He Says, He Means

He says: “We should see other people just so we know we are right for each other.”

He means: I think I am interested in someone else, and I don't want you to feel I am being deceitful.

He says: “Are you close to your family?”

He means: Have you talked about me yet? And, are you bringing me home to meet them?

He says: “Let's meet at the bar, I'll be there with friends.”

He means: I don't want to give you the wrong idea, this is by no means a date.

He says: “We are separated, but we are still living together due to financial reasons.”

He means: I want it all. My family and you.

He says: “I can't see you on the weekends because I like to spend time with my friends, but we can go out during the week.”

He means: I have other plans on the weekends, and I am not willing to make you a priority quite yet.

He says: “I would love to be intimate with you, but I don’t want it to ruin our friendship.”

He means: The thought of sleeping with you doesn’t interest me, but since I do enjoy hanging out, I am letting you down as gently as possible.

He says: “You have such perfect lips.”

He means: I can't wait to kiss them all night long.

He says: “I don’t mind if you go out with the girls. Seriously, have a great time tonight.”

He means: I will be going out with the boys, either tonight or in the near future and you won’t be able to say anything about it.

He says: “Guys check you out all the time, I am so lucky to be with you.”

He means: Please reassure me that you are not interested in anyone else. I have too much pride to ask.

He says: “I really love our time together.”

He means: You are very special to me and I want to keep seeing you.

Love the list...very helpful! Does that mean I shouldn't call if he asks me to? No problem.
