Signals

Remember when we were little, and if you liked someone you did your utmost best to torment them? The harder a guy hit you, stepped on your toes, or made fun of you, the more he liked you. If he actually pushed you, it was a sure thing.

It seems that such displays of 'reversed' affection haven't changed much, except to whom it's directed at. Guys'll get rowdier and louder towards everybody in their general vicinity except the intended target, kinda like animals...baboons if you will, who flaunt their bright red rearends - the brighter, the louder the red, the more attractive he thinks it is.

I saw this happen today to someone I know. I don't know if he realised he was doing it, or if she realised she was responding to it. It was wonderfully entertaining. +grin+ I hope things work out.
