great advice about being honest...but i think it's also important to get to know a person before you get romantically involved. i think relationships work better when people take things slow although it's hard to do that sometimes esp when you are sooo attracted to a person! also it's best not to force anything as u said don't keep pursuing someone if u get the vibe he's not interested. i usually just let nature take its course in relationships...although i'm about to graduate college and i've never had a lasting relationship :( ohh well maybe the next one will last.
