When I was a high school sophomore, there was a freshman at my school and I could pick up on signs that she had a thing for me.
And I was her type.
But I never asked her out. And now she doesn't like me (as a friend or as relationship material). I don't remember when exactly she stopped liking me, but I know during my senior year she didn't like me anymore. Maybe she's upset that I never asked her out.
That's why I wish it was more socially acceptable for a female to ask a male out.

I know! I hate the fact that people still think that girls who ask guys out are desperate! It's like I'm not desperate, I just want to get to know the guy more! I'm not gonna go on one date with him and say he's my boyfriend or anything like that! It's just a date for crying out loud!

If you want to ask a male out, you should. If you don't, the stereotype will just continue. If enough people like you ask males out, maybe people will stop thinking females are desperate for asking a male out.
The frown was because some people might describe me as a creeper.
But you think there's a difference between shy and creeper? That's good. Because some girls think shy=creeper
Just curious...what were these creepers like and how did they make it obvious that they had a thing for you?
Ohh I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
Yes, there's a difference between being shy and being creepy.
Well, one time in 6th grade there was this really nerdy looking kid (I don't hate nerds just creepy ones) and he would stare at me and follow me everywhere! I finally asked him if he liked me and he said yes! Shallow I know but aren't we all shallow?
Then there was this other time a few months ago where I was at the library printing out a paper for class, and there was this guy sitting next to me who started talking to me and had a really creepy voice! It turns out that he wasn't even a student at my school and was using the library computers to watch "Ghost of Girlfriend's Past!" and when I got out of the library, some girl told me that the guy had stalked one of her friends!! I went to the school security and told them about him! And a few weeks later, someone of his description appeared at another nearby college and had assaulted a girl! !!!

I think the first example has more to do with being young than being creepy. The same guy might act different now (or maybe not). I had no clue how to talk to girls in 6th grade.
Was the guy at the library around your age? Or was he old?
And I think the only reason I got labelled as a creeper in high school is because I was unpopular.

Well even in 6th grade we still thought it was creepy and stalkerish.
The guy at the library looked around my age.
Ohhh I see. That's why I hate the whole "popularity" thing.
Some people say you can pick up on it when someone has a thing for you. But I don't believe that. You hear people wondering if someone has a thing for them. If they could tell, there would be no need to wonder.
They might think someone shows signs of having a thing for them. And I've picked up on signs like that before. But there is no way to be sure if someone has a thing for you.
I agree! One thing to always keep in mind and which will spare us many a heartache is that people like to flirt. You see flirting and receiving a positive response to the flirting confirms their attractiveness. It provides a feeling of assurance via bolstering self esteem. So the signals that one receives are not all due to genuine interest in comencing an amorous relationship despite their seemingly sincere aspect.
