Doesn't matter much at the moment since I am not single, but a recurring problem since back then I am not sure how to handle: at businesses were you are a regular, like coffee shops, a cute or sometimes hot hired gun will give me IOIs (flirt, ask questions, be giggly and silly) and I keep the banter flirtatious, ALMOST ALWAYS there is one or two other female coworkers of the woman who will vie for attention, get bitter, and ****block the cute girl. It's more of a curiosity to know how to deal with this since you can't be too obvious when they are working, but I have noticed it at different places...
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
