Words do matter...

When offering a ride
do not say, "I'm going xxx. If you want, i can give you a lift."
instead, say, "Do you want a lift to xxx?"

When offering food
do not say, "eh, there's some ice-cream in the fridge. You can help yourself if you want it".
instead, scoop out the ice-cream, bring it to them and say "nah, help me finish"

when organizing a party
dont say "eh your friends can come if they want".
Instead, say "bring your friends along too!"

when agreeing to meet up for something that you're not exactly happy to
dont say "ok, sure. i can make it on sun"
instead, say "excellent! lets meet on sun"

I've learned that words do matter a lot. especially when talking to women. Thank god Lu-En is exceptional =D
