Dating is the best thing for bringing out the best and worst in any person. Women approach dating with a controlled and subtle approach towards truth. That is, they tend to stretch and modify the details and contort veracity to suit their needs. This isn’t done out of malicious intent; rather, it is done to eschew undesired drama and protect their own feelings. Read on and learn about the harmless white lies that a majority of women employ while dating.
I am Not Really Looking for Something Serious
Any woman who says this often is in fact looking for something authentic. She might not even know it yet, and that’s why she tries to remain casual to avoid looking vulnerable.
I Didn’t See Your Message
Well, we can say that this is simply not the case. A woman only says this when she has seen your message and needs some space and time to think about an appropriate reply, or because she was incapacitated or engaged, or perhaps it caught her at a time when she wasn’t feeling like having a long conversation.
I Am Totally Fine
Don’t be fooled when a woman says this. No matter what her expressions might be or how many reassurances she makes, she is simply not fine. There is something that is bothering her and she probably doesn’t want to talk about it. Patiently, yet firmly, ask her about it and she will eventually spill the beans about what irks her.
I Don’t Usually Do This
This one is a classic. This phrase is uttered by women to keep things classy and a bit mysterious. It is also used to dispel any assumptions that you might have, no matter what you construed “this” to be.
I Have Been So Busy Lately
This phrase is used by women to placate you. They usually say it when they aren’t prioritizing you but are far too polite to hurt you or break your interest. It might also be because they want to see where things are going to go naturally and not let things progress too soon or too fast.
I Love That For You
This phrase is uttered when a woman is trying to be supportive or understanding about your passions or interests. It might be attire, hobbies, sports, or whatever; if a woman says it, then it shows that she’s trying to take a genuine interest in you, even about the things that she doesn’t completely understand.
I Barely Wear Makeup
Well, this is a simple, innocuous white lie. A woman’s bare minimum in makeup comprises things like lash serum, concealer, primer, and so on. So, it is better to be understanding about this aspect and let the women do what they do without any judgement in this regard.
I Hardly Ever Stalk My Dates Online
This phrase simply translates to, “Yes, she does stalk and check up on you online.” At this point, she knows all about your social media information, the selfies and photos you have posted online, your statuses, preferences, and more that you have chosen to display online.
I Don’t Care About Looks That Much
When a woman says this, it usually means that she does care about how you look, like, a lot. They are more interested in and are alluding to a man’s grooming, effort, confidence, and hygiene more than looks or six packs, though.
I Hardly Drink
She does drink, and those drinks include wine nights with girlfriends, the occasional mimosa, flavored vodka, and other assorted drinks. The frequency of gulping down these drinks might be low, but she does drink, no matter what she says.
I am not mad; I am Just Confused
When a woman says this, it means that she is a quarter confused, with the rest being all mad. She is trying to hold herself back from launching into a full-blown tirade unless you provide her with the emotional reassurance to placate her and dispel her doubts.
I Didn’t Notice That Girl Checking You Out
She definitely did notice by a mile when another woman was checking you out. She ascertained everything, down to the minutest detail about her. She simply saved those details in her memory, to be used as armament against you in future arguments.
I Didn’t Need Anything for My Birthday
A woman loves it when her man surprises her with something on her birthday. She might feign surprise with this phrase, but underneath it lies immense delight and happiness. She likes it that you delivered outstandingly on her birthday but wants to appear classy and cool with this phrase.
I Am Almost Ready
Women take a long time to get ready before heading out, and this phrase indicates that she is certainly not ready yet. If anything, she is probably somewhere in the middle of her preparations. She’s simply stalling for time and trying to mitigate any consternation or irritation that her man might be experiencing while waiting for her to get ready.
I Am Over My Ex
It might be true, or it might not be completely true. It takes time for anyone, be it man or woman, to get over an ex. There might still be some emotional dust left in the psychological attic that she needs to remove. This phrase is used to assuage any misgivings or apprehension that her current partner might have about this aspect.
Final Thoughts
These white lies that women use aren’t intended to deceive men. They are usually part and parcel of dating, where women use them to protect themselves from being hurt, be polite, and ensure that things progress smoothly in their love lives.
