I’m a clueless woman, I can’t read men’s interest worth beans. UNLESS they spell it out for me, I have always assumed they are just being friendly. OK, try not to laugh, I usually can’t read my own interest level. When I fall for a guy, I’m never expecting it, it comes as a shock.
People who are scared of rejection don’t send much out in the way of signals. That’s my observation. They can be interested to beat the band…. but no big hoopla.
So, being clueless that a guy is hitting on me has been an asset BECAUSE only the ones sending out strong signals (not scared of rejection) get picked up by my radar. On the other hand, my biggest fear is that I am sending out signals without knowing it AND that by the time I figure out I really like a guy, he’s been picking up my signals before I knew I was sending them out — HOW EMBARRASSING IS THAT??
I guess I’m more outcomes based than I used to be. I’m not embarrassed if the outcome is good!

I haven’t a clue what’s going on here…
