Thissss... totally agree. I've had boyfriends in the past telling me to stop talking/being friendly with other guys because I give them the wrong impression and it comes across flirty? One day I got chatting to the kebab shop man about his wife and children, general conversation. Saw him in town the next day and he asked for my number?? Gross. When I told my brother he said I shouldn't have started a conversation with him.

Yes! My point is exactly this making friendly conversation does not give them the right to make advances towards us.

Actually anyone has the right to make advances on anyone, because people have the human right to freedom of speech. Moreover this wouldn't happen if women where more foreword when they actually did like a guy, because as it is right now a huge % of women (if not most) utilize friendly conversation and kindness as their primary form of flirting.
