Maybe she is smart enough to figure that out.

You want to take someone for coffee? You walk up to them, you smile, you ask them, "Would you like to go for coffee this afternoon at 4:30?"

Whatsamatter with you guys? This is not difficult.

Text! Sheesh. I'd ignore you just for being a tool. Grow a pair. Women like that!
You need to read the thread, son

The problem with this logic is that the vast majority of people have neither lots of money nor very good looks, and yet they still manage to meet people, have sex, and/or get into relationships.

You've heard of "womanly wiles" right? Even the dumbest girl has them, and uses them, when she sees a man she likes.

End of.
I'm a woman & I disagree. I am very shy, so my "flirting" probably looks like regular friendliness unless someone has a broad context of my typical behavior to reference. I'm poor at sending signals & often simply do not. I don't have "womanly wiles" apparently....

Not all women have open, warm demeanors & are mistaken for flirting when not.

Oh come on.

You know how to flutter your eyelashes, just like the rest of us.

You may not experience as many chances as an outgoing girl, but you know you can do it when the time's right.

Speak to a tall sexy fireman one day and watch them babies go.

If I were you, I'd ignore her. Don't even look at her when she walks by. If she still tries to be friendly after that, then maybe you have another chance. If not, then drop it.
You are wrong. SO wrong.

Yep. I don't understand why guys have such a hard time getting this. It's creepy.

That only applies if she finds him attractive.

And why would a woman want things to go further with a man who lacks the ingenuity and common sense to use a more appropriate form of communication than abusing access to company-provided cell phones to make a social contact with her? He couldn't have accidentally run into her in the breakroom or at an office party or company picnic and struck up a conversation like a grown-up?

Being dim enough to crap where one eats, aside, I mean.
