Mangling of words

It sometimes amazes me how a phrase, comment or a whole conversation of mine can be taken the wrong way. Am I that unclear as to believe that when I am trying to convey my feelings for a certain subject or person, that it gets taken in a way that I didnt mean at all? I am sure that many times, the mangling of my words isn't meant in a malicious way. But I still dont like it when it is done. When I am trying to be sincere, kind and just trying to explain things people take it as an attack. Maybe it is just because it is things that I care about deeply, since I am usually not one to put things into words. They usually come at a time of great passion, so feelings are heightened and more easily offended.
Well that is enough of that. I am looking into writing a short book, humorous of course since that suits me the most, but with a serious side note to it about dating as a nice guy. I consider myself a nice guy, some people may disagree with that but they will burn in the deep fiery pits of heck. So yeah, I am a nice guy, and dating isnt very fun. Because I have a tendency to care about people and trust that they are decent people as well. I forget that most people have faults, as I do too, and that they sometimes take advantage of my trust and kindness, sometimes unknowingly. But in the end, most of the time it ends up with me alone with only empty compliments. I could be bitter, but as I was thinking about it, I would be better suited turning my life and my dating snafoos into a humorous, book of learning. And who knows, maybe some trustworthy, funny, witty, beautiful woman will read said book, or blogpost (since I probably will never get it published) and decide that she will want to change my opinion on dating as a nice guy.
I say dating as a nice guy because, I have done the whole, be a jerk, get a girl to fall for you, because they do, it is ridiculous I know. But it never felt right that way, because I am not a jerk, no matter what my ex's say. I am a nice guy, and hopefully one day, instead of complimenting me on my niceness as they sail away from me. I will get a nice girl as well who is willing to drop anchor and moor with me. Yes sailing analogies, gets the girls every time.
