"Well spoken" Lisa!

If I have to give you numbers... 75C in Holland, that is (I suppose) 36C in the USA

I hear what you're saying, sorry to barge into gal-dom again, but that Hollywood thing goes both ways. There are just as many movies where the guy goes for the "hot/popular" girl while his female friend is in love with him. Of course he doesn't see it or even know he's in love until after the winning touchdown or homerun or free throw.. whatever. God, I hope people don't let what they see in movies guide how they live.

But to your points... I agree. Some guys don't listen to what they are told. Women too. Usually it is quite obvious when a woman doesn't like you. It's very clear, but we've all been raised as.. "don't take no for an answer"... "go after what you want".... "you can have anything you want if you try hard enough"..."if at first you don't succeed, try try again". We have grown up in a society that no longer says NO..... we are unable to accept rejection or criticism or failure. But... my only suggestion is to say that if a guy is pressing you hard enough.. just tell him straight up. If he has any brains, he'll back down. If not.. you may be better off in the long run without him.

Here's another question... Let's say your male friend hasn't come out with the direct proposition yet, but you can see it coming. All the signs and signals are there. Is there an effective way for a woman to pre-empt the awkward moment before he makes his move, without coming across as presumptuous? I think a girl can tell when her guy friend is crushing on her, but until he actually comes out with the 'big confession', it's hard to know how up front one should be....

Good question.. I'm not sure there's much you could say. In you previous list, I'd say #5 should be a good indicator. In my life, whenever I've been interested in someone and she never seemed to be available to talk or email or whatever more frequent all of a sudden I've understood that she wasn't interested. By comparison, me and any particular woman that did share interest, we couldn't talk enough. If I'm getting the "cold shoulder" that speaks volumes. But hey.. not all guys are as smart as I! LOL

Just curious, but have any of you experienced this in the opposite direction? Someone you would like more from but he/she only wants to be your friend, if so, how did you handle it? As for me, once I know that a woman only wants to be friends, I can accept that. Why would I persist at something that is unwanted? Seems like I'd be setting myself up for repeated rejection.

Sorry, I know this is Ask the Gals...

I don't have the guts to make it clear that I'm not interested in a guy. It's hard to say, "I'm not attracted to you because..."

If I don't like the guy at all, then I just ignore his calls until he gets the message. If I like the guy as a friend, then it gets tricky. I've had "friends" who tried to kiss me and I turned my face away. After that, they usually understand that I'm not interested sexually, although some guys can be persistent.

I like scars on such places, they tell a story about pain and sacrifice in one's life. I'd rather have a girl with some marks than a brainless plastic skinned girl.

Exactly. I find them quite sexy, on both men and women.

I used to date a guy that had a very large one on his stomach. Without really realising it, I would always trace it with my fingers when we were in bed. It always use to bother him, and it took him over a year for him to tell me what it was from.
