>No, there's definitely ways to tell if someone is receptive to sex specifically.
Yes, indeed, like how Huyuki is acting, but yours is apparently the belief that one can not rely on that.
>Here, he was just invited to take a shower at someone else's house because they were working in the yard. Sure, she was teasing him, but they're not in a relationship and he's not sure she actually likes him as more than a friend.
And yours was the claim that one can't propose a relationship or make any advances till one is "damned sure", advice that Huyuki is by the way not following.
>I'm saying not to jump into the fire, but to gradually work your way across the coals.
Ah, so Tubasa is to be admired as he "respects"the man that in no way "respects" him back? Huyuki is not in the slightest doing what you suggest one best do.
He is in no way "respecting" Huyuki; he is simply uncomfortable with the sexual tension and runs out as a consequence.
