When a guy says "I suppose" rather than "I will"

[Vee72]

I've been seeing this guy since March of 2010. He's a really busy man and so I rarely get to see him. We were texting the other night wanting to make plans and I asked him when he will have time for me. His response back was, "Time is pretty scarce but I suppose I can find time for you :P"

Now my question is, what do you guys think about that text back? It bugs me a little bit because if he did want to spend time with me wouldn't he be more straight forward and say "I will find time for you" rather than "i suppose I can find time for you"? But then I'm stumped because of the tongue face ( :P ) because usually when someone says I suppose I'll do something for you :P it would mean they're kind of just playing around sarcastically?

I dunno... it's probably a really minor issue and I think I'm thinking too much about it but it is bugging me... So guys, what do you think?

I do this all the time...i say "maybe" or "i suppose" and I really do mean "i will" and this obviously aggrivates people woman and men alike. It could just be that or perhaps he really does mean I suppose and not "i will" and doesn't really want to find time for you or its just not that important.

I wouldn't look too much into it, when you pick and over-analyze things thoughts that you shouldn't have start popping up in your head.

Hope I helped

Some guys say it just to joke, especially if you added the tongue face. I do it all the time, it should be implied and understood that, "yes, I will find time for you." Otherwise, he probably would have avoided answering the question altogether.

You are thinking about it WAY too much.

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean anything by that at all, other than he's willing to spend time with you.

I think he was being sarcastic.
