One thing which puzzles me in all the discussion surrounding the "who
breaks up with whom" question concerns the assumption that every man
has made that the only way to express/detect interest is to ask out, or
be asked out by, someone.  I can usually tell whether a woman is interested
in me without her having to tell me so; all you have to do is watch the
other person's behavior.  Alas, in most "romantic" (sorry, couldn't think
of a better word) settings people are just nervous or tense enough that
they watch themselves more closely than they watch anyone else....
