It's exactly what happeded here and you're very very smart and insightful. I know it's very hard to comment other's story as I found I was not albe to describe every detail. But it seems that you are in my shoes and see everything clearly. Thanks again, sincerely. |

| 2009-10-20 | Jan | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | No | Dear Michael, I also think that she has behaved a bit weird by doing those, but you are right; human interactions are not always logical.. Yet, I wouldn't do such a thing (saying that I would call and not doing so). It is in any case not polite. But anyhow, she is not the only woman in the world. So, it is time for me to move on! kind regards, Jan |

Michael Talks Behavior, Culture and Relationships
Expertise
A combination of the study of human behavior, the psychology behind those actions, interviews and significant personal experience. That intensive study has provided a deep understanding of interactions, an excellent education. Behavior, for both genders, is often about unspoken feelings, underlying motives and patterns. Learning to recognize what you're seeing in others and how to interpret the meaning will tell you what people are really thinking and why they're acting as they are. Understanding others is also about what is said and what isn't, what words are used and which ones aren't. The devil, it is said, is in the details. Subtleties matter. They often determine whether you connect as you desire, have disharmony or nothing at all with someone. If you are knowledgeable, naturally focused, experienced and perceptive, you can almost predict with certainty what is coming next.
