Dobler/Dahmer

According to the How I Met Your Mother Wiki:

"If both people are into each other, then a big romantic gesture works: Dobler; but if one person isn't into the other, the same gesture comes off serial-killer crazy: Dahmer."

I had a realization last night. I totally misread the guy's actions as interest. He was just being friendly. I read things into it because I wanted it to have meaning. I was interested in him and hoped the gestures actually meant something.

Some other guy tried those same gestures last night and I was thinking he was moving too fast. But that was because I wasn't interested in him.

Sometimes our emotions totally bias our thinking. Maybe I should learn to be a bit more disconnected sometimes to spare me any hurt.
