Communication and Bad Timing

This post right here is a tip for the guys out there.

Very clear flirting is still not the same as explicitly asking someone out.

Girls will obviously know when you like them if you're being very flirty -- we pick up on that stuff. But, if you really like her, actually and verbally express this sentiment, because if not, girls will just assume you're a flirty player and not interested in her, but the conquest of her. Remember, she will have noticed how you are with other girls and put two and two together.

And don't play hard to get and force a girl to have to actively pursue you just so the two of you can hang out. If that happens, don't be surprised when a "hang out" is just that, a hang out and not a date. Because, after all this time, she might have a boyfriend. And when you nonchalantly call it a date, when you never specifically entailed what it would be, don't be offended when she has to call you out and explain that it can't be a date, because she has a boyfriend. Even if you pay for everything and she coyly flirts back, know that it can't mean anything. Because she now has a boyfriend. And you now have a lost chance.

But know this: she will agonize over this fact. She will have wished you had been more communicative sooner. She will have wished that she had had the courage to ask you how you felt sooner. She will have wished that she didn't like you as much as she did...or does.

So save yourself a couple of mistakes and regrets: Take the chance and always be clear.
