...before you claim, whether single or married, that you never flirt, bear in mind that it's not just talk we're dealing with here. It's gestures, stance, eye movement. Notice how you lean forward to the person you're talking to and tip up your heels? Notice the quick little eyebrow raise you make, the sidelong glance coupled with the weak smile you give, the slightly sustained gaze you offer? If you're a woman, do you feel your head tilting to the side a bit, exposing either your soft, sensuous neck or, looking at it another...
...return for something else. Not usually for money, but for the intangibles--a better table, a juicier cut of meat, the ability to return an unwanted purchase without too many questions.

For the rest of the first half, though, it couldn’t buy a basket: the Crimson shot just 8-for-29 from the floor before halftime. On its worst possessions, Harvard didn’t even manage a shot—the Big Green was off and running with a takeaway...
...second half—that won the game for Dartmouth. “They put those athletic forwards under the basket and they don’t do anything but rebound,” coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. Co-captain Lindsay Hallion hit a jumper off the opening tip to start the scoring. The Big Green answered right back with a three-pointer from Craft and did not look back. Other than committing an unusual amount of traveling violations, Dartmouth ran its offense very efficiently, shooting 48 percent from the field in a dominant first half. The Crimson...
