As women, we’re quite a confused lot! We mean “Hell, yeah!” when we’re saying a “NO!” and we mean “Don’t you dare!” when we’re telling you “Do what you want.” Basically, we try to be mind readers and want you to do the same! And you wonder why we’re always so stressed and high strung?! But during Valentine’s Day we take this to a whole other level! I mean there is normal mode, hyper mode, PMS mode and then, Valentine mode!
So, just to save you the trouble of making us mad on the one day that we really don’t want to be mad at you, here’s a list of things we say during the season of love and what we actually mean.
1. “Haha, Yeah, That’s Totally Overrated!”
Situation: The two of you are having a discussion and you bring up how romance, dates, flowers, gifts and Valentine’s Day is just so overrated, according to you.
What she means: “Dear God, can’t you see how I’m dying for a Valentine, just once? So, why me? ”
Explanation: Inwardly, her heart is breaking into tiny little pieces because this means you won’t be asking her to be your Valentine. You won’t be giving her flowers, or a card, or jewellery or you may not even go on those fancy dates that people go to! Basically, her world just ended.

Situation: This usually comes after the previous overrated discussion where she’s still trying to sell her point and get you to do something even if you don’t give a damn about it.
What it means: “If you don’t agree to this, I’m going to have to end this right here, right now… please agree to this… pretty please!”
Explanation: She. Is. Really. Trying. It’s probably the most she’ll ever try.
3. “So, Where Are We Going?”

Situation: So, you’ve agreed to do something for her even though you don’t give a damn about it.
What it means: “You’re picking up the tab, Honey!”
Explanation: There’s none, really. We just like you to shoulder our whims, fancies, desires, wishlists, shopping bags… expenses, basically.
4. “I Really Love What We Have Together, Don’t You?”

Situation: You’re at your date, or just wrapping up and you decide to probe the ‘You’re place, or mine’ discussion with her.
What she means: “The only action you’re getting will be Ryan Reynold’s stint as Deadpool.” OR, “I am not having sex with you until you don’t commit to me.”
Explanation: For women, it’s almost impossible to separate sex from romantic relationships. The fact that she wanted you to be her Valentine is kind of the flag you needed to watch out for. Looks like you missed that train. Good luck to you, trying to score with her and all!
5. “I Really Care About You, You Know.”

Situation: You’re talking about why the two of you should do the deed and how you want her and all that sappy stuff you think will get her in the sack.
What she means: “I’ll give you points for trying; knock yourself out!”
Explanation: Just because she wants you to be her Boo on Valentine’s Day, just because you gave her presents, dressed up, shaved everywhere you humanly could, picked her up, treated her to an expensive dinner and acted like the gentleman that you know you’re not, does not mean you’re getting any action. Nope, nyét! Zilch!
6. “Jealous? Who, Me? Pfft… Please!” *Shrugs Her Shoulder With Her Chin In The Air*

Situation: You’re on your romantic Valentine’s Day date with her and you made the unforgivable mistake of checking out another woman who just passed by your table. What’s worse? She saw you do that! And now, you’re trying to explain yourself. Real smooth.
What she means: “So, do you think she’s prettier than me? Do you like her dress more than mine? Would you rather be on a date with her? Why don’t you look at me like that?”
Explanation: We’re women. We hate competition. We hate being compared. But we want the comparison anyway. And we want you to choose us over anyone else—every single time. Deal with it.
7. “Of Course, We’re More Than Just A Label!”

Situation: In the course of conversation, she brings up the ‘what are we’ discussion and you don’t want to lead her on or promise her something you’re not ready to get into just yet. You’d rather just toe the line and make the most of whatever you can.
What she means: “Why won’t you just call me Bae?!”
Explanation: She is really into you and would really like you to be with her rather than anyone else. She just doesn’t know how to say it, especially since she has this whole idea about how the guy makes the move. And you’re clearly not doing that.
