LOL.... Subtlety is an imperfect art. Oftentimes, I think that the other person that it was truly intended for may be as equally subtle and either doesn't respond merely of the fear of not being subtle enough, or attempts to be just as coy and subtle and it wasn't received with the message it conveyed!! 
I love the bantering that I had on the other site and lost my interest in that site as a result as people have moved on in differing directions. The bantering relationship is sometimes more fun that the real life relationship that is tangible outside of the computer world.
The "game" of the subtly written messages can be as fun as the mystery and intrique found in solving mysterious criminal cases. Ahhhh, never lose the interest in the fun of the secret banter with that someone who you are truly intending it for.
Life is often a mystery awaiting for those to be challenged in both mind and spirit. The direction of that life is equally a mystery for us all.

OK, being a guy, I can add a different perspective. First, JB ol' buddy... I AGREE with you 100%! Most men are VERY straight forward and don't take to subtlety too well, unless they are wizards (yes, see Tolkein's quote). Second, those of us who are subtle and geniuses (I count two)may be able to pick up the secret, but its so much more comforting to just come out and say it, no matter how blunt an instrument the truth may be. Personally, I don't like hints. I don't like clues. Tell me what is going on, because if I figure out that you were being sly earlier to my detriment, I am gonna be how shall I say it?... PISSED!
As for playing the secret message game with women: I have found in my own experience that many believe they want that sort of mystery in their lives, but most either read much too much into
every reference after that, or are not clever enough to catch me at my subtlety. No offense to anyone, it's just the way it has been.
So just remember the old joke:
Two psychiatrists pass each other in the hospital halls. The first one says, "Good Morning!" and the second one thinks, "I wonder what he meant by that?"

Rose,
Yeah, an art form until it is not an art form but just a complete mess. The question is where to you draw the line? Sometime I guess I just don't know.

Kate,
I do not know if it is avoiding conflict or mearly the yearning to not hurt someone. I know that the hardest thing I face is hurting someone, it hurt me to the very depth of my being. It is not the conflict, coflict I can handle. But if someone is dear and what has to happen is hurtful, I can not bear to do it. It hurts so deeply.
Call me a softy and sentimental.

SunRise,
I know... see what I am saying, read my mind, understand I do not want to hurt you but I have to do this. I know, I know... I just don't know any other way to not hurt someone. I DON'T WANT TO HURT SOMEONE.

Dude,
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sometimes it's a cuban.
