Say for example, boy meets girl. Girl likes boy. Boy shows signs of disinterest (because either the boy is rubbish at taking hints or is unsure).. How long would the girl wait? (and vice versa)
I know the answer may be different for each person, as from individual life experiences they would take different actions.. But from an emotional point of view.. if someone is attracted to another do the feelings fade away soon or stay for as long as they are still single?
