In my previous thread I did online dating but this one is just for everyday real life dating/relationships.

I'll start it off

"I want to see other people"= I have a better prospect then you that I want to pursue. The only thing is I'm not 100% sure I can pull that person so I'm telling you this instead of flat out breaking up, So if it doesn't work out I can always come back to you.

"I think you're a nice guy, but..."

= I think you are physically unattractive.

"I met an interesting guy."


= I met a good looking guy who is not a total douchebag.

Sad but true.

"I like you as a friend" = I find you unattractive/creepy but I don't want to put my life in danger buy telling you to get lost

This is in the context of "friend zoning" obviously there are plenty of other reasons someone wouldn't want to/can't date a friend.

Sometimes women who like you say 'you're nice' or 'let's be friends' to slow you down a little because you're moving so fast.

'My wife and I are polyamorous' usually means '...but she does not know that.'

Ask to meet the wife .

To me these phrases mean "I am not interested in you romantically". Pretty big buzz kills.

100% correct!

Here's a few more:

"Health and fitness are a big part of my life, so I look for women who share those interests" = "I hate fat women."

"I want a guy who is independent, has goals, and knows what he wants out of life"="I want a guy with money."

"That's just my preference"="I am extremely prejudiced against certain people, and want nothing to to with them. But admitting that would make me look bad. So, instead of coming out and admitting I am prejudiced, I will hid behind a mild, benign-sounding word like 'preference' instead."

"I'm just not ready for a relationship right now." = "I am not attracted to you."

"I don't want to ruin our friendship." = "I am not attracted to you."

"I should warn you, I have a sarcastic sense of humor." = "I am a bitter, cruel, hostile person. But I am also passive-aggressive as hell. I don't have the guts to insult people openly, so I pretend my vicious, mean-spirited barbs are just attempts at humor."

"Sure we can be friends" = only on Facebook

"Yeah, maybe we'll do that next weekend" = Lame, I hope you forget all about it by next week.
