a smile (coupled with appropriate eye contact) from a member of
the opposite sex (or member of the same sex, if you're into that)
works well as a sign to tell the other party that you're remotely
interested, at least in the physical level for the current moment
....
i think this works wonders in giving the other party an invitation
to come over for a chat. unfortunately, asians in general, are shy
and avoid eye contact.
read from an article recently about a caucasian woman who married a
singaporean guy. the summary of her point was that, it's only that
local guys aren't smooth talkers, it's just that most of the time,
the poor guy is sized-up in a negative way, even before he has a
chance to open his mouth, and she also mentions that she's had her
fair share of smooth talkers who don't keep their end of the deal
...
but, then again, guys happen to be quite shallow and then mistaken
that special smile from the gal to be a message that she's "easy"
......... well, boys will be boys, and guys will be guys
