text: why are women embarassed when you tell them you spotted them on yahoo personals' when they put there? they must realize they are bound to be spotted by someone they already know in the neighborhood it's like announcing to the world, "hey i'm desperate". most girls are already insecure. pointing out their desperation on yahoo just makes them even more insecure.   when you recognize a girl in person, don't embarrass her. instead be smart and use the info to realize she is out looking as well. so if she starts giving you some lame excuse about her boyfriend, etc. then you know she is lying and is not interested in you.
