I may come back and touch on some of these in more detail at a later time, but seeing as how they don't really need alot of explanation, I figured I'd make a quick list for you. Think of this as some rough definitions.

PMS - We can never really know when this is. Even if you do know, you don't. So here's the deal, its always PRE. Either PRE this month or PRE next month, but its comming. Go have a Guiness and make yourself scarce.

"I don't care" - I've seen this in an email recently. You know the one. Funny stuff. Funny because most of it is true. In my experience "I don't care" has meant exactly that, but she reserves the right to change her mind and be upset later.

Hug - We all love them. They are not an open invitation. For alot of women, its like a handshake. You WILL know the difference immediately and if you get it wrong, you will be corrected.

Personality - If you're the funny guy, be funny. The jock? Be physicaly appealing and slow mentaly. Mellow? Keep it going. Point is, do not go outside your element. It's who you are. Most likely why she even showed you attention in the first place. But don't push it either. Even the funny guy doesn't crack jokes at a funeral. Well, most funerals anyway.

Action - This may seem like common sense and you will have times where you get mixed signals from her. Trust your gut and do what's on your mind. DO NOT HESITATE. It's like blood to a shark. Your action may be off target, but at least you know you tried. Otherwise you either wonder what might have been, or even worse she knows you didn't act when you wanted to. That gives her more control than she already had by default, putting you even more on the defensive. to overcome that will take multiple instances of action, consistent action at that. Trust me you don't want to have to overcome that.

As always, feel free to comment or drop topic ideas.
