Love Lost in Translation!





You've felt the effects of love. Lots of hugs and kisses and everything else in between. Then why is it that two people in love rarely hear or understand each other?

Here's an example. Conversation after a date: You say: "I had a great time, should I call you?" She thinks: "He's trying to get rid of me" and says "Yeah, sure. Thanks for tonight. See you soon." You think: "Is she interested or what? Screw it; I'm not going to humiliate myself."

Communication gaps between both sexes has been an issue long unresolved. It accounts for pretty much for all the divorces and serial incidents. Now, a new guide by TV psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos effectively titled 'What Men Say, What Women Hear' should set the record straight for both sexes.

Dr Papadopoulos (say that quick!) has researched "manspeak" by analyzing typical conversations between men and women; it has revealed what exactly goes on in a man's head! Women don't exactly escape Linda's astute observations; girls shouldn't think negatively about men when they're actually genuine. Men do not have a pre-rehearsed set of words to say, so it's wrong to prejudge their expectations! Finally, reading Linda's book can help men and women rethink the way they conversations after meeting the parents or at times of emotional unavailability.

Great, Linda is after our own hearts! More information for our lovely ladies... if you're unsure he's interested, the best way is to ask him directly
