Both of you understanding the issue is a good starting place. If you make
an effort to understand the AS models of flow control, and the AS person
makes an effort to understand NT flow control. It still won't work
ideally (since they are probably based on things the other person doesn't
observe). In an intimate relationship, you could probably work out your
own models and just learn them.
