When it comes to relationships, romantic or not, actions speak louder than words right?
How those actions are interpreted by the target audience, HOWEVER, could mean the spoken actions are left open for MISinterpretations. For example if a particular someone temporarily holds your romantic interests and you think your actions are saying "hey I'm interested in getting to know you" but they are being interpreted as "will you marry me?", or you think your actions are saying "I'm busy" but were translated into "Not interested" its because your actions and words are inconsistent. The result: hurt feelings, and what potentially could've been a great thing will probably never be or a disaster was just prevented.
Reminds me how double edged the sharp sword of life really is.
I like to be kept informed, clearly state things, understand things, talk them out and really dislike games that leave room for misinterpretation. Mainly because assumptions have gotten the best of me in the past and I strive not to make them. Call me naive but the benefit of the doubt is something I genuinely offer- because I expect the same in return.
Don't get it twisted, games are necessary and I'm forced to play them to maintain interest and pizzaz...but there comes a point where the power play must be put to the side and ambiguity must be done with. That's when guards are lowered and you reveal yourself, your intents and your interests. When that exactly that moment will take place...who knows.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is: challenge yourself to communicate so that you can figure out if you have been misinterpreted, be clear and consistent with your actions AND words (It's really hard, this requires us to remain conscious of our actions and words and and some us suck at this). Also show the human side of you, let the guards down when your ready and LIVE.
Its scary, but don't be afraid of it, you might be surprised at the outcome. Besides, a wise woman once told me, rejection is only temporary and I'll add to that by saying rejection lasts as long as you let it.

I was listening to a group of old afro american ppl talk yesterday (i was bored) and one of the guys goes yeah i still have friends my age trying to keep up with the in crowd and the game.
why?! idk. I guess we shall leave it to process of elimination. Not everyone is MATURE enough to know the difference between the chase and the ok now lets really get to know each other.
buahahah @ will you marry me. Some ppl are fkin ridiculous.
Oh the picture means the following Left Srikandi, assertive, female and popular symbol of Indonesian women’s movement; Right Sumbadra, Indonesia’s submissive female.
mo' fyah.... but i ask... who is responsible for misinterpretations? the interpreter or the interpretee?
the interpreter because the interpretee is on the receiving end of the message, had the message been communicated clearly, there would be no MISinterpretation....
haha this is trap! I refuse to answer.
and I stand by what I said. Yuvs dope picture, I guess I would be Srikandi... td td td.
