Re: Let us welcome Alokasarkar S.
Bob never said that she would maybe answer her own questions. He said "Or answering them", referring to your syntagm "math questions".

Bob,
What I did?
'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Don't you believe in motivation?

Hi Agnishom;
Of course.
It was a joke that was playing on Bob Bundy's post. No one got it so I guess it was not funny. It was not about anything you did. I was kidding Bob.

Re: Let us welcome Alokasarkar S.
NoNo I know that she is angry with me.
I cant be happy when someone is angry with me especially if its Aloka
Why does she misunderstand me so much?

Re: Let us welcome Alokasarkar S.
hi Agnishom
She agreed to forgive me!
I hadn't realised you'd done anything to deserve it but never mind, the correct response is flowers or chocolates.
Dr John Gray was (is ?) a relationship councellor. He published this book in 1992. Some people have poured scorn on it but I think he has got it right.
He uses the idea that men and women are like separate species co-existing here on planet Earth. He uses many examples to show how what one gender says (and does) gets misunderstood by the other. And having provided a translation he then goes on to advise how you can improve communication by learning to speak the other's language.
It's well written and quite amusing. And I think it will help you to understand girls. It would be equally beneficial for a girl trying to understand boys. If you can borrow a copy from a library or pick it up cheaply on the net, that would be best as it means it hasn't cost you anything if you don't find it helpful.

Hi Agnishom;
My problems with them started when I was 10 years old. Been working hard on understanding them ever since. Just want you to know all guys have to go through what you are experiencing right now.

Re: Let us welcome Alokasarkar S.
Modification to my earlier advice about flowers (or chocolates)
step (i). flowers or chocolates
step (ii) You tell her how sorry you are to have upset her so much and suggest the following way to prevent a recurrance:
step (iii) you see her a lot more often, spend hours getting to know what might upset her and what won't; then you won't make the same mistake again.
Bob
ps. As Alokananda is a member, she may, as we write, be reading all of this. So she will know how devastated you are at having upset her. And she is probably thinking right now, butt out guys and let us get on with it. I don't blame her.
