Why Men and Women Have Trouble Communicating

A REAL conversation between my friend and a waitress.

The waitress is fairly attractive and there were three of us (male) sitting at a cafe. My friend went inside to pay the bill.

Friend: Aren't you a little cold?

Waitress: My shift ends in a half hour.

About 30 minutes later, my friend, unclear if he missed a signal or not from the waitress, returned to the cafe to inquire about the waitress's availability. The waitress says she has a significant other. "My shift ends in a half hour" is only a normal answer to a limited number of questions, most of them asking when one will finish working.
