What does this mean?

Post Reply New Topic

So today I had my GF sign my yearbook. To get straight to the point this is what she wrote
"We have math together God bless you." there are no drawing to go with it. The only other thing is names. Is there more than the clearly visible meaning? And why "God bless you" I assume that's a good thing but not entirely sure.

Maybe she said it as a term of endearment?
Is she highly religious?

I wouldn't pick her as highly religious, this is the first time she has mentioned anything of the sort. I've also said before that I'm not religious.

It seems like the kind of message a stranger would write.

are you questioning the whole message or just the "God bless you" part?

How long have you two been going out? The whole message seems so general. Like she could have written it to anyone in her math class. Does she have a sense of humor? If so I could see her being general on purpose to be funny. Other than that, it seems a bit odd.

Guess she was just insecure to write anything a long term gf would write so wrote something in the style of any other person that would sign your yearbook. Wouldn't look into it too much.

It's possible. I think it depends on her personality. Personally I would have put a bunch of hearts on there or something and something sappy. But not everyone wants to put all of that out there. Hey why don't you just ask her?

did you help her to do maths? (and is thanking you?)

This answer makes sense to me, she is a shy person and I guess didn't have much to say. Its also been short/medium-term (5 months) but with my shyness practically nothing has happened so more may not have been approiate in her mind. One inconsistency is the style other people write is using "love" and hearts for friends so she didn't try to match those.

Maybe I am overthinking this, but I'd rather be safe and eliminate the possibility of this meaning more before I conclude it doesn't.

My impression is that she is writing it from the standpoint of not knowing if this relationship will last in the long term & therefore whether or not you will remember her as important to your heart in the future.
Thus, she wrote something that doesn't invest too much of herself, so it is safe no matter how things turn out between you.

The 'God bless you' part is just a positive, yet neutral wish for you & your life.

It may be the pessimist in me but I don't like the sound of this. You make it sound like she Is preparing for it to end in the next few weeks/months. I understand the safe part but I've seen her write a heart next to my name before, that would still keep it safe incase of the worst but still acknowledge the relationship happened. Like I said that may be the pessimist in me, but my young (and probably incorrect) mind sees the connection.

This is what I wondered. Do you help her understand math?

I was thinking more like many years ahead, because it's difficult to predict the length of the relationship at this early (5 month) stage.

No need to be pessimistic, this could last forever, it's just too early to tell, and her message is applicable in the event of an ending or an enduring continuation...it works either way.

First so the few of you can rest happy, I have helped her with some math but she has a higher grade in the class than me, not sure if she knows that but she does.

Second, thanks for the positiveness (specifically Thinktrees with your last post). She I one of the only people I would honestly call friend (it's only 3 people but she doesn't know this, I figure it's a turn off so I let her believe the dozen 'friends' I'm usually around are real) and the only one within and hour drive. I'm not prepared to lose her and such a short vague message worried me.

She is literally saying "Thank you so much for helping me get through math class. I really appreciate it".

She could have written something sweeter, but maybe she's a little shy.

Be very careful with "This means That" thinking... it can often result in very serious errors in speculation.
