“I think we should see other people.”

What he says: “I think we should see other people.”
What he really means: He loves messing around with you, but he would like to do that with other women, too. Take it from John Brown, 36, a screenwriter in Los Angeles, who admits to having a “friend” who has pulled this stunt. “When a guy says he thinks you should see other people, he wants to ‘see’ if you’d be willing to let him sleep with other women, guilt-free,” Brown explains. “He still thinks you’re hot — if he didn’t, he’d completely end things — but he doesn’t want all of the obligations that come along with being your boyfriend.” (Remember, John Brown’s just the messenger, people… but he has a point.)
