The thing is, in real life I would rarely if ever find myself having a conversation with a woman that isn’t my immediate relative.
But since here I do have conversations and discussions with the opposite gender (and let’s assume it’s legitemate for a moment) I can’t act all cold. I carry my conversations the way I do in real life: with a smile. If I think I’ve offended someone, I apologize. If someone wrote a really thoughtful post – I try to acknowladge that. I can either talk with someone in a natural way , or I can not talk to them at all. I suppose it’s easier for people who are very matter of fact in all their conversations. I’m not like that.
