From the SIRC Guide to Flirting (by Kate Fox):

“…men have a tendency to mistake friendly behaviour for sexual flirting. This is not because they are stupid or deluded, but because they tend to see the world in more sexual terms than women…”

Still true? I think so, but no mention is made of women’s tendency to mistake sexual flirting for friendly behaviour. Does that mean I’m the only naive idiot out there?
