What Does hesitate Mean
Historical evolution made the Latin word vacillāre reach our language as vacillate . This verb can be used with different meanings according to the context.
Wavering can be the act of hesitating, wavering, or wavering . For example : "A striker should never hesitate if he is alone in front of the goalkeeper" , "When the mother asked him where he had gone after dinner, the young man began to hesitate" , "If you disrespect me again, I will not go to hesitate before hitting you in the face ” .
Hesitation, in this context, is a state of doubt or perplexity . Suppose that, in an exam, a teacher asks a student which is the capital of Nepal . If the student answers “Kathmandu” immediately, they will have answered without hesitation. On the other hand, if you start to babble and go around before answering, you are hesitating as you are not sure which is the correct answer.
The verb to vacillate, on the other hand, can refer to something that moves without pause or that is unstable , with little firmness: "After the detonation, the building hesitated a few seconds before collapsing" , "I hope the wind will slow down window stops wavering " , " The car will waver when cornering, but don't worry: if you drive carefully, you won't have any problems . "
In the colloquial speech of some countries , hesitating consists of making fun of or deceiving someone : "I think the boy hesitated when he told me that the road was in good condition" , "When I see Ernesto, I'm going to hesitate because of the photo that was published in the newspaper ” .
In relation to this last meaning that concerns us with the term we are dealing with, we can state that there are those who, as a tool to flirt, resort to vacillating the person they like. It is clear that it is not an effective technique, since each individual prefers some things and not others, but in many cases it is usually useful.
Specifically, putting it into practice basically consists of attracting the attention of the other but not "giving" the ear with beautiful phrases, words of love or even with compliments, but quite the opposite. It consists of "teasing" him, in getting his attention without showing that he wants to flirt in order to avoid him being on the defensive and then, once he has been able to relax, proceed to develop the skills of seduction but without falling into clichés.
This hesitant flirting technique is considered to be a good option for trying to get people who are emotionally successful and used to flirting.
In addition, we must also highlight the fact that many people make mistakes when writing the term in question since they confuse it with bacillary. However, they are different verbs. Thus, bacillary is the one used to refer to two aspects:
-On the one hand, within the scope of Medicine and Biology, it refers to everything that has to do with bacilli.
-On the other hand, in the field of geology it is used to refer to what is identified by having texture in thick fibers.
