difference?

Can you please tell me the difference between I guess and I'm guessing? And can you put them in sentences please?
  

Top answer

Native speakers have certain preferences when to use the progressive and when to use the simple present. There's not much difference in meaning. Carl: Mike told me that he quit his job, shaved his head, and got his whole body tattooed.
