Does pro mean yes and con mean no?
Pro is "for" and con is "against". now adding to the confusion is that it can be used wrong. If you vote "pro", you are against the resolution
Does maybe mean yes or no?
Maybe really means no for all intents and purposes, with a possibility of yes. You don't say maybe if you mean yes, you say maybe to avoid saying yes. You say maybe as no until you can be certain of either. And it may turn out to be yes when they've decided, but it is no until then.
Does no mean yes in polish?
Yes, 'no' in Polish does mean 'yes' in English. But it is somewhat impolite to answer a question with 'no' instead of proper 'tak'
What does "I guess" mean? Does it mean yes or no?
“I guess.” has made it’s way into the American lexicon and I guess it means, “I don’t know for certain but if I had to guess — based on the available information and my experience, training, and prejudices — I’d say XXX is the answer.A true “guess” (such as a coin flip) is random; the punter has no way of knowing if one answer (guess) is better than another. In the case of a coin flip, his or her guess has a 50/50 chance of being correct. If a die is rolled, the chances diminish to 1/6 etc.“I guess” implies it is not random. When someone says, “I guess”, they are in effect giving you what they believe to be the correct answer. But it is not an unequivocal ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Does "I don't know" mean yes or no?!?
If the average honest person says this, then they really do not know a correct answer. If a politician says this, then it means that they are covering their backsides by lying about having been involved.

Does silence mean yes or no?
We have been friend for years now and I have a feeling that he likes me more than a friend but I'm not sure about it. One time, we were together with our friend and somehow our random conversation led my other friend to ask him "So you like her" which she meant that he likes me. He didn't answer any thing and kept silence. What does this mean? Does he likes me or he doesn't want to hurt my feeling by saying "no"?
Does maybe mean yes or no? Girls help?
Let her think about it. If she doesn't come to you about it she might not have wanted to be rude. If thats the case she should have just been honest instead of keeping you hanging. I wouldn't push her though, no one should push anyone.
When does silence means yes? When does it mean no?
Silence means yes when the other person has confirmed that it means yes. And maybe not then if they are being coerced to give an answer.Silence means no when the other person has confirmed that it means no. And maybe not then, if they are being coerced to give an answer.Until then, silence means silence. If you want to know what silence means, you need to listen, not talk, not jump to conclusions. In many cases, silence does not mean yes, and it does not mean no. A trivial example: answer this question:“Do you still beat your wife?”This question does not deserve an answer. It is not a question to be answered, it is an accusation, not a question. Silence is a reasonable response. Silence does not mean yes, it does not mean no.Another important example:“What do you think about X. Should I do X?”…Silence can mean “I’m thinking,” Maybe I’ll need to think a long time. It might mean “I”m not going to touch that question”. It might mean “let’s go golfing”. It might mean “I see a mosquito on your shoulder”.It might mean “I didn’t hear you”. It might mean “I’m choosing to not hear you”, or “I”m choosing to not answer you”. It might mean “make me a sandwich”. It might mean “you don’t hear me”, or “let’s talk”.The most effective way to find out what silence means is to ask. But you can only expect an honest answer from someone who trusts you enough to give an honest answer.
Why does “no” mean “yes” in today's society?
When I was growing up in Mexico men having sex were displaying virility and prowess and women having sex were sluts.This put women in a position where they needed to pretend they didn’t want sex and played coy and said no when they really wanted to say yes.This put men in a position to assume no could mean yes if they pushed.I don’t mean to imply that this is women’s fault or men’s fault.I mean to imply this is a vicious circle that muddles communication and makes consent something you have to interpret.This is fertile ground for sexual assault.Pop culture perpetuates this. The woman says no. The man pushes. The woman succumbs. We sigh.Consider the first time Hans Solo kisses Princess Leia:She clearly and quite aggressively pushes him away. She says no. She says no again. She shakes her head.He kisses her.We think it’s romantic.No wonder we are confused.What if we remove the game playing?Women would have to admit to liking sex as much as men like sex (and I do.)Then, the initiator would say something along the lines of “I’d like to kiss you. Is that OK?”If I said no that would mean he would understand, take a step back and not kiss me.I could not afford to take this risk if I really did want him to kiss me, so I’d say yes.We would live in a world where no would mean no, and yes would mean yes.If anyone thinks this is in any way less romantic let me tell you there is nothing as dreamy as the truth, nothing as healthy as clear boundaries and nothing as conducive to good sex as clear communication.
