I'm no expert on this subject but I do think that people who have been married before and are now single have new rules to learn. When we are in our twenties its totally different. When we are in our forties and single its a completely different landscape and territory. Hopefully we are smarter, wiser, healthy and mentally/emotionally balanced people at the time. Unfortunately by the time people are in their forties or beyond, this may or may not be the case! Life happens and crisis is part of life. There are people who may not have been consistent with their personal growth issues. It is mandatory to know yourself well before entering into any relationship, much less the secondary marketplace of love and romance. If we know who we are than we know who and what we are compatible with. Knowing this will help to discern who is who and where and when. By nature, women will always have the edge on extra sensory perception. Men are also perceptive and need to utilize those skills in this particular arena.
If a man is not being authentic with who he is and what he wants, a desirable, intelligent woman will be able to detect it and find that it may not be something that she feels good about pursuing. I think that works both ways. In any case its best to always be extremely present when meeting new people especially, and know how to evaluate a situation within a short amount of time. If your in doubt next time perhaps it is best to give your warmest, classiest, intelligent entrance, leave room for HER to feel invited back if she wants to approach you again and then exit the room. Best of luck to you! -k
