Want.. What does it really mean?

• Do you want to go to the store with me?


• Do you want to go out to eat tonight?


• Do you want to do some laundry?


• Do you want to walk the dog

What do these mean?
They mean..

• Will you go to the store, I would like it if you do? Will you go to the store with a good attitude? Will you be nice and polite? Will you try and have a good time?


• Will you go out to eat tonight because I want to? Will you go to the restaraunt with a good attitude. Will you be nice and polite? Will you try and have a good time?

Want is really about the other person, the person asking the question.. So if you really didn't want to do something, just say yes
