I look at it this way. Women have been conditioned to use subtle rejection.
Why? Well, men do not listen to direct rejection. They come on even stronger.
More pestering. More pressure. They never leave her alone. They don't take
her lack of interest seriously. They figure eventually she'll come around
with enough attention. Now I don't blame women one bit for avoiding these
hassles. There is nothing easier than to feign interest and put the guy off
till a later date. Repeat this process each time he comes back. Its an
easy way to handle the situation. The guy thinks he's made progress 
and the women gets peace for a while. The whole thing is conditioning
by society.

So, women, if you ever use this approach when you are really interested,
make sure the man in question doesn't get the wrong idea. You never can be too
sure how your actions will be viewed.
