- My experience with American women is that they don't talk to a potential
- boyfriend about other their relationship or about other men unless they
- are trying to say something serious. From a male perspective (at least,
- this male's perspective), it can be hard to figure out exactly *what*
- they are saying, but they *are* saying *something*, and it's usually
- worthwhile to find out what.
-
- When this woman says there's nothing going on between you and she, and
- talks about the other man, it seems to me she could be saying one of
- several things:
- 1. She's just mentioning the situation for your information, and doesn't
- mean to say anything more than that. I've never met an American woman
- who would do this; it seems to be culturally ingrained not to do this.
- 2. She's trying to tell you that she doesn't feel romantic about you and
- just wants to be your friend. This might be because she feels romantic
- about the other guy. Again, I've never met an American woman who would
- do this; she'd come right out and tell it to you directly, rather than
- hinting at it like this.
- 3. She's trying to tell you that she *does* feel romantic about you, and
- wants you to be more aggressive about it. When she says, "There's nothing
- between you and me", the implication is, "But there should be something!"
- When she says, "This other guy is bugging me about you," the implication
- is, "If you don't hurry up and get romantic, well, there are other men
- out there who will."
-
- It's quite possible that a Lithuanian woman would not mean the same sorts
- of things as American women, but I think you should find out. I would
- actually suggest being more aggressively romantic with her, and if that's
- not what she meant, you'll find out pretty quick.
