Did you ever feel your relationship was the polar opposite of the Radio Shack commercial?

You've got questions, but he doesn't have answers.
 
Do you want to know what your dude is thinking, feeling, wanting (ooooh, here's my cue for a subliminal message - "Call me!")?  Are you so frustrated you have decided to have a discussion with him about it, tonight even?
 
Tread lightly, and whatever you do, don't break that news of the upcoming demise of the evening ahead of time.  If you clue him in to the fact that you want to play a rousing game of Let's Talk Emotions, he's going to come down with a sudden case of the Anythingbutthat-itis.
 
Rule No. 1 -- Never, ever, tell a guy you need to "talk."  He's smart enough to know it's a no-win situation unless he plans to imitate a bobble-head.
 
I'll use this analogy:  If I want to give Lilith, Dog of Wonder, a bath to maintain her sparkling whiteness, I don't say, "Yo, let's do a bath," because she'll suddenly find something really important to do under, say, the table or the bed, anywhere out of reach. 
 
Now your dude may not run if you mention something involving nakedness and nice silky suds, but Lili is to baths as a man is to talking emotions -- avoidance at all cost.
 
Instead, lure him in, for example, with a juicy steak --hey, that works with Lili, too. What I mean is, plan something pleasurable, welcome him in, and then, my fiendish one, you close the door. 
 
Don't expect miracles.  Mr. Strong and Silent is NOT going to suddenly start crooning "When A Man Loves A Woman." 
 
Decide what vital info you need ahead of time.  Don't try to cover too much ground at once. Take baby steps, get in and out of the convo, and move on to the as-promised pleasurable part of the evening or he'll think it's a trap. 
 
Lastly, above all, do NOT ask him what his intentions are. You will be extremely disappointed.
 
Intentions?  His intentions are to watch the game, eat the steak, play kissy-face or other enjoyable pursuits. 
 
Honestly, did you think he had a road map for your relationship?  You know dudes don't ask for directions. They just drive down the road trying to have a good time and see where it takes them.
 
Come to think of it, that's not a bad plan.  You might want to borrow it.
