I got your answer. Only because i was in the same situation a week ago. I got the definition out of her tonight when she was drunk.

This is a good thing. You aren't cliche.

"Rough around the edges" usually means a certain coarseness to your demeanor - as a rule. That is, you don't have good table manners, your speech may be peppered with profanity, you may not wear a tie - not even once in a while (unless someone dies or gets married - and even then you have to borrow the ensemble from your boss) and WD-40 is your idea of cologne. A good time generally involves pool, beer, motorcycles and hunting dogs at the local "joint." Perhaps you feel more comfortable discussing tie-rod ends than Mozart. A concert to you does not involve a symphony. And WWE is considered good television. You consider the four food groups as Meat, Caffeine, Salt and Sugar. Anything "green" is too girly for you.
In small doses, all of this is fine. But if that's all the broader your horizons are, consider yourself pretty "rough around the edges."

It is a good thing if she wants you to meet her best friend. Rough around the edges simply means that she likes you but you're a little different from everyone else, but she likes that about you, so it is a good thing. I always say, "Never be normal. It's so overrated."

She's saying that there are parts of you that she's not certain about, but that she's intrigued by that. It's the mysterious part of you that she doesn't quite "get" yet. And she likes it.
Once you guys are dating, it'll go down one of two ways depending on her.
1) If she's a controlling type of woman, she will try to "iron out" those things so that you become more like what she wants you to be or what she's used to. She'll try to change you.
2) If she's a good woman, she will stay attracted to you because of those thing, and she will appreciate them because those things contribute to you who you are.

Since you ARE speaking to this woman, ask her what behavior causes her to describe him as "rough around the edges". You probably have other people in your life who have some annoying habits as well.
What is just joking to some may be considered insensitive to others.

at the start, never, EVER mislead your general practitioner. i'm sorry, yet it extremely is the dumbest element i've got ever heard. Their activity is to look out to your wellbeing and risk-free practices. i'm additionally unsure how your cherry grew to become into popped on twist of fate, using a condom yet not having intercourse, yet it incredibly sounds... fishy. As for what occurs for the duration of a pelvic examination, somebody stated the general practitioner sticks a finger up your butt. not actual. they in many circumstances provide you a breast examination and then opt for a speculum (a "duck-bill" style device that they insert into your vagina to look at your cervix). They swab your cervix which will experience mildly uncomfortable. in addition they'll palpate your uterus - stick a finger on your vagina and press around on your abdomen to experience to your uterus. yet once you at the instant are not having intercourse, and you're in straightforward terms 14, what interior the international are you getting a pelvic examination for? Regardless, do not mislead your general practitioner. they're sworn to confidentiality, so as that they gained't tell your mothers and dads.

She was just joking with her friend. Nobody is absolutely perfect, you just look for someone who makes you laugh after a hard day and who makes you feel safe and loved. After that you work through the little things that bother each other. Smile, she likes you.

was the "rough around the edges" directed at you?
means you're not refined. like an englishman.
means you're aggressive and bold, rather than elegant.
and it means that she's gonna mold you. beware, unless you like a control-freak or savior-syndromed lady.

It means your not perfect there are some things about you that could use some work, but if she was laughing then she was probably just joking.
