Translation Please?

Okay, those of you who are fluent in the subtle differences in the way most men and women sometimes communicate...

If a guy says something about, "I don't normally do this, but..." do you believe him or not? Is it likely to be a line or is he likely telling the truth? Do explain this part.

(edit: He was telling me he didn't usually take breaks just to intercept people who he'd helped in the store (Borders) and try to ask them to hang out. Are you less confused now? I hope so, cause I'm not)

(Oh, and whoever pointed me at the Jason Mraz CD, you rock. Extra special lurrrve to you. If you're into singer/songwriter stuff, it's worth a listen.)

This would be my interpretation:

- If there was a supervisor or manager nearby, he might be putting a minor disclaimer onto your dialog as not to get in trouble by socializing too much while on the clock.

- He might be a little bit on the shy side, and by saying that he doesn't normally do what he was doing, he might've been trying to open up to you.

This is, of course, unless I misread your post above, which is entirely possible!

Heh. The fun of communcating while dating. Trust me, it's not any easier with other combinations of people. ;)

He'd actually taken a ten minute break just to try and intercept me in the corridor. It was kind of cute.

And I tend to have more faith in figuring out women than men. That doesn't mean I'm always right.
