How often have you heard the phrases: "Men are so stupid," or "Women are way too complicated!"

These generally have something to do with one sex or the other misinterpreting what the other has said. Here are just a few examples, and fortunately for you, we have had a couple decipher what these phrases mean.

1. Let's go shopping!

From the girlfriend's perspective: I really need to find a dress for formal. But boys don't like department stores so I'll have to wait till the girls are available again... Hmm I could use some new perfume and there are some sales on some super cute stuff at Pink. And I wonder if he'll be okay if we spend an hour or two in Bath and Body Works.....

From the boyfriend's perspective: I do need groceries.

2. I need a drink.

From the girlfriend's perspective: Do I get a Mike's or a Smirnoff? I could maybe handle rum... Tequila shots? Well, I mean I'll do my best to keep my clothes on. Thanks, Joe Nichols.

From the boyfriend's perspective: I mean it is a Tuesday.

3. Wanna come over?

From the girlfriend's perspective: Oh my gosh... I need to shave my legs. And where are my cute shorts that can pass as pajamas? And crap, these heels are horrible for the walk of shame.

From the boyfriend's perspective: Want to get naked?

4. Want to go home this weekend with me?

From the girlfriend's perspective: Yeah, awesome, of course! *begins internally panicking* What does this mean? What has he told his parents about me? Crap, what should I wear? *begins making mental packing list*

Male perspective: I am going home with you this weekend.

5. So we're a couple, right?

From the girlfriend's perspective: Well it's about time. Wait - he did just say couple, right? YAS. Let the Instagram couple pictures begin. What's a good hashtag? OMG I HAVE TO CALL THE GIRLS. WE NEED TO DISSECT THIS RIGHT. NOW.

Male perspective: I thought that was obvious.

Best of luck with communicating your feelings with your special someone!
