My own past experience is that I’m awful at reading signals. I’d been taken by complete surprise in the past to learn that some people had a crush on me and my initial response had been to either disbelieve it or else assume it wasn’t serious. Sometimes it would dawn on me mid-conversation that the other person had a markedly different idea of where things were headed and I’d be left trying (and failing) to disengage gracefully.
