So the Game Has Changed

Getting a guy's point of view totally changes things.

All the while I thought I gave enough signal that I was interested in him. Then my good guy friend tells me it's not.

So just in case any of you are in the same situation, here are some of my friend's advice:

I THOUGHT: The guy has the power to make the first move; the girl has the power to give the go or stop signal.
HE SAID: It's the other way around.

I THOUGHT: Guys would easily ask the girl out once the girl has given off enough feelers.
HE SAID: No we guys are that dumb.

I THOUGHT: Girls overthink.
HE SAID: Guys overthink too. We wonder if the girl is being nice, a tease or into us. So we don't know which way to go after.

I THOUGHT: Guys would add the girl he's interested in.
HE SAID: Guys don't search Facebook. If they do search they won't add since they would come out stalker-ish.

I THOUGHT: The guy's gonna lose interest if the girl doesn't give enough clue.
HE SAID: No, guys want to build suspense too.

Then there's the touch barrier test which apparently is quite universal:

If he has touched you on your back, here are the three conclusions:
1. Too low - for fun
2. Too high - as friends
3. In the middle - chemistry!

This has given me some hope. Hope it would help someone out there too :)
