There is a line between consideration and presumption. Since each individual draws zir own line, it is beneficial to behave in a manner that acknowledges the existence of this boundary, particularly while becoming acquainted with a person and learning where zir boundaries are. Caution is generally more successful than enthusiasm/eagerness when dealing with this and other boundary issues.

That's my problem with the gent who sent what I thought were inappropriate cards and the phone calls. To him, though, he was treating me as a friend. It was still TOO familiar in my mind. I've had this problem a time or two before. Part of it is that I'm just openly friendly and some people take it the wrong way if you follow what I mean. Michael Mason called it flirting, I call it being friendly. So, it needs to be looked at cautiously no matter how you go.
