Question

What if it's just someone passing by talking to their friends and I hear them say something about me?

Community Answer

Either ignore it or calmly confront them about it. Just say something like, "Did you just say my name?" or, "Are you talking about me?" If they say no, just let it go. It's just gossip, and it's not worth getting upset over.

Question

If some say there is enough room in the car, and I reply yes, how would you take it?

Community Answer

It depends entirely on your tone of voice and/or facial expression. If you just said "yes" neutrally, it would seem you're simply agreeing with them.

Question

A girl asked me if I wanted to have sex and I couldn't tell if she was sarcastic . Did I ruin it?

It depends on the context! If you were in an intimate situation or had a relationship of some sort (sexual or romantic) and the situation was appropriate, maybe she just wanted to ask if you wanted to have intercourse with her. Or, if you were in a public place/inappropriate situation/surrounded by friends, you do not have any type of relationship and her tone of voice is sarcastic or jokey, then she was just messing around.
