Have you read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?"
Most of the time, women just want to be heard, they don't actually want answers to questions. By speaking, we're actually letting all of our emotional garbage out. We might ask you a question, you can generally give a generic answer. eg. Do you think we should buy a swimming pool. The best answer here is either "Maybe" or "if you want". She generally won't go on with the conversation after this, she'll jump to some other topic. She's just dreaming - escaping everyday reality.
Men, on the other hand, don't like to speak for the sake of speaking, they prefer to only speak when necessary and therefore want a straight answer to their question. Their way of escaping is having time out for themselves - eg. having a beer with the boys, watching sport or watching TV (have you ever noticed that a man can't watch a TV show and carry on a conversation at the same time, but women can!)
If she's getting angry & you can't ever be right, the issue isn't about what she's talking about at all, it's a power struggle thing.
You need to talk to her (in a gentle way when you're both relaxed) and work out how to communicate better with each other. Explain that you want to please her but you don't know how, and that the communication is the problem. It works both ways, you probably irritating her in one way (but you're not sure how!) and she's reacting to that.
But you should definately read the book mentioned above, it's funny & really helpful. Good luck.

Hey Scott in Minnisota,
I have no idea why women get confused about sending mixed messages to their men. Yes should always mean yes and no should always mean...maybe! Just kidding. Good luck with that, hope things are better for you,

But you are supposed to be mind readers. That is a part of being in a relationship. Didn't you get the memo???

No isn't any and specific is for specific. there is not any perplexing the two. do no longer study into issues or study between the lines that could or could no longer be there. If somebody is providing you with mixed indicators, then come out and ask them approximately it. do no longer anticipate you already know what they mean.

You don't need to be a mind reader, if you know your woman well enough, you would understand the difference.

you need to know the other person deep down in order to get it. My boyfriend knows the differerence between all of them, but we have been together for years. I know it is very confusing, but once you find that special person, and know them inside and out, you will understand what they are talking about when they say those things

If they say no normally it means no
If they said noooooo.... and go up in pitch it means yes.
