depends on the context or the time you asked the question.
not sure if other guys pay attention to this (and try if you may with your partner).
when you are extremely bussy (with work, friends or a hobby) that's when women spring mind boggling questions.
1. deadline of your quarterly report in an hour "babe what are you doing?" "why are you not talking to me? what are you thinking about?"
2. insert game sport name here, and its final minutes " "sweety bagay ba ung shoes ko?" "what color curtains do you think matches the walls?"
GUY:
1. the fuq? (come on think you bastard so she goes away) uhhhhhh? work... GIRL: lagi ka na lang malamig sakin etc etc
2. mother efffinggg.... anything you choose. GIRL: wala ka naman sense kausap... walk out padabog.
so you see TS. depends on when you asked it. men have a tendency to provide the most direct answer when distracted.
so to answer the question, it was how he was feeling at the time and probably just gave you an answer so you stop asking more questions after that. guess it didn't work eh?
and to be honest we do that all the time. give you a straight answer. although, we lie about the other woman.
unfortunately.... you read too much between the fine red line. just take it as it is.
at least he meant yes i do sometimes. just not now.
