What Men Say On Dates Versus What They Really Mean

What Men Say On Dates Versus What They Really Mean

Tired of the all coded language and cliches guys use during dates?

Dating expert Matthew Hussey and YouTuber-actress Anna Akana are here to help. In a new joint video, Hussey sits in on Akana’s way-too-relatable faux first date and breaks down some vague statements.

For instance, when the guys smiles and says “you’re pretty intimidating,” what he really means is: “I’m afraid that my normal ways of impressing someone won’t work on you and I’m trying to make that your fault.”

And when he says “my exes are crazy,” it’s safe to assume he means: “I cause sane people to do crazy sh*t.”

Watch the video for more decoded dude-on-a-date language.
