I think ita ! has a valid point. It sucks to get dissed and to misread signals (been there, ouch) but equating "invite to apartment" with "makeout" is problematic.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm giving a quiz now. This room is so crowded that there's really no way to monitor for cheating. Can't see everyone from the front of the room, no room to walk up and down the aisles, and each student can easily see three or four other papers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy burthday, Trudy!

I've been out of the dating scene for SO long. If someone invited me into their flat after a date, I wouldn't know if it was a signal, or what. My luck, I'd err on the side of caution and leave, and then get a hurt-feelings text the next day.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My dating history is primarily distinguished by how little there was of it before I met Hubs. But I'd interpret "invite to apartment" as a sign that the date wants to get to know you better in a way that may or may not be physical. I don't think it's necessarily bad form to try for a goodnight kiss after a first date, as long as you don't insist in the face of resistance.
I can say with some authority that misread signals happen. After 24 years, Hubs and I still misread each other's signals now and then.

A local nursery--one of the best--is closing down because its owners are retiring. Rather than sell the space and the name, they're just shutting down. It's sad-making. But today is 60% off day, so after my annual physical, we'll run by and see if we can score some large pots and planters for next year.
It's near 90F today, so the window fans are all busily pulling cool air from the woods in the back through the house and exhausting warm air out the front. And after the necessaries, we'll head up into cool green mountain shadow till near-dark or suppertime, whichever comes first.

Well it's not like I'm saying "you invited me in, that means sex, you can't say no now!" I'm saying I was confused, because one set of signals was saying one thing and another was implying something else. It's not like I glommed on and started kissing on her just because she invited me back!

Ooh, Beverly, that sounds lovely. I wish we had some cool-air woods nearby.
