People are more likely to act as if they like you if you pay them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n2. If some one does like you romantically, they are very clear about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n3. Strippers, cocktail waitresses and small town girls have been known to send mixed signals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that sometimes you just want to practice being kind and sexy with someone, so that when the right girl comes along you&#8217;re ready.  But don&#8217;t spend a lot of energy on someone doesn&#8217;t clearly reciprocate your affection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nPoor Lucky Me <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Poor Lucky Me, &nbsp; I&#8217;ve become really really close with a cocktail waitress at the local sexy-cocktail-waitress place in my small town.
