Joey, the world is a different place when you're a woman. I'm all about everyone being honest with everyone else, but in practice, I would never advise a woman who is alone with a man to risk provoking him.
Well, obviously it is. But, you would think the date would be taking place inside a resturaunt. I dont think there is anything wrong with acting non-chalant during a date if the interest is not there. Because if he is lead on to think she likes him, that means the man not only waste more time and money on an un-interested women (or man, in my case LOL)...but he may get his hopes up.
She doesn't necessarily have to say, "You're not my type" but to be flirtation and overly-accomodating is not the right way either. It sends mixed messages. If a guy were to do the same thing, he'd be called a player and everything else in the book. But its not a guy/girl thing...its about not pretending to be something you're not.
But then again, there are no guarantees on a 1st date...but why make things more complicated. I just dont like fake people. Of course, Im no saint either...we all are fake at one point or another
