So I've learned a out myself that I'm useless in picking up on hints. Totally clueless. No new tales, just some introspection. I read various posts about similar things with guys, turns out just about all of us are clueless when it comes to getting a hint. I know, looking back that some women have surely tried to let me know there was interest. Ah well. There were a few times when I realized what was going on, months later.
