FAQ

Why did she say "wym"?

Usually it's genuine, something you said was vague or worded in a way that could mean two things. It's not automatically a red flag, treat it as a chance to clarify with confidence.

Should I explain myself a lot after "wym"?

No, keep the clarification short and confident. Over-explaining reads as nervous and makes a small ambiguity feel like a bigger deal than it is.

Is "wym" a bad sign?

Not inherently, it's just a request for clarity. The tone of the rest of her message and the conversation overall tells you more than this one phrase does.

How do I clarify without sounding defensive?

Restate your point plainly or add a playful twist instead of apologizing. Confidence in the clarification matters more than the exact words you use.
