I just cannot understand why they can't. I'd know pretty damn quickly if a girl wasn't that into me (even if she was flirting with me a bit). Marcus MUST'VE known Noirin wasn't that into him but he thinks he can ware her down so that she'll give in. How romantic.

Also, it's now all her fault and she isn't allowed to flirt or go near a guy now because of it? What's that all about? It's like it's all the woman's fault because the blokes have such big egos and can't cope with a knock back.

Marcus is 35 years old and the way he is handling all this is beyond embarrassing. Noirin is right - she wants a MAN. Not a sexually immature tw@t like Marcus!

Blimey. Does that mean "Yes, I love you" is like filling the petrol tank and keeping the oil level right? A tedious job for a man but necessary for smooth motoring.

A good start is nancy henley's book "politics of touch"...have a google

Yeah there was an interesting documentary on TV a while ago that showed the touching that goes on between various heads of states...can't remember what it was called (anybody???)

Was quite funny...showed all these male presidents and prime ministers jostling to get the "high status" touch in first ...they're all quite aware of the importance of it

It was interesting to see how male heads of state from other countries, who would overpower male heads from others, would then totally go to bits when confronted by the queen

Michelle Obama was interesting...either she's completely naive to the nuances...which i find hard to believe...or she was being completely insulting

*scratches chin*

Perhaps she's a bit of an iconoclast and prefers to deal one to one rather than First Lady to Monarch. I think I would be too. If I met the POTUS (Bush, Obama or whoever) then I think I'd be underwhelmed and quite nonchalant really.
