<p>Women ask questions when they are intrigued by a man. A completely uninterested woman would simply not reply to the cat pictogram, or would blow it off with her own non sequitur.</p>
<p>That phrase &#8220;&#8230;I guess&#8221; is also telling. Translating from the womanese, <em>&#8220;&#8230;I guess&#8221;</em> means <em>&#8220;&#8230;I guess I don&#8217;t know what you think about me, and it&#8217;s driving me nuts.&#8221;</em></p>
