- Well, I don't mean to be cruel, but you have a right to be worried. She
- doesn't want a relationship right now---at least not with you. Just because
- she's attracted to you (or you THINK she is), doesn't mean she wants to have
- a relationship with you. From the way you said she acts, I'd call her 'flaky'
- and say she just doesn't get deeply emotional about anyone, at least not right
- now. If you can, back away. If you can't, be warned that she probably will
- pull the Monty Python technique ("Run away! Run away!") whatever you do. But,
- if you wish to try, the best way is first to ferret out how she really DOES
- feel about relationships---roommates may not be the best sources of information
- about a person.
-
- You could try finding out why she broke up with her last boyfriend (e.g. was
- it something he did, like hurt her feelings, or was she just tired of him).
- From there, you can determine if she probably really cares for you or not.
- And if she does care, then tell her you care.

- Why would we flame you? It's almost a FAQ, but it's still important to you,
- right?
-
- That reminds me---what would people like to see in the FAQ (I'll compile
- one we can post weekly or monthly)?

- o What to do if a woman flirts off and on

- Anything else? :&)
