does she really get it?

SO I have a new friend.  Well she is old .. but some how so fast the relationship has changed direction and we have been swept of our feet and things are moving at a thousand miles per hour.

It is good and my mind has been granted a pause of thinking about the negative things that impact me.



So anyway last night she said "You have kind hands." ... something simple and nice to which I replied;



"Thank You that was a nice comment to say." ..

and what she replied shocked me.

"Oh no .. I I meant it as an observation not as a compliment. But if you see it as a compliment take it as such.  I was just making a comment on something that I see as a truth; and it just so happens to please you."



Well I don't what most peoples reaction is.  But for me I have said this before.  I told my Ex about her comeliness and she loved it.  She thought I was trying to be nice.  No ..  I was simply making an observation on something I deemed to be true.

It does not mean you don't wish them to feel good.  It does not mean that you would not care to compliment them.  It is just simply sometimes certain fact exist and they make people feel good.

I said almost the exact same words in a previous relationship and that female flipped out calling me insensitive.  But now .. a female is using those words with me ..and it sticks in my head ... Does she really get it?

I think she does.
