Why don't you just ask

Take my words at face value, and try not to read into them so much. Usually when I say something, I mean it. Unless it's when you ask me 'How are you' and I say I'm fine, when I'm really not, but I need you to prod me to tell you what's on my mind. Or when you ask me what's wrong, and I say, nothing, but I just want you to hug me and tell me to stop lying to you.

Yes, wouldn't it be great to live in a universe where women just said what they meant, and meant what they said, instead of torturing their men to try to figure it out? And G-d forbid should the man get it wrong, he knows where he is gonna sleep tonight.

It's funny though. Sometimes people just assume stuff. And I wonder, why don't you just ask me? Ask me for a ride, instead of assuming that I would refuse. Ask me if I want to hang out with you, before deciding I would say no.

Ask me what I mean when you don't understand, instead of making it up by yourself, and getting it completely wrong.

Ask me what my opinion is on something, before deciding that I wouldn't understand, and I don't have an opinion at all.

Ask me what I want for my birthday, instead of buying me nothing at all. (lol. That was a joke, don't worry, my birthday isn't for another few months.)

I know that every persons mind works differently. I know that no two humans have the same thoughts at the same time, or the exact same feelings on the same event. I know that whatever goes on in my vast brain is not the same as the next person.

When I react negatively to a piece of news, you may be happy about it. Or vice versa.

And for that reason, you should ask, instead of assuming. There's a joke about the word assume, it makes an ass out of you and me.

So why don't you try it. Next time you want to know how I'm feeling, or what I'm thinking, ask me. I have so much to tell you, so many thoughts to share, if only you asked, and really wanted to know.

And if I disappoint you- well that's your problem.
