“We can see the “signals” that you’re trying to give us when you’re trying to flirt. The issue isn’t that we’re blind or oblivious, the issue is that we aren’t sure whether we are interpreting the signals correctly. We don’t want to be that guy who makes a move on a girl because we thought she was flirting with us, but she was actually just being nice.

This goes double if you were someone we knew in a non-romantic capacity (i.e. friend, co-worker, etc.). If you’re interested in us, just be the one to initiate and tell us straight up that you’re interested.”
