Sometimes, even when I say EXACTLY what I mean to say, a woman will hear something different, because I obviously ACTUALLY meant something else. I hate to say it, but if not most guys, then at least this guy is not that smart. So, to clarify something I've been pondering, could I please have a few women leave their definition of "long term" in regards to long term relationships? And for everyone's benefit, if there's any common phrases you may have heard someone of the opposite sex say in the past, please be kind enough to leave your translation of what was said below.

In my experience, every action, pause, word and phrase are parsed in a woman's mind and has meaning to them, regardless of if any meaning was intended.

Have you ever thought that maybe some things are a little too cliché for a reason?!

.. definition of "long term" in regards to long term relationships? It means they have spent too much time in short term parking. And are looking for a deal.

it means it isnt a casual relationship it means we arent 'just hanging out' it means neither of us feel like 'Ill see ya when I see ya' it means neither of us have a 'I can take it or leave it' attitude long term mostly implies to me a commitment to an exclusive relationship,,,,in hopes of it lasting and working out for the 'long term'

Why don't you give us some examples of what you think things mean that women think differently about?

Long term relationship...more than a meaningful overnight relationship. For me, long term means a year or so, or longer...usually means a committed relationship, live in, married or serious and monogomous... But then I don't spreak americanese anyway...and have trouble interpeting the americanese engrish rangruage at the best of times.
