Join the club. Girls like to think they're sending out signals that are as obvious as wearing a sign saying "F*&K Me". Problem is, for 99% of blokes, the sign is written in swahili.
yeah i too am in this boat

What is wrong with verbalizing your thoughts ladies its would be easier for both parties
Not everyone has the guts to just come out with it for fear of rejection.
Thats a good point

its just meant to be difficult i suppose lol
Not really.Just steer clear of the opposite sex and you're fine lol

There are alot of girls who are headcases,then there are some that are very bloke like in their thinking,in that they cant take a hint to save themselves and dont really care if the guys calls or whatever or not.

Wandering around the shops yesterday, found a new Wilbur Smith novel. :P

Some of his more recent ones have been a bit iffy, but this one's really good. He's still a bloody good story teller.

After I did the morning chores, mowed the lawn and took the dogs for a walk, I cracked a beer and sat out on the deck and had a read. Very relaxing way to spend an arvo. :D

The fact that I know some really nice people, some of whom I ran into tonight. That and having the rest of the week booked out with various happenings with different people. For a self-confessed loner, it's pretty cool.

Girls should know that if a guy talks to them for a minute or two it mean's they're interested in taking things further. Maybe not even a minute or two.
