The truth is men and women are wired differently, and because of this, they see the world in different ways and sometimes respond to things differently. So while, as a lady, your female friends can say some things to you and you would interpret it as intended, it is not always the same with the male folks. What they say is sometimes different from what you might think they mean; which is why if you want to have a good relationship with men, either it is a platonic relationship or romantic one, it is essential you know the world of men and have a fair idea of how they think, what they say and what they mean when they say some certain words. So, here goes:

Just because a man is flirting with you does not mean he loves you. It might be surprising to read this, but it’s the truth. Sometimes, men flirt because they are attracted to you and not because they love you or want to have a relationship with you. So, even if a man’s body language says that he wants you, it doesn’t mean that he wants to be with you. So don’t be quick to assume that the man loves you or wants to date you; wait for him to tell you explicitly that he loves you and wants to date you before you conclude on anything.
When a man says he is single, he doesn’t mean he is actually single. Don’t let this be of a shock to you, but when a man says he is single, sometimes it might mean he has not found the person he wants to marry, not that he is not in a relationship, or he does not have sexual partners. So, the next time a man tells you he is single, be sure to find out from him if he has any sexual partners, or if he is dating anyone before you conclude that he is completely alone.
