The most ridiculous permutation of this occurs when girls decide that they are the right girl. My sophomore-year roomie did this all the time. She'd hook up with a guy who might not necessarily be a player, but was definitely not looking for a relationship. Of course, she would never ask the "so what was this?" questions, and he would never categorize it because he wasn't asked. Then she would say something obtuse, like "I like spending time with you; we should do this more often." Guy hears, "I like hanging out and hooking up; I'm cool with it," and agrees. Roomie hears the Wedding March. Then she falls all over herself creating this "relationship" and is heartbroken when Guy tells her that he never wanted it in the first place.
