What is it about us women that we have to analyze every little thing about men? I know you do it, ladies. We all do. Heck, I do. And some of us make our living (or part of our living) on analyzing men. And sometimes just people in general.

When we first start dating someone, we analyze every little thing he says and does. What does this mean? What does that mean? If he was late, early, on time. If he bought us dinner, drinks or was too cheap to do either.

If he calls the next day after the first date, he’s desperate; if he calls a week later, he’s a jerk; if he never calls, he’s just not that into you and you’re PISSED.

Or maybe you haven’t even started dating yet. Maybe you get all the signs that he’s interested but there’s something (or someone) holding him back. Maybe you felt an initial spark and then suddenly, he’s pulled back because of one reason or another. So you gather your best girlfriends and analyze the entire situation to death. Everything he said and you said. Every glance, every wink, every brush of the hand, every EVERYTHING.

And so WHY do we do this? There really is only one explanation - we’re female. We can’t help it. It’s ingrained into our DNA. We will forever analyze men, just as men will forever tune us out.

So, ladies, tell me your thoughts. If you meet someone you “spark” with and you suddenly find yourself flirting with him and he’s flirting back but there’s no asking out or exchange of telephone numbers or any of that… do you blow him off as just another flirt? Or do you continue the pursuit of the man?

Tell me. Inquiring minds want to know. :wink:
