Part of it is, I think of me as Not Someone To Hit On in some pivotal way. So if a guy looks at me intensely, I've got something in my teeth. If a woman gives me the eye, it's cause I've got stupid hair. I don't do that to other people so sometimes I notice.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

I never know when someone's hitting on me. When I was single it always took getting to the grab-kiss-what? moment before the light bulb went off.
On the other hand, I'm great at pointing out to my clueless friends when someone's into them.

YES. I give excellent relationship advice to other people. When it's my life, it's a freaking train wreck.
Depressingly, this is also me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
erika is me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Although I'm getting better at the signs, I still have the wrinkle of "Well, he liked me last week. He could be married to someone he just met by now."
Yes, it's quite insane. But that's what a lack of clarification does for me. I don't believe he is married. I just acknowledge that he might still like me, and then again he might not. He doesn't owe me anything. Stuff happens. If he's never said anything in the first place, he doesn't even have to tell me he changed his mind.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I've had to point it out to my mother when she's been hit on. It's been pretty funny. The woman can preen like nobody's business.
I'm usually very aware of it when someone is hitting on me (as opposed to just general flirting, which is a way of life for me). It's the sussing out if there's a deeper interest that I can't seem to do.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. Thinking you're Neuter Girl, not so FG.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
On the flipside of that, girl I pined for in highschool that I ended up having a relationship with much later, was like-wise oblivious at the time. When we finally got together years later, we were talking about our highschool days and I confessed to my crush on her back then and she was taken aback. She then went and asked everyone that had known us both back then that she was still in contact with and they all said "Yeah, I knew that. How did you not know?" Including her mother. Which we both found kind of funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
Also, has this been answered this before?

Because, um, I'm leaving, I'm so very, very tempted to tell one of our AEs that I am not a graphic designer, and her requests are inappropriate.
I think I even can phrase this diplomatically.
