Well, it's mostly the idea that if she says she's seeing someone that you'd still send her flowers and ask again. That, and calling the next day to ask for a second date. I'd generally expect someone to wait another day.

The "romancing" thing kind of turns me off. -d ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana Tierney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 12:52 AM Subject: Re: Needs some dating advice > mm?
