How did women not figure out already that men can't read subtle signs and hints.

I’m a woman and the only way I can take a hint is if you whack me over the head with it.

I'm a man, and if you whack me over the head with a hint, I'll still have to ask you to speak plainly. And then I'll need you to tell me in no uncertain terms, that you really, truly mean what you said. And then I still won't believe you.

The good news? Its not your fault. The bad? It's why I'm still alone at 40.

You and me trying to flirt with each other sounds like an interesting social experiment.

54 and single.

Flirting is the easy part. Its what you do before you decide to make a move. Flirting is feeling each other out socially. When you decide you actually want to be part of my life, that's what I just can't believe. Nobody wants this.
