He said that he would try it

Hi Pete , Thank you very much for the advice. It means a lot to me and it really clear out my confusion . I never think that One more question , you said “Men can feel ” Do you mind to expand this explanation for me , or maybe list several reasons why a man would be physically attracted to a woman , but not interested to One more question , if that guy is only physically attracted to me for now , is it possible that he will be interested in committing an romantic relationship with me ? If you think it is possible , is there anything I can try ? Based on your advice, I know that I should move on and look for other guys instead , but I am wondering if I can still " wait for that guy " while looking for more options? Or do you think it will does more harm to me ? Again thank you very much for taking time to give advice. I really appreciate it ! Yogeda Hi Yogeda and you're very welcome. Physical attraction is normally a sight thing. A guy will see you and find you attractive...or not. There's no thinking about it all. It just happens and is beyond his control. Nature has given men an instinctual trigger which makes them FEEL this way. A man doesn't decide to be attracted to you which also makes it impossible for you to talk a man into feeling it. The thought process always comes after and based on many things a man will then decide if he's interested in you... or not. There are many factors which will push him one way or another. Some of them are about you: • Your personality....

Should I reach out to him? Beautiful Jude writes about the situation she's in, wondering why he hasn't called when he said he would, and I know so many of us can relate to this one! Here's her email: So afraid of being vulnerable and of finding out How do I approach this without sounding like a lunatic and without compromising myself? Is it OK to say "I was expecting to hear from you; is all OK?" Then - Jude My Response: Is there anything that triggers us more than this? It’s not just that he didn’t call when he said he would; it’s what it does to us. It’s the second-guessing it leads us to do on ourselves. It’s the fears it brings up in us, the awareness of who we are - and who we aren’t - that it sheds a light on. And maybe more than anything else, it’s the self-doubt that calls everything into question that does the most damage. Was I just imagining things were going so well? Was I a fool to believe he felt the same way about me as I did about him? The self-disparaging words flow so wrongfully directed. It can’t help but make you feel so needy, Jude. “So afraid of being vulnerable and of finding out he’s not as committed as I hoped. And that I’ll put up with it.” Oh you’ve captured exactly what goes on here inside us in moments like this. This is exactly why it affects us so much. Because it reveals what we know – and so much that we don’t. To understand this and have this awareness is huge! Huge! Be proud of yourself first for having the insight to go there. It’s never...

Dear all Which of the following is correct: 1. He said he will call me back next week. 2. He said he would call be back next week. Because "next week" is coming, so the action is not happened yet; I personally think the first sentence is correct. However, a few people tell me the second one is. They say that we need to obey the tense sequence. Similarly, which one of the following is correct: 1. I did not think you are at work today. 2. I did not think you were at work today. (The person is actually working at the time the sentence is spoken.) Thank you very much. 1. He said he will call me back next week. 2. He said he would call me back next week. 1. I did not think you are at work today. 2. I did not think you were at work today. said works differently from thought and knew. With said you can switch to the present point of view in the subordinate clause; this is especially useful if you are merely repeating something you just heard -- though, even in this case, the past in the subordinate clause is fine. -- I'm ready! -- What did he say? -- He said he's ready. / He said he was ready. -- I'll call you soon. -- What did he say? -- He said he'll call you soon. / He said he would call you soon. -- What did he say when he talked to you last week? -- He said he would call me soon. With thought and knew, use only the past point of view in the subordinate clause even if the meaning applies to present or future time. I didn't know you were at work today. I didn't think they had ...

Hello I am having confused on the usage of past tense with future tense. If I say "John said he would come here tomorrow" then does this mean that he will come tomorrow? Or it would be better to write "He said he will come tomorrow." I think past tense and future tense should not come together in one sentence. So I think it would be better to write in the form below. "John said he would come here tomorrow" or "John says he will come here tomorrow" Hello, quantum zero. As you probably know already, English is a flexible language that's spoken by many millions of people. Not all speakers pay much attention to the rules proposed by various grammarians. You are asking about the validity of "He said he will come tomorrow". Although I agree with you that it's better to use this form - John said he would come here tomorrow - I've often heard fluent speakers use sentences like "John said he will come here tomorrow", which mixes tenses. The meaning of both forms is the same: John said he would come here tomorrow = John said he will come here tomorrow. The two versions you suggested - John says he will come here tomorrow and John said he would come here tomorrow - are fine. If I were thinking about my grammar while I was speaking, I'd probably use one of those two versions. Is it the same for the following sentence? "Dean said that he was going to let me say my piece and that then he was going to come out here and kick the hell out of me". I heard a native speaker saying this but, p...
