Translating Man-Speak
2. You can see other people
The ‘you can see other people’ line is tricky. It’s typically a cover up for “I’m seeing other people”. Often dudes still want access to the cookie (new term that sounds better than box) but don’t want to come right out and say it. So he puts it on you with the “I don’t mind if you see other people” line. When you respond, “Are you going to see other people” he says “I’m not seeing anyone else.” It’s a lie.
