So, I'm way behind the times - I'm respondng to a post in 2003.
I am appalled by this advice to men, particulary about the Smooch test on the first date.
And being hard to get ect.
First of all I, and I do not know how many other women, use the first date to simply establish character and to discern if there are common values and interests to see the guy again. This usually does not include a Smooch on the lips. It may include some affection or affectionate gestures if the guy's character is good and you beleive you have enough common interests and values to proceed.
Playing hard to get is a woman's perogitive - not a man's. He should not be too anxious, that is correct and bestowing gifts and flowers on the first date makes him look desparate or manipulative, but the other advice is bogus.
If these guys did this with me I would never see them again. If they are playing hard to get what the hell am I suppose to do???? Men are now, have always been and always will be in the power position. The small amount of power women have is to be discerning, discriminating and put a high value on themselves so that they are not used, abused or devalued.
Men have other issues but it is not being used, abused or devalued.
The System is misleading and bull...
It is better to have integrity, be honest, be yourself, have manners, be polite, if interested be so, if not, then dont. But PLEEZE forget the games.
