Mixed Signals Ben is sitting at home reading a magazine or something, I dunno, and his phone rings. He answers, "Hey, who's this?" "Sup, Ben. It's Frank," is the reply. B: "Hey, what's up, man?" F: "Listen, I need some relationship advice. Can you help me?" B: "Sure." F: "Cool, thanks. Anyway, I've been seeing this girl lately. I'm really starting to like her, but I don't know what she's thinking. She's giving me mixed signals." B: "How so?" F: "Well, she said that she 'loved me like a brother.'" B: "That seems pretty clear to me. She obviously just doesn't have a romantic attraction to you." F: "Yeah, well that's the thing: she's from Kentucky."
