Sao, I just wanted to say - um - "husband in Portugal" - so, maybe she had a different idea of stuff?
Human relationships are so fraught with miscommunications, no? I spend too much male/female discussion time reiterating that I'm not interested in a relationship, not physical, not BF/GF - not. interested. It seems so simple.
I need to perfect my NO face. I think I'm too friendly. It gets misread - a lot.
