Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I’m wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.
I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don’t want to risk it.
Historically, I’ve been terrible at interpreting hints. These days, I often worry about whether these hints are genuine, leading me to assume they are simply being kind.
Whenever I attempted to decipher these hints in the past, I was invariably rejected. Consequently, as an adult, my self-esteem has suffered greatly. So much so, that with the last woman who dropped hints, I merely wanted to be friends. Five years later, I still think about it.
Needless to say, my job doesn’t provide many opportunities to meet women.
