Hi Robert, I would agree that saying maybe just leaves the person you say it to kind of in limbo. And I also agree that I say it too much, but enjoy saying it, but hate when people say it to me lol. .-= Love Graphics´s last blog ..A beautiful women =-.

You spot on here, maybe doesn’t mean you have too – it just keeps the door open if you want to take advantage of an opportunity or an event.

Maybe implies two different directions in developing the situation.You can choose the necessary one from inside which is more suitable for you in the present moment.

Mari, welcome to Reason-4-Smile.
I believe it’s your first comment here. I haven’t got a chance to read your article. From a glance, the design is really neat and professional, magazine-like. And the blog tagline, it’s very interesting, Life on Canvas =) Our life is really an art, a masterpiece as you say.
Thanks for sharing your thought here!
Maybe not as indecisiveness, but as opportunities…
I like how you say it. =)

Thanks and keep in touch!
Robert

Yup yup, we are all like that I guess. We like to say maybe, and we don’t like to receive a maybe.

Avani’s idea is a great one. Responding ‘maybe’ with the reasons and conditions can help.
Otherwise, I think it’s better to say that you cannot commit into it.
It’s better to say no, but eventually you do it, rather than saying yes, but eventually you cannot make it. That will at least prepare our audience to look for the alternatives.

Thanks for the responses, glad that it can generate some discussion.
Eventually, maybe has pros and cons.

I always get scolded with the maybes. They never understand that is more a matter that I want my opportunities to be open, than indecisiveness. My culture has the bad custom of saying yes to everything, I am trying hard to get that out of my system, as we always regret at some point after we go “sure , no problem”… ehmmm “oops, i forgot i had to meet xxxx” hahaha

There are many time when we get confused and we can’t decided that what we have to do know. I hate these kind for conditions.

When one has clouded mind and not sure shot answer to a question one can definately opt for “may be” term. It broadens the limitations of language along with your answer.

Haha yes I love saying maybe, but I hate it when others say it tehe. Maybe is a great way to leave the option still open but not mandatory. Its true you cannot please everyone, so if you get offered to do something, and you say maybe, and later get offer to do a better something you can cancel on the other one! Maybe is a great tool. Also College waitlists are a type of “maybes” just for a thought, colleges are turning more and more to their waitlists as students nowadays are applying to at least 5 schools.

Till then,
