A few days later…Jennifer talks to Melina, a girl who is from the same culture as Ramadane.

Jennfier: Hey, can I ask you a question about Ramadane.

Melina: Sure.

Jennfier: Well, Ramadane and I went to study for the test and he asked me some personal questions and to go out with him over the weekend. I don’t understand why he asked me out because I didn’t act interested in him.

Melina: He may have interpreted your behavior differently. In our culture, flirting is more about body language. If you were to smile, a guy might think you are interested in him.

Jennfier: Oh, that makes sense.
