His name was Rob and oh boy, was he a looker. Dark hair, blue eyes, killer smile (sorry this is reading like a cheesy Harlequin ), but he was very shy and I interpreted that as non-interest. A few friends of ours told me later that he liked me, but he thought that I wanted nothing to do with him.
Oh, the places Rob and I could have gone together.
In thinking back, I've had girls who would focus on me when talking to a group or come up to sit by me and talk. But being the dummy I was at the time, I didn't realize they were interested until days or months later. By the time I got it, they had moved on thinking I wasn't interested.
They probably read on some internet forum that women like to be "friends first" and then date.
I know a lot of women don't care for that approach (they feel it's misleading) but I would have gone out with either of these two guys if they ever asked. I just figured they only wanted to be friends. And who knows, maybe they did and had other reasons for cutting me out of their lives that had nothing to do with an interest in me (I never asked). It just seemed weird that they both left/turned cold as soon as I was seeing someone.
I don't ever see the signs. I am always wrong. Anytime I am sure a woman is insterested in me, she isn't, and when I think she isn't, I find out years later she was and of course by the time I find this out she is in a relationship or married
When I was in my early 20s a fellow graduate student of mine who was studying design told me to come to her studio for lunch some time and she gave me the room key, but to make sure that I knock before barging in because she might be doing naked yoga(I found out later she made that up but was just trying to pique my interest). When I never met up with her invited me to play intramural softball with her, which I did, but I was oblivious again when I declined to go out for drinks afterwards. She asked me if I wanted to go running, and we went for a nice jog, but just chatted about research and stuff. Finally she called me up and said that she had been trying hard to get me to ask her out but that she was sick of it and that if I liked her she wanted to go out and if I didn't she wanted me to stay away. We dated for nine months and I still consider her a friend. I am not usually that dense, but I think I was thrown off due to the fact that she was French and spoke with a heavy accent.
OMG, naked yoga, science, and a french accent? Boy oh boy, I hope you have adjusted your sensors by now!

Also, is she currently available?
She was studying some sort of interior design, and she said she made up the yoga thing because she thought it would make me curious, so 0/2 on that. The french accent was sexy when she spoke french, but kinda nasally for English. She is married and has two kids and the guy she married runs the pet shelter where I adopted my dog. It is a small world.
If I found a woman that was a scientist with a sexy accent that actually practiced naked yoga that was interested in me like she was I probably would be married to her.
