Remember how movies aren't real? That just because something is in them doesn't make it fact. How many people reading this have ever seen Hitch? Funny flick but not without flaw.
I was informed this weekend, by a male friend of mine, that many men use Hitch's advice in their own dating lives. What am I talking about? The infamous porch scene. In the movie, Hitch tells Albert that if the girl fiddles with her keys that means she wants him to kiss her. This is the exact thing I'm talking about. yes perhaps in some circumstances it does mean she wants to be kissed. But there are a number of other factors to consider first.
1. is she actually fiddling with her keys? or were you in the middle of a conversation and she is waiting for you to finish your sentence before she turns her back on you to unlock the door.
2. Maybe she got her keys out because her purse is too big and she didn't want to search for them awkwardly while you stood there waiting.
3. Maybe she just likes to talk to you and be in your company.
4. Or perhaps she doesn't even know you consider this a date. If you asked her using the words "hang out" or "play" she is not even considering the possibility of any physical contact beyond maybe a hug and therefore may not even be aware of what she is doing with her keys. If this isn't a date then he shouldn't even be considering attacking the poor girl. And if you do consider attacking her...consider it again, and very carefully, because you may not get a chance to redeem yourself if you are wrong.
