hello sinister. after hearing from so many lovely people after my last post, i said to myself i wasn't going to post again for a bit so as to not betray the loveliness i actually might posess myself. but blake's question is just too juicy. he said: so, i ask you, chicks/girls/broads--what are the tell-tale, obvious signs of likage and/or infatuation? a flip of the hair? a twinkle in the eyes? a flip of the bum? well, blake, the fact of the matter is, we girls haven't really figured the answer to this out yet, either. most of us, i think i can venture to say, hope our eyes twinkle all the time. hair and bum flipping -- well, maybe that means she likes you. or maybe it means she has a hair in her eye or a wedgie. likage is a funny thing for the girl to express -- seventeen tells us to be confident and independent and empowered but to make sure we don't apply too much of that strawberry flavored lip goo as the hunks don't like kissing sticky things. so suffice it to say that if a girl talks to you or compliments you or asks for the time, she's probably interested in you in some way. a classic flirtation move i utilize is forearm touchage. if the girl is laughing at what you said or agreeing with you and just reaches out to touch your arm for further emphasis -- bam. you're in. we don't touch people we think are toads, and this is maybe the best thing to remember. but if i saw you at billy elliot, that'd be enough for me. sensitive, artsy twee types are in demand, my friend. at least they are in nebraska. ok. the love guru is tired and doubting that she helped, which means it's time to start jonathan david over and figure out how to burn off that doughnut i just ate. *lindsey _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
