i probably could have made that a shorter title. oh well.
anyway i didnt realize until recently that just because a guy is flirting with you, doesnt mean he is interested. it is very frustrating, but i learned not to take flirts seriously at all. i didnt learn it until i asked out this guy in my grad program. he had flirted with me a few times and even once said something like "would you ever go out with a mexican guy?" and i took that as a sign he was interested. he wasnt.
Yes, that is true. I am a flirt by nature...while I do not feel like it's flirting because there may be no interest, I have been told I treat men and women very differently and it comes off as flirting.
So yes, I suspect that is the case with many guys.

For most people, what they say they want and actually want are two different things. A small number get beyond this as they age and mature but for the most part, this dosn't change.
I have learned over the years that I am not capable of changing anyone, I can only change my reactions to them. Once you learn this you are a happier person.
I have also learned that no matter how much you think you love someone, you can move on and be happy without them. You cannot make someone love you. If it doesn't work for them then it's not working for either of you. Best to move on and find someone who will love you as much as you love them.

One thing I have learned? Be very cautious. I usually take a long time to really "fall" for someone anyway, but now it probably takes me twice as long. And I am more aware of subtle signs that a guy is just not for me.
