But the problem is no didn't mean "No". Nor did it mean "I don't want to spend time with you" as your girl interpeted it. It meant (paraphrasing) "There are sports coming on that I've really been looking forward to watching. And while I greatly enjoy being around you, the store where you want to go is quite possibly the most boring place on earth, and I'd rather not go there without a specific need. If you could wait and let me watch a game (or two), if we could reschedule, or if we could pick a different destination, I'd be more than happy to accompany you..." Women think they can read our minds, but since they can't they fill in any gray areas with the worst possible interpetation of anything you've said recently. Does saying the extra fifty words cost you 30 seconds of precious sports watching/beer drinking/cleavage oggling time on the couch? Yes, but it saves you so much more apologizing-for-unintentional-insults-and-slights time later. Articulate your feelings and communicate them, and if she still doesn't care she's not worth having.

Holy Schitt. :Q Rayster nailed it!

And for some reason, women expect guys to be able to read their minds. "What's wrong, honey?" "Nothing."
God, that aggravates the hell out of me. :|

Oh ya, forget about it because it's so common. Toss:
Me :What's wrong?"
her: "nothing."

In the coversation last night maybe 2 times.

This may be impossible, but I think we're starting to figure out how women work. We should collect some concepts from here to write a book. It might only be 10 pages thick, but that would probably encompass 10 years of research.

Should I just get drunk and ignore her?
This would probably be a bad idea.

Relationships are about compromise. Perhaps you could have gone shopping with her and then asked her to do something with you?
