I can respect that, too, because Raoul is indeed a jerk! So, what difference does it make whether he “likes” you or “likes” you? Just go ahead and do it, Mona!
Do women learn these moves from their moms or are they taught at Mrs Freeman’s Finishing School for Sadistic Young Ladies and Female Dogs? Divorce 401, Community Property 100%, and Child Custody HA!. Alimony and your Ex’s right to peanut butter., Protective Orders as an Offence, Sleeping with your lawyer, is it really wrong?
Basic anthropology (AKA people watching). I’ve seen it with either gender of assorted preferences. A lot treat you like furniture if you act interested, but act interested if you treat them like furniture. If you’re really interested, you’ll put up with this bovine excrement, but you’ll be beneath contempt. If you’re desperate enough to hit on me, you must be a loser. I don’t wanna play.
Looking back, Raoul hasn’t been that big of a jerk. Mona said that he said that she was dumb, after she asked for help with her science homework, but she may be an unreliable reporter, and it certainly didn’t stop her from continuing her campaign to win him at the time.
Raoul’s biggest crime has been that he was more interested in the overtly “womanly” and flirtatious girls around him than in the tongue-tied, skinny kid. That may be less than enlightened of him, but it’s hardly uncommon in teenage boys (my understanding is that teenage girls are not guiltless of similar preferences)…
It’s never pleasant when someone you’re attracted to isn’t attracted to you back, but it’s kind of a universal experience. Who knows? There may have been some awkward, gawky boy who had been pining after Mona all this time, to whom she wouldn’t give the time of day.
