Why do all you namby pamby wishy washy wimps think a MOTOS knows how he/she feels about you when you've barely met? Isn't part of the purpose of going out to determine your degree of compatibility? Is the world going to end if you get rejected? I say, ask him/her out until the signals aren't ambiguous anymore. So you say, "why can't women be more straight-forward and assertive?" Maybe the person in question doesn't like to meet strangers or is already pretty busy. I've been in those states before, you don't have to be female to be unenthusiastic but not really negative either. You know, the first time I tried an avocado I was not impressed. A few years later I tried them again and now love them. Now I wouldn't say that men are like avocados, after all, you don't want to wait a few years. And you do have a mouth. You can say "try me, try me." -- This may not even represent my opinion, much less AMD's. Phil Ngai (408) 982-6554 UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd!phil ARPA: amd!phil@decwrl.ARPA
