AE, thank you also for your previous stories, I have greatly enjoyed them all.
Winter of 1973 found me in Europe for a couple months as a much less sophisticated version of “Chris”. Unfortunately I never found a “Moe”, nor had ever had a successful date before finding myself losing my virginity to an Amsterdam prostitute at age 20, (grins), and I didn't experience “Carol” until I returned to finish my BA at college. If I had a nickel for each time I heard the dreaded “nice guy” label, I would be rich. I never really learned female “signals” nor appearing “confident” to women. I did stumble on to my wife of 35 years who has no clue about that stuff either. Thanks AE, I look forward to following Chris
So looking fwd to of main character's next adventures. As a volunteer editor, it also pleases me how your writing is virtually error free from a proofreading standpoint. So often the well received writers on this site with marks in the same range as yours, persist in presenting sloppy editions of their work. But I do understand the lack of incentive to over self-edit or motivate voluntary editing from others when payments are non-monetary. So we readers thank you for what you do - payment in full marks.

Kudos!
Even if he knows he will again and again. He's insane
Beautiful, erotic, tender, and one for the good guys. I look forward to the next chapters.
Romance, sex and a little extra. Well worth the read. All the way to the last chapter.
She was American and apparently he isn’t. I went back to see if missed you saying where was from and didn’t see any mention. Is he Canadian?
IT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL that "women are always sending signals" or that "most of the time,it's the woman who initiates contact"!WOMEN DEFINITELY AREN'T "ALWAYS" sending signals,but ONLY SOMETIMES!And IT'S OBVIOUS that FOR THE LARGE MAJORITY OF TIME,MEN ARE THOSE WHO INITIATE CONTACT,not women!STOP WRITING such TOTALLY UNREALISTIC NONSENSES!
Reply to "It's not true"
You're anonymous, so I can't respond to you privately.
There are a number of things you should consider. First, the character speaking those words is a 20 or 21 year old college girl. What are the odds that she understands everything there is to know about life, the universe, and how to pick up women?
Second, there's the possibility that the opinion expressed by a character does not necessarily represent the author's own views. Third, the use of capital letters in a comment. It reads as if you're yelling. Why are you yelling? (And why are you yelling at a fictional character?)
Fourth, did you read what follows from Moe's comments? With her 'signals', she unintentionally attracts the attention of a boorish lout named Ted, who wants to fight Chris. Surely that's a bit of a hint that Moe's 'signals' don't actually work all that well?
SPOILER - It's going to take several more chapters for Chris to figure out that Moe doesn't know what she's talking about. Did you happen to notice the title, by any chance?
Also,I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND why someone says that "she was American and apparently he isn’t"!IT'S VERY CLEAR that HE IS AN AMERICAN,TOO!
