How do you girls know a guy is interested in you?
I (26f) had a couple of incidents where I worked with a guy or been casual friends with and sometime along the way I would "find clues" that made me convinced they do like me but in retrospect it was never an obvious sign, just thr way they look at me and interact with me that made me feel "desired" (but maybe that was just the way I interpreted the interactions). In highschool I remember I thought some seniors liked/desired me bc of eye contact, eventhough I was like 4 grades below them and we never even spoke to one another. So I see the roots of the issue being that I always misread the signs (also was big on maladaptive daydreaming). I am now trying more and more to see things clearly but I was just wondering - how can you girls actually tell, "yeah this guy is into me and I can open up my heart and reciprocate" (if you fancy them too)?
Edit: i guess I dont want to be a fool for thinking a guy likes me when he in fact does not.
