Hi, Helen -
Well, I think it's a lesson that we tread a thin line, and we all need to be more understanding of each other. I'm sure many of us have been in a situation where the other person is more (or less) amorous than we are, and there's a "leap" that takes us to the next level in a relationship - or not. It can be awkward, but such is life.
"Say, what's in this drink?" has different implications now, than it had in 1949.
