Just came unto this article and felt a need to comment, despite being months behind. I happen to be a very friendly person, and I would say reasonably attractive so I happen to get people either starting conversations with me or hang around abit to talk about whatever. I think its rude to brush people off, so I tend to have a chat with them and most of the time I am upbeat and friendly. With good friends and men I can be flirtatious, but only through being witty or with big smiles and a touch on the elbow or hand. I think that some men may find this off-putting and a sign of a woman than cannot be "restrained" (whatever restrained may mean to them, but I'd take it as "I am a control freak"). I used to go out with a guy or two whom were just as gregarious and friendly as I was, and we could work the room and then meet up again for a hug or kiss or just sit with each other for a natter, and then someone else will come along to speak to both or either of us. He might buy a round for my girl friends, and I may be getting drinks from other men but it never seemed like an issue for either of us. To me, it appeared that we both knew where we stood - we were going home with each other - and that when we gave each other the freedom to express our thoughts with others and inter mingle, we were strengthening the trust between us. I think its also important to accept that your partner, and yourself, will at many time appear attractive to other people and its important not to make them feel guilty about being attractive - but to subtly let them know they have to keep their behaviour in check. At the end of the day, one must be able to face one's own insecurities and consider if they can be controlled and not forced upon one's partner - his or her behaviour is his or her problem, and when they misbehave you just need to know how you'd like to handle it. But you can't force or make people do things they aren't naturally inclined to do - like sit down quietly, or pretend to restrain their straying eyes. They'll do it, anyway.
