In any relationship, people often use “jokes” to express their true feelings because they are afraid of hurting the other person.
It’s a tough situation when someone you like uses a joke to express their true feelings.
On one hand, you want them to know your feelings. On the other hand, you’re scared that if they know, you might not be able to stay friends.
People say that being in love is better than being friends because you can spend more time together.
But life is short. No one can stay with us forever.
You might miss a great chance if you pretend you don’t understand someone’s joke or if you really don’t understand.
In life, when a woman makes these kinds of jokes with you, don’t think she’s just messing around. She might be falling for you.
Joking About Your Relationship
When a woman says, “I wish you were my boyfriend,” there are many ways to interpret that.
You could take it as a compliment or you could understand that she’s joking, but actually expressing her true feelings.
It’s said that “women chasing men is like a thin veil,” but in a relationship, women are usually not that forward. They won’t joke about confessing their feelings.
They’re just hinting, subtly reminding you. The future of the relationship and how it progresses depends on how you act.
Imagine a normal woman. Would she be so casual as to tell someone, “I wish you were my boyfriend”?
When a man hears this, he can only respond in two ways. One is to awkwardly laugh, pretending he doesn’t understand the joke. The other is to go with the flow and directly respond about their relationship.
So, this sentence is like the beginning of a confession, or a way to guide the other person to confess.
It’s easy to see the emotional state between two people.
For example, at a friend’s gathering, your friends might tease you about your relationship. When you go out with someone, strangers might tease you about your relationship.
At this point, both of you know what’s going on. You just don’t know the other person’s feelings and you don’t know what to do next.
But at this point, a girl who jokes about pushing the relationship forward is showing her true feelings.
If you really like her, when she makes this kind of joke, be bold! If you don’t like her, you should find a chance to tell her honestly. After all, being friends is a good option too.
Joking About Her Life
A girl and a guy work at the same company.
One day, the girl is having a really bad day. First, her boss criticizes her. Then, she gets her period and her stomach hurts. She’s feeling really down.
The guy reminds her to take a day off and go home to rest.
The girl thinks about the trouble she might face if she takes a day off. Going back home is just her by herself. It’s better to stay at the company.
At this point, she complains, “Work is so boring. I don’t want to work at all. I feel like I’m not interested in anything.”
The guy goes along with her and replies, “Then don’t work.”
The girl looks at him and jokes, “If I don’t work, you’ll support me?”
At that moment, they both stop talking. They thought the story would end there. But the guy suddenly leaves the office before it’s time to leave.
He goes to the nearest flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers. Not a big bunch, just a small bouquet of roses. He hides the roses behind his back and tells the girl to leave late today.
After all the other colleagues leave, he takes out the roses and tells her, “I’ll support you.”
The girl is very happy. She goes from being exhausted to full of energy. She happily hugs him.
When a woman complains about her life, she might want you to be a part of her life. Don’t pretend you don’t understand.
Rarely do women show their emotional needs to you. Unless you’re someone very important to her.
Joking About a Man’s Strengths and Weaknesses
When a man and a woman are friends for a long time, they inevitably talk about relationships.
At this point, you might hear her say things like, “You must have high standards for your girlfriend. Otherwise, why are you still single? You’re so great.” Or “With a guy like you, no one likes you, right?”
Many men, after hearing this, first think that she’s making fun of them, or using a joke to tease them. They might even feel a little unhappy and respond with a joke too.
But actually, even though this is a joke, it confirms two things for the woman.
One is your dating preferences. The other is whether the two of you have a chance together.
When she knows your dating preferences and your standards for choosing a girlfriend, she can compare herself to those standards and see what she needs to improve on, and whether you actually like her.
If a girl doesn’t like you, who would be so interested in your dating life, wanting to know your standards for a partner?
Many true words are hidden in jokes. Many true desires can also be expressed through jokes.
Many times, two people could have a happy ending, but they miss their chance because they don’t understand each other’s feelings.
We don’t have a God’s perspective. We don’t know if a relationship will work out. Fate and love come too quickly. If you don’t seize the opportunity, you might regret it for life.
So, when you feel someone’s love, boldly express your own love.
Compared to missing out, falling in love and having a happy memory is also a kind of happiness.
Stop saying you don’t understand someone’s jokes. Their intentional glances, their occasional physical contact, all the little details of your interactions, you already know the answer.
Go after your happiness. At least you won’t regret it.
