30 years, 4 kids and one soon-to-be grandchild later: "Results still inconclusive, further observation required."
Yea, you can’t really tell. Maybe she’s from Canada and was just being polite.

I'm not autistic. Everybody else is just weird.
Team: Nobody actually ever flirted with me, and just the audacity to entertain any romantic Idea could me considered an insult to the person of the highest magnitude.
Edit: I'm getting ratioed by memes.
*This meme will make a fine addition to my collection*

Team: Anyone trying to genuinely flirt with me has bad enough judgment to be a red flag, or they are baiting a reaction. Not that I put my self in that kind of environment where flirting can occur in the first place.
I’m like 80% sure at this point, she keeps trying to hold my arm or hand, she said she wanted me to touch her ass the other day, and she also invited me to watch a show in her bedroom at one point.
idk for sure tho :/

yea but that was like 3 days ago
You’re right, she’s probably not interested anymore
Maybe she's Canadian.
So what ? it's just a show. I too, love movies
A woman I liked invited me over to watch some Buffy and we decided it got too late for me to go home, so I prepared to sleep on the sofa. She invited me to share her bed and I declined because I didn't want to inconvenience her. I was right, right? Right?
Women who go from 0 to 100 throw me off. So, she's inviting you for sex without any kissing or anything leading up to it? Was watching Buffy supposed to be the foreplay?
I don't know! Maybe there were other signs I missed? Maybe it was a last effort before I left in the morning? Maybe she really was just being nice? I guess it's a mystery I'll take to my grave.
Don't beat yourself up. Here's how I see it.
The big thing I'm concerned with here is *consent*. Sleeping together does not imply consent. If you're sleeping with me and you want sex, then you have to make that clear in some way. I'm not going to initiate sex if there isn't something going on that makes it clear that you want sex. Watching Buffy together doesn't cut it. Otherwise, I could wind up raping somebody, and I don't want to do that.
Think about if the roles were reversed. Would *you* invite a woman over, watch some TV, and then ask her to get into bed with you, expecting sex? If it was seduction, it was the most clumsy and indirect seduction ever.
They might be Canadian
This, but *also* oblivious at the same time.
don't leave out the fear of being title IX'd
Going bankrupt?
Oh wait, that's chapter 11..
So you're foreign and afraid of the director of the CIA spying on you to copy your flirtation techniques? Completely understandable.
lol i came to terms with that long ago
I'm going to bore him to death.
Now watch, as I open Netflix, scroll around for a bit, don't click on anything, close Netflix, open YouTube look at some channels, don't watch anything, close YouTube, open Netflix again, still nothing, close Netflix, fuck it, I'll watch Stargate again on DVD.
"She's so cute, there's no way she's single. She's probably just being really nice when she talks to me everyday"
she probably thinks of me like a brother, no way am I going to make it weird now
Holy shit get out of my brain.
Team "Not bothering to look for signs/flirting and just asking out people I like and crossing my fingers."

This comes readily to mind.
nah I'm team actually completely oblivious
Someday I want a tv series where after 8+ episodes of flirting, it turns out that the guy was not oblivious: He just had zero interest in the girl in question.
The flipside of "the worst she can say is no."
