Men, Here’s What ‘I’m Fine’ Means Coming From Your Girlfriend
The two most deceptive words in the English dictionary are "I'm fine."
When this phrase comes from your girlfriend, it could mean anything. She could genuinely be fine or plotting on how to break up with you. It's a crapshoot, but if you know the possible meanings, that will help you a little more.
Read on and find out what she could mean when she says "I'm fine."
Ask Me One More Time And We Won't Be
If you've asked her what the issue was and she says she's fine, she might really be okay. If you continue to ask her when this is the case, you're on thin ice.
I'd Rather Be In Bed
You've been here before. You two watch a late-night movie on Netflix, and she seems a little irritable. When you ask what's wrong, it's "Nothing, I'm fine," but she'd probably rather be asleep.
I Don't Want To Argue Right Now
"I'm fine" is often a ploy to extinguish the fire. If an argument might take place, saying "I'm fine" is her way of keeping things civil so there won't be any yelling.
You Blew It, Now I'm Not Talking To You For A While
Unfortunately, men mess things up with their women often. It isn't on purpose; it's just how this cookie crumbles. When they've done something utterly dumb, she won't want to talk for a while even after saying "I'm fine."
I Just Want Cuddles
She doesn't want to vent about it anymore, and she wants you to hush your mouth. Sometimes, "I'm fine" is a neutral or positive statement. In some cases, it could mean she wants to cuddle with you now, so just be quiet.
I'm Done With Your Lies
"I'm fine" can also be a silent killer. If you did something to rupture the relationship again and she hits you with the famous phrase, you might be in trouble.
You Annoy Me To Death
Not every guy does this or gets to this point, but they can become annoying to their partner. If her tone sounds disturbed or nonchalant when she says it, you probably worked her last nerve or she's taking a moment to admire your goofiness.
Can I Just Go Shopping?
Who says retail therapy can't help boost your mood (but lower your bank account significantly)? She could say "I'm fine" so that she could hurry and go do some self-care instead of listening to you and getting more stressed out.
I Don't Want To Be Here Right Now
Some places aren't as inviting to her as others. These places include her work with one hour left before leaving or your parent's house. Unless she's blunt, she isn't going to tell you how much she hates going to your old home with the future in-laws.
Coffee, NOW
Coffee can cure a lot once that caffeine high starts. If she hasn't had any for the day, her mood might be off a bit if she's a lover of the beans.
I Just Want Netflix All Day
She's magnificent, and Netflix is the only thing running through her mind. There's a show she can't wait to finish, and you're getting in her way, so she's okay.
Mother Nature Is Giving Me A Hard Time
It's not always the case, but it can get brutal when it's that time of the month. Don't chalk every attitude she has to this, because you'll know when it's real.
I Just Need Food
If she gets hangry, it's wise if you'd help satisfy her food needs as fast as you can. It will help diffuse the situation before she really gets upset at you.
Everyone Else Is Just Dumb
She isn't upset, she only came to the realization that not many people understand her that well. You probably weren't the one to spark the "I'm fine" statement.
Stress Is Mounting
You probably don't notice all the things that stress her at work or in her everyday life. It eventually starts building up. Soon enough, pressure mounts too high and "I'm fine" becomes an excellent defense mechanism.
I Just Want Compliments
There are only a few men and women who don't like the occasional ego stroke. If she didn't tell you outright already, she probably won't admit she wants some compliments. Say something nice about her hair and outfit.
Working Out Is My Priority Right Now
Losing or missing out on gains gets rough. A determined gym-goer will not hesitate to tell you she's fine so that she can hurry back and get her workout going.
Stop Talking
This one is simple and you probably won't have a hard time recognizing it. If she says "I'm fine" with a stern glare, keep those two lips of yours sealed until further notice.
This Is Just My Face
Sometimes, people can't help that their natural face looks like they're staring into your soul. Some call it "resting [expletive] face." If this is how she is, you'll probably get confused 50% of the time.
You're A Terrible Listener
Men love to solve problems. If she brings up issues and you immediately turn to give advice or get easily distracted, she simply says things are fine when you ask her.
