at all.

I used to play mind games in my 20's when I was a PUA. Now I try to say what I mean and mean what I say. I try to date people who operate the same way.

 

Guessing games are not only tiresome.. but they also waste a lot of time. If I get any hit of "immature girl messing with my head" I just move on. Deep relationships require trust, and trust requires honestly.
