You may be expected to figure out (guess? read her mind?) what she's feelings and what she wants all the time. Say what? A woman who asks a man out has to be doubly secure; she has to be able to handle a possible rejection (which is usually enough to stop alot of men and women in their tracks), plus she has to deal with the fact that she may have been taught that men do the asking. Jane Smith may like the idea of asking John Doe out, but if she mentions it to a friend or relative, it's possible that they will discourage her from asking. I wouldn't use the "length of time between interest and asking" as a measure of that person's personality. Beth Mazur {ihnp4,ima,harpo}!inmet!mazur - they pelted us with rocks and garbage
