can't understand


Question Posted Thursday July 24 2008, 10:21 pm

Alright, well right now, i am sort of "talking" to this guy. Whenever he calls me on the phone and he talk or asks me questions, sometimes, i can't understand what he is saying and i ask him "what?" a dozen times and he seems like he is kind of annoyed but his voice is really hard to hear when he talks low and i don't want to sound like a total dork or anything with bad hearing problems and i defeintly don't want to tell him. Also, i think i may be coming off mean because he said he was going to do something tomorrow and i was like "thats boring" and then he didn't really say anything and sometimes i just do that when i like a guy and i don't want to let him know that. Any help?

There's nothing wrong with telling him that you have a very bad connection and everything sounds faint. It's better you tell him that you can't hear him then let him think you aren't listening nor interested.

That's how you lose someone. Tell him your phone is very wonky and you'll call him back on another extension. What's so hard about that? If you like him than tell him you do or start acknowledging him at school.

Someone has to make a move or you won't get together. Let him know you weren't trying to be mean but that you couldn't hear a word he said on the phone. Telling him "could you please speak louder?" isn't a difficult thing. It means you can hear him if he does. It's silly and actually stupid not to tell him that. It will avoid a ton of misunderstandings over what he said and what you didn't hear.

I know you said you don't want to tell him, but if you can't hear him, you should just tell him that he is speaking too low and you can't hear him, because it's better if you just tell him because he will get really annoyed if you just keep saying "what?" a lot. Try to top putting him down with "thats boring" if you like him, because he'll think he did something wrong and it's definitely not the right image to give him if you like him. It's okay to let a guy know that you like him - depends on the situation though, but just try to stop putting down the stuff that he's doing. hope this helped some.
