Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

I had a woman flirting with me yesterday at the bulk food store. Happened to be at the coffee grinder, and she was struggling with it, and I just spontaneously teased "you broke it I'm telling"!

This led to a little bit of banter and talking about recipes, which led back to how she likes to get her coffee here.

I told her how I like ro enjoy my morning espresso.

She smiled and gave me that flirtatious side look and mellifluously intoned "I'd sure love some morning espresso... Brought to me in bed..."

The words floated off my lips "is your kitchen floor cold? Should I bring my slippers?"

She immediately looked shocked, faced directly at me pie-eyed. "I should have known better. Typical response from a man."

I was fucking gobsmacked.

Don't ever tell me that men don't pick up signals, we have been trained... by women, to never pick up signals.
