Girls, girls, girls...

Have you ever noticed the way that girls are always totally over analyzing things? I was talking to a friend the other day about past relationships, and he said that sometimes boys just do things without thinking and then regret them later. I, however, am convinced that maybe that is the way to go. It's so funny to me (even while I'm doing it) that we females seem determined to think everything to death. And they thought women were mindless in the olden days! I don't know a single girl who has never gone over every word of a mixed sex conversation afterward with her friends trying to determine "what it all meant."

Girl: So today I saw Jared and said hello, and then he said hi back.
Friend: Omigosh, no way. What did you say then?
Girl: Oh I totally smiled and he smiled too, and then walked on past.
Friend: Omigosh.
Girl: So what do you think, does he like me?

And then they will proceed to discuss this innocuous incident for at least a week, or until "Jared" unthinkingly smiles at her again.

I mean really, why do we do this? If this were a real life scenario, then it's dollars to donut holes that the poor boy probably didn't even notice she was there! Sometimes I wish I was a boy, life would be much simpler I'm sure. But then I guess I'd spend all kinds of time being confused by girls and how they always seem to misunderstand the things boys do.
