I realize you're asking Steve that question, but I just wanted to say that for me, if a person is asking questions or approaching communication with win/win in mind, then you're on the right track. If (s)he is asking questions with a win/lose approach, or even win/draw, then you're in stalker land.
If you pay attention, it's not hard to notice when you're dancing with someone in conversation, even if you're being led, and when you're being worked over.
