writes:Hey, can any guys or girls reading this please translate some guy speak for me? I've been with my bf for 2 months. He showed me a text he sent to his female friend who he has known for years about a party they're going to next week. He'd texted that he would be bringing his girlfriend. She replied saying who is your girlfriend and how is it going? He replied "Ok:) She's nice." What does this mean? Is Ok good? Or is it just ok, i.e., not great, therefore bad? He tells me things are going great and that he thinks I'm "awesome" too, and I'm not sure what this means, either? Translations would be gratefully received :)

 This isn't a bad thing at all. From this I would say that he does really like you. Firstly you two haven't been together long enough for him to give this girl a really good example of the two of you, secondly and most importantly it was a text. This means what he does want to say he will do so by expression in person. Texts just suck if you have anything more than a short message. He let this girl know that he is happy which is what she was looking for.
Saying that you are awesome means that you are a great gf to him and that there is a friendship conection there as well which means he is thrilled he can be himself around you. It all sound very good to me.
The best thing to do is look for his body language because chances are he will not verbally express his feeling father than this but this is a lot for him. His non verbal comunication will show his affectionate side and how much he loves you in a way you both will understand.

I'm not a guy, but I'll hazard a guess here...I think his use of neutral terms in describing you to his friend was simply a means of quickly and safely answering a question in a medium that severely limits language use and expression, the good ole text message. Perhaps he didn't want to be flowery or emotional, maybe lyricism isn't his forte, or he may not have wanted to offer details he felt were not his friend's business. The fact that she showed you the text may mean he's proud you're his girlfriend, so much so that he's acknowledging it to his social circle, and he wants you to know that.
Awesome is a superlative, colloquial term that means you're great. :)
Best of luck in your relationship; enjoy the party, too.

guys answer thing different from girls. to a guy ok is just that ok most guy will not go into detail it like looking at a flower most guys will say it ok. but girl will be more descriptive in that it so beautiful and look at color. it just how guys talk i think for him to even mention you is a good sign.
good luck
