Does anyone hate when this happens?
I'll give an example:
This one girl that I've hung out with once or twice on campus sees me the other day and says "Haven't seen you in a while."
That's all that happened. But yet the male brain has the will of it's own to take such a simple event and change it into a "Dude, she likes you" thing.
Am I the only crazy one?

Exact same thing happened to me when I saw a girl at a pizza place.
"Haven't seen you in awhile" turned me from regular me into overly shy, easily embarrassed me.

Then again, I've also been led on more times than I would prefer to remember. So maybe my perception is just messed up.  |

Apparently, none of us were ever shown affection as kids if we think every little instance of a girl being nice is "dude she likes me!". I've done it, and I do it from time to time still, but its mostly just a hope, rather than an actual feeling.
Plus, as a male, we don't take obvious hints: we take the ones that aren't there.

What is this "affection" you speak of? I've never heard of it, let alone received it. |

yup happens to me, which is bad when i run the register at the store. Occasionally I get the overly nice girl to come in and they start up some small talk, and thats the first thing i think. Of course, it's just them being nice, but can't hurt to dream.
And yes wolfie, i do talk back and am *usually* nice unless i'm in a bad mood.

We all wanna be liked, I guess. Girls do this a lot too, and their friends totally feed into it. I've seen it happen, and its come to bad results. Stupid high school girls.

Well what exactly is an obvious hint? And to answer the question I do it all the damn time. A cute girl texts me who I didn't know had my number and it's like I gotta stop myself from doing my best Ron Simmons impression. |

I definitely have my moments doing this, but I usually respond by keeping up a conversation. Unfortunately, that can sometimes lead to over-talking to someone who wasn't actually that interested in you, and just wanted to give a friendly "hi", and that's no good, either.
Thing is, since men are so often expected to be the ones to initiate anything having to do with romance, a relationship, or intimacy, it's harder for men to pick up "signals", since we're usually the ones expected to send them out.
