What does it mean when a woman says to a man I'm going to be completely honest with you?

Some women are honest, while others are not so be very careful about 'I'm going to be completely honest with you.' She may tell you the truth; a half truth; or she may lie. She could have done anything from cheat on you to perhaps falling out of love with you and she wants to breakup, or, she may feels she has a past she would like to discuss with you and start your relationship with honesty. You will just have to wait until she sees you and discusses what she intends on being honest about.Essentially, it means "I may or may not be about to tell you the truth, but I want you to think I am telling you the truth." In other words, it's effectively meaningless. Ignore this particular phrase and focus on the rest of the conversation.
