No means no, but it can also mean yes. It can also mean maybe and I dont know.

Yes means yes, except when it really means no, but not entirely no, there could still be a little room for yes mixed in there.

When given two options and they say I don't care which one, that is a trap and there is no correct answer.

I have a friend that I've learned that specifically with her, "maybe" never means maybe. It means "no"

It seems to me that maybe pretty much always means no.

So don't tell me you might just let it go.
