it happens every once in a while. A girl I know very well starts taking cheap shots at me for some unknown reason. Now I'm a pretty smart guy, and I know exactly what to say to make someone hurt but I don't want to. that said it seems like when girls in particular get mad, they become very very irrational and very willing to say things that have nothing to do with the problem at hand. One time I decided to fight back and say something that made one of my ex girfriends become silent as a church mouse then break down in tears seconds after she was screaming at me and hitting me. I don't want to do that ever again, what's a better solution?
