Helen Rowland on flirting

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?

2. Cause it's dumb to make people think you mean something

when you really mean something else. Yet women seem to enjoy that.

5. Flirting with someone means you want to kiss them?

I never knew that.

6. Well no, but if you flirt to the point of truly making someone

think you want them to kiss you, you shouldn't be surprised that they actually believe that.

14. I don't think wanting someone to want you--

without wanting them to actually act on it--is necessarily a game.

Let's face it, most of us get dressed up from time to time, hoping that people will find us attractive. That doesn't mean we want everyone to act on their attraction.

16. Well, yes, but if as I said earlier, if you flirt with someone enough for

that person to seriously think you're interested, you should exepect them to belive that.

A few flirty words won't do that, but continual flirtation might indeed give someone that impression.

24. well, it would be nice if seven people would

because I am free all week.

In fact, I am pretty sure I could handle two a day if 14 women wanted to act on their attraction. Now, if I could only find 14 women who had such an attraction. Heck, if I could only find one, it'd be like winning the love lottery.

Much as I like eye candy, sometimes I think dressing that way is kinda mean. Wanting somebody to want you just so you can deny them? It ain't right.

31. you shameless heartbreaker!!

You know that purple is an aphrodisiac!

Yet, everyone knows that beautiful people, unlike the rest of us, have an extremely hard time feeling good about themselves. Carry on.

3. Because we're not bright enough to work out...

...that many levels of desire. A lot of us seem to be stuck in the grade school do-you-like-me-check-yes-or-no stage.

4. Um, maybe because he just might find that 1 out of 10?

And the answer is, "yes, sometimes women really DO say what they mean, and don't play games."

13. Read the quote

It doesn't say when one time out of ten. It's says nine times out of ten. Some people are reacting as if the quote says the opposite of what it actually says.

Now whether the quote is correct or not is another matter...
