Hello! Good to see you around again. I hope it's good you are seeing me around as well. This post will be looking basically into some statements that we usually just accept hook, line and sinker. Well, that's no problem but in some cases, these statements may not exactly translate to what the individual infer. So what do you do? Take a few more steps forward by asking one or two questions to ascertain before deciding your next action.

This post brings to you five of those range of statements. Are you getting bored already? No, no, no! Not now, so get your favourite drinks and sip gently as you satisfy your curiosity. Now you'll surely think of some people as you read through. Happy moments.

I AM FINE: this is quite common to both genders but particularly females. But these statements usually occur when they are not in the right mood, when they don't feel like talking or just emotionally unbalanced. The individuals in question would simply reply "I am fine". However, they won't say nothing again if they are not questioning further. We should push them speak up by asking few more questions like: "are you sure?", "You don't sound or look fine", amongst others. These sets of questions will to some extent help to know the actual state they are and help them speak up if eventually something is wrong or sorts.

So hey! When someone tells you that, don't just stop at that but push further because if something is truly not fine, perhaps one will find out.

DON'T WORRY: This usually comes up when we tend to offer assistance or help others. They are like " don't worry, I can handle it"; "oh thanks, I can handle it" and so on. Hey wait! Are you backing out already? Give it one or two more tries and see what happens next. If they actually don't want your help at the moment, they'll insist. But if it is the other way then you'll be permitted and allowed to help them out. However, some of us back out on first attempt basically because they don't want to help out in the first place though not in all cases.

Two or more tries won't kill right? Lets get this working going on!

NO PROBLEM: This doesn't totally infer that there is no problem but perhaps not as much as we may think. I can remember I was once accompanying someone off and told her I would be going back at a point which she responded positively. However, on reaching the point and decided to go back, she was like "and you want to go back here?" which was quite surprising and funny! I can't remember clearly the scenario but she was either going to board a bus from the nearest garage to her home or going to get something from the market.

In some instances the statement "no problem" is indeed the real problem or the person being spoken to. Sometimes it can statement to test you. So find out! these are things that cements a friendship or relationship.

IT'S OKAY: This is quite related to the statement "I'm fine" but particularly about something in relation to the person. Sometimes when people say this, it doesn't totally mean they are satisfied with the results but it can mean you have have tried enough and don't want to be further stressed about it or something similar. For instance after assisting  someone with some home arrangements and they probably observed that you're looking tired, they'll tell you what you've done is okay even if they are not totally satisfied but because they want to relieve you. So the next time someone tells you this, ask them "are you sure?". Most likely, they'll still modify their reply and if not then you are good to go.

SUITE YOURSELF: Yeah, everyone likes freedom or the ability to be left to do whatever or choose from options. This however should not be abused for "suite yourself" can be a measure of how can conduct him/herself, or how one can either make use or abuse opportunities and the likes. Even when you are asked to, ask questions for instance; "can I seat here?", "can I have that drink?", "can I use the restroom?" and so on but not just doing everything because you have been asked to "suite yourself!"

So gentlemen and ladies, I want to believe this to some extent have been able to reshape our perspectives towards some of these statement. Have a good time and see you around!

Can I speak to you?

Yeah sure!

What about the statement "give her the seat, she is a woman." why should I accept that statement, are we not equal.

Please guys don't go further with those statements especially with Nigerian babes cos the end result is always not economical....... if she says she's fine then by all means she is why poke the bear

Randy100:

Well that is a personal that is based on either respect or just being a gentle man.
My opinion though
