[quote=Anonymous]PP saying the terms are synonymous. After more thought, I am cognizant of perceptions on whether I can seem aggressive or demanding. I don’t mind being either in the right circumstance, but usually reserve saying “want” for things that are critical, and rarely do I tie my desire to the action of another person by default.

For example:

I want Korean BBQ for dinner. Wanna join?
I want to leave NLT 6:30p tonight. Will that work for you?
We are going out for drinks. Can you join us? 
My daughter is having a tea party. We would love for you and the girls to join.
I’ll be at home all day, you’re welcome to visit anytime.

I prefer expressing desire without saying the more assertive   “I want you” unless I have an authoritative option to following through without that person’s willingness I f my desire isn’t met.

For example:

I want you manning the phone lines.
I want you to be my maid of honor.
I want you to brush your teeth and wash your face after you finish coloring.
I want you to help me find an investment property under $150k..
I want to leave this hell hole right now.
I want 30 minutes of peace and quiet.

That’s just me. [/quote]
