To be on the fence about something: o que isso significa? [expressão dita no seriado Friends]

Here's what was going on in one of the episodes of Friends when an expression came up: Chandler and Monica are looking to buy a house and while they're talking to the house seller they find out Janice, Chandler's ex-girlfriend, is about to buy the house next door. When Janice sees them, she gets shocked by such coincidence and confesses she was on the fence about the house, but now that she knows her new neighbors she can't wait to get it. But wait, have you ever heard of the expression "to be on the fence about something" before?

When you're on the fence, it means you're undecided about something. So imagine you have a big decision to make like what house to buy and you're not sure what exactly you want yet. Maybe you need to look for more houses, try different neighborhoods or consider living somewhere closer to your job. Whatever the reason might be, there's something that puts you on the fence, you can't decide. There are many situations where that can happen. Try to think of this: Now that you're about to go on vacation, you're thinking of travelling to a foreign country. The thing is, you're on the fence about which country you'd like to go to: Mexico or Canada. That's it for today guys. Take care!
