      Angelwing. Angelwing. Still mad about me keeping my virginity, huh?
      Eh, you HAD your chance. :)

      Yep, still got my Israel card right here. <whew>

      1) The conflict here is the definition of AGGRESSIVE. And after
         tonight, I'm willing to let you win *this* argument.

         You're absolutely right. Women define aggressiveness
         differently. I just came from class where I'm sure
         "Victoria" felt she was the most aggressive woman alive.

         I noticed her.  After 12 weeks.  She was making signals
         God couldn't see.

     2) I win. I SAID I was deceived, didn't I? Invalidates anything I say.
        Abstract thinking and all. :)

Indeed. And if Warren Farrell's claim that there are 150 initiatives

worry about than that.

I think it's harder to ask them out. YMMV.

Again, depends on the person, but i think the former.

You are. There's no risk of rejection involved in flying....

The risk of rejection. If there is no bigfuckingdeal about "first

Oblivious?

You are right about the most common form of the dating ritual. That's the way it's been done for years. I don't like it. I don't agree with it. Somebody has to take a risk/initiative. I don't think your list of "clues" is very helpfull though. Let's face it people like to interact, and a smile and batting eye lids doesn't cut it as a definitive maybe.

        Very true.  Morality/being a decent human being can come into
it if the "outsider" is friends with the person whose SO she's trying
to entice, or says to their face that nothing is going on:

        Although I felt like total doo-doo when my last SO went out with
someone else behind my back, it wasn't really her responsibility to deal
with the fact that he was in a relationship already.  When she hugged me
and assured me that nothing was going on, and then I found out for sure
a week later, that's when I thought her behavior was inappropriate.

        Actually that brings up another practical good reason to not try
and break up a relationship:  SHEESH did I find cool ways to make their
lives miserable for a while... :-)  Anyone ever see _She-Devil_? :-)

No, I don't think you're even reading what I'm saying.  If they don't tell
the person that they're married, then that's *not* telling them that
they *are* married, that their spouse *knows* that they're seeing someone
else, and that their spouse *approves* of the affair (or at least, doesn't
mind).
