    Cool tease

    Hi,

    What does the term "She's a tease" mean?

    Default Re: tease

    Probably (depending on context it's possible to mean something else), it means she suggests, through her words or her actions, she will have sex with you (or at least fool around) but she really will not.

    It's possible to have non-sexual connotations. I talk about my great cookies, tell you I even have some in the car, and you ask for one and I say no, that they're for the school bake sale. You might call me a tease for temping you with my great cookies but not intending to give you any.
    beachboy, emsr2d2 and 5jj like this.
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
