I definitely have moments when I wonder if I could have played my cards better. But I’ve also catastrophically misread interactions and embarrassed myself to the point where we just stopped talking to each other entirely.
Also been friends with someone who doggedly insisted “We’re just friends”, then decided she wanted me one night, then insisted it meant nothing and she just wanted to be friends again. shrug
Even worse, “hey that woman has given me no signals whatsoever but I think she’s hot so who knows, she might want to sleep with me, let’s escalate and find out, what’s the worst that can happen”
I have those random realisations on the theme of ‘hey that woman who was on my sofa last month wanted to have sex with me’
Make sure you’re really mean else I may not notice.

Romance just be like that sometimes.
