There was a little bit on this on an article but I couldn't find it again . had to do with frames I think. . .
Anyway, it's a simple question:
Girl starts touching you or flirting hard out of the blue - and you are blindsided, in fight-or-flight and not in control of the situation anymore (and blow it).
For example: that girl in social circle suddenly calling me "hot", cupping my pecs and saying "c'mon" I could do the same to her - in front of at least 4 others, in a public place, in broad daylight. I didn't know how to react because I didn't know what was the joke all about (most likely about me being shy) - but then it turned out she had been for real.
Another girl, total nutcase, started groping my biceps at a bar when her boyfriend was going to arrive any minute. I did well to reject her but I was too exaggerated and I think it made me look awkward in front of others.
Others (inexperienced/crazy/whatever) start to push things, usually when backed by friends:
"Why are you over 30 and not married?"
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
"Am available. . ."
"Yeah, you should go out with her!"
All these frame things HARD for a "yes or no" kind of answer. . . which is exactly what I don't feel like giving.
