oh my. that's what i think when i put a guy and a girl together. until recently, i'd only heard of the many communication issues that arise when a guy and girl talk. i.e., how a girl says one thing and the guy says completely another. in fact, i never thought i'd fall prey to these beautiful little idiosyncrasies. but, fall i did.
and quite soundly i might add.
but one of the things that stands out so clearly in this latest mishap of a communication blunder is how differently He created us to be.
He created the guys to take on so much of the Adam persona...and girls the Eve.
i've decided i'm gonna take a deeper look into this. if, after all, we girls are supposed to look a little like eve, being somewhat fashioned after her, then shouldn't we understand her? after all, she was the first to fall to the blame game...
the communication blunder i witnessed this past week went something like this:
Boy: you're mad at me? why are you mad at me? don't be mad at me!
Girl: well, i didn't want you to think i was pressuring when i said such and such after you were the one originating the topic! and i felt like you DID feel pressured. but, after all, it was YOU that started the whole topic of conversation. seriously.
Boy: actually, i thought you were talking about something completely different. i totally didn't realize you were saying that. huh.
Girl: yes i was saying that! how could you not have seen? it was so plain?
Boy: but this other way of looking at it was plain to me...
