The speaker is Blanche, conversing with Mitch after an unsuccessful date. Blanche's comment cements what we already know..... that she firmly believes smiles, flirtation, and the stroking of a man's ego are expected behaviors. In context, this quote is significant because it illustrates what Blanche sees as a woman's role in capturing a man.
