How good are you picking up signs someone likes you?

[Anonymous]

Honestly, I am terrible at picking up signs unless they tell me. Then again I still don’t know if they’re telling the truth. I had bad experiences so I just play it off as them being friendly or nice. Or just being flirty.

I think I'm pretty good at detecting signals, and always have been.

It would have been nice if confidence had automatically come along with youth, but it didn't for me.

So, I let many signals go unrequited, so to speak.

Life has pretty much all happened for me now. Regrets of opportunities not taken are my biggest.

Just sayin'.

I'm okay I guess. Haha no. I'm probably the worst person I know at it. Like Ray Charles at an Easter egg hunt level of proficiency, but only now, because Ray Charles is dead. If a woman doesn't explain it to me like she would to an autistic poodle I just think she's being friendly.

I am terrible at it
Someone has to tell me or il likely miss the sign completely

Being flirty is usually a good sign someone likes you, Sasha.

[Asker]

Not really.

[loveslongnails]

Sure it is. That's the whole point of it. If you think it's not real flirtation, then you're being mocked.

[loveslongnails]

I'm not trying to be mean by saying this, but you view yourself as toxic and don't date, correct? You're probably not the best source for advice on flirtation or dating rituals?

[Asker]

Never said I was.

[Asker]

And those who have flirted with me, it wasn’t real.

[loveslongnails]

Then it probably wasn't flirting. It might just have been "teasing". The two seem to be the same, but they're not. Flirting has an accompanying motive to gain attention and favor, while teasing can be for many other things and doesn't care about gaining favor.

[Asker]

That makes more sense.

Basic truth. We might try to find excuses for our actions but u never know the resultant effect of how something will play out except u try.

Oh, I'm absolutely terrible at picking up signs.. I'm the world's most clueless guy.

[Darkest-Knight]

There are signs?

[Asker]

I guess 🤷‍♀️

[Darkest-Knight]

I guess I'm not very good at picking them up then. LOL

[Titlover01]

Really wish I could tell

[Luopio27]

I guess 3/10
