- This has gotten a comple of comments, so i think i had better clarify what
- I meant here. I typed "move" in a generic sense, not in a sly-scamming-guy
- sense. I just meant that if I was interested in someone, eventually I would
- do/say something that made this interest blatently obvious, and that i would
- hope that if someone was interested in me, they would try to make it obvious
- too. I understand that this is hard, but I have "missed" a couple of
- potentially good relationships, because only weeks or months later did I
- find out from someone else that a certian woman was interested in me.

- See above re "moves" and I can see the cultural problem with appearing
- "forward." But i would hope that i have rid myself of cultural bias like
- that, and others too. I live on a campus, and since most here are young
- and liberal (relative to the rest of society) i would hope that some/most
- of thiscultural bias is absent from everyone. I am a rather relaxed
- person, which is probably why i miss flirting sometimes, etc, and maybe
- just being a bit "forward" on the part of the woman is the thing that
- might work if she is interested in me.
