This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lots of guys are dumb AF and either can't pick up on any signals, or interpret everything as a signal.

Don't forget that not every woman is the same. Actions that are signals for one woman aren't signals for another

Exactly this, my former roommate used to flirt with me all of the time, but I knew she wasn't actually into me. It's just how she acts with her friends.

Meanwhile, a coworker that apparently was into me never acted as if she liked me as more than friends, so I treated her as a friend. I had to find out much later from a mutual friend after she assumed I must not have been interested.

For some people, the "obvious signs" aren't signs at all. Other people think they're telegraphing strongly enough to be seen, but aren't.

Also true.

Either way its safe to assume not interested then, not interested now.

Yes, to all of the above, with caution.
