If you are really interested in a particular girl, show some interest yourself too to get things start going. Many girls wait for customers to show their interest first, so they dont need to "loose face" by approacing a man who is not interested in them.

This is very interesting. Do the girls "lose face" when they approach you and you say no thanks? Is it different if they are just grabbing your arm as you walk past and saying "sit down please" vs. when you are in their bar and they are bringing the wet towel, massaging shoulders, and making more of an attempt to get you to take them home, etc.? Since this happens all the time, and since the thais are so concerned with face, I would think that no girls could be aggressive and not "lose face". For that matter, is just being a bar girl a loss of face? It doesn't seem to be, as I suspect most working-class thais wish they had that kind of money...
