I don't like it when they ask what I'm thinking.
Exactly. The fact is, I may not be aware of what I am thinking at that moment, and in fact, I may be thinking, “I could strangle her, but where would I hide the body.”
My wife used to ask me that a lot. I started always answering, "About sex." Now she hardly ever asks :)
I have a good male friend who when I get a certain look on my face will ask, "What are you thinking?" then shake his head and laugh, "I'm not supposed to ask that."
He said that many times when a woman asks a man that it's usually nothing more profound than I wonder what I'll have for lunch tomorrow...
‘What are you thinking?’ Female here. I was still a teenager when I asked my first long-term boyfriend that a few times and was astounded, I mean completely flabbergasted, to find out that often he wasn’t really thinking of anything at all. (No one in my family was like that.)
My eyes opened about the possible nature of the other sex, I’ve not asked that question for a couple of decades now. Truth be told, however, there are men who are always thinking, usually in an interesting way, and there’s no need to ask them that question.
A male prostitute on the streetcorner approaches a car driven by a woman. She rolls down her window and he makes his pitch: "It'll talk to ya honey! I got feelings! I'll talk to ya all night long!"
My wife has always stressed how important it is to tell the truth.
One fine summer evening years ago while we were sitting on the patio watching the sunset, with the steaks on the grill and birds chirping in the trees, she asked me what I was thinking.
Trying to be the good husband, I told her the truth. I said that I was thinking about what style of chrome rims I wanted to get for my big ol’ 4X4 truck.
I was in the dog house for years after that!
