It seems as if being really nice to a person can sometimes be mistaken for flirting or coming on to another person. Not all the time, just with certain people. I realize that when guys have an indication that they have a ‘green light’ from a woman, they might act on that, if they’re interested. But what about if you’re just being cordial or polite?I’m a pretty social person. I can confabulate or formally converse, whatever the occasion calls for. I insert jokes accordingly, listen to the other person, provide feedback where necessary, etc. If someone says “good afternoon” to me, I'll reciprocate. I’m not going to walk around all stiff with my arms folded and head down just because I’m in a relationship or not interested in that person. It seems, however, like that’s what some people may be used to. Because, if you’re nice to them, they take it as more than that.
I totally digg having boundaries. I have them, and expect that to be reciprocated in my relationship - because outside forces will disrespect your relationship if you allow it. But, how do you maintain ‘normal’ interactions with people of the opposite sex without them jumping the gun and thinking it's more than you just being cordial?
