Does maybe pretty much always mean no?

Answer 1

I would say 9x out of 10 it does. I wish they would just say no and get it over with.

Answer 2

if it involes a relationship or date it almost always means no, but in other contexts it can really mean maybe. such as "hey a bunch of people from (insert team/club/group of friends) are going to see (insert movie) at (insert time). you wanna come?" you respond with "maybe, i need to ask my parents first," or ,"maybe, i might be going out to eat tonight."

Answer 3

By begining with one expressions people use very often which "I Think" wich means that "You Don't Know" , I would say that "Pretty Much" always means "No".

Answer 4

Yep.

For possibility to become necessity, you need to fulfill the "unless" condition-- otherwise it remains as such: A Negative evaluation that is only something that COULD happen given MORE than what is presented.

Answer 5

it depends on who you are asking...if it is a woman, she can change her mind in a heart beat...if a man, it means no
more than likely it means no either way, but nothing is a constant

Answer 6

I don't think so. Usually when I say "maybe" it turns out to be yes...

Answer 7

So don't tell me
You might just let it go.
And often times we're lazy,
it seems to stand in my way
'cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down.

Answer 8

not always

when i flirt with hubby and he asks me somethin i'll give him a look and say maybe (he knows when i give him that look it means hell yeah)

Answer 9

Maybe........I'll get back with you on that one.

Answer 10

If you ask my kids they would say ya!
