As you know, there are certain differences in male and female logic. So in the phrases said, absolutely different meanings can be laid. Men and women, when uttering the phrase "maybe", can mean opposite meanings.
Masculine "maybe"
Men, as a rule, are not prone to metaphors and riddles, and their vague answers indicate personal doubts and insecurities. When a man doesn't know what to answer, he says “maybe”. Perhaps at this time he is not ready to make promises and is not inclined to reflect on further events.
Since a man is usually perceived as a man of his word, many of them really try to adhere to this taboo. They cannot afford to make promises that they are not sure of. But with the insistent demand of the girl to find out about something and at the same time sympathy for her, the man is not able to refuse. Due to his upbringing and moral standards, he wants to look tactful in the eyes of a girl and at the same time keep his word. Therefore, the only thing that a man can say in this case is the mysterious and vague phrase “maybe”.
However, you should not amuse yourself with excessive hopes that this phraseological unit will develop into something serious. If a man in the near future does not give in to your convictions and does not change his "maybe" for specifics, then such a "drag" will last a long time in the end and will not be crowned with success. Thus, a man, when saying “maybe”, often means a tactful “no”.
Feminine "maybe"
A woman is a mysterious and unpredictable creature. She does not intend to reveal her cards even when the issue is resolved for her. She wants to create an aura of mystery and unpredictability. She intends to confuse and intrigue her communication partner. Therefore, a woman tends to speak in riddles and metaphors.
Even if a girl likes a man very much, she most often will not admit it and will fight to the last so as not to show her feelings to her chosen one. This behavior is not only a part of female logic and a kind of game, but also manifests itself in part as self-esteem, as a certain female pride.
Upbringing does not allow the girl to frivolously agree to any male persuasion and adventure, even though she likes it. A woman wants a man to seek her attention, look after her beautifully, be persistent and not give up.
Therefore, the girl says "maybe", giving the man a chance to prove himself. In the female version, the meaningful phrase “maybe” sounds like a call to action, and after a while the woman, perhaps, will gladly surrender to the beautiful courtship of her gentleman and will not resist.
