what does maybe mean? - . - 11-09-2012 09:59 AM
on facebook like statuses one of things was "friends? Yes, No, Maybe?" she said Maybe to some people and no to others, what does maybe mean in this case?
and then another one was someone said to me
"Well now that our arguing an fights are in the past we can maybe start talking again?"
it was about a month since ive talked to her cause of our fighting and friendship fell out. what does maybe mean in these cases?

It means possibly yes, and possibly no. They haven't made up their minds, and are relitively nuetral ebtween the options.

First of all, I don't know of a "maybe" button on Facebook.
But about the other thing when she said maybe you can be friends, she means she's apprehensive about it. She'll probably test it for a while to see if she can trust you or want you around. So the maybe thing is sort of conditional in that case.
