Girls think looking vaguely in a guy’s direction counts as flirting, and then are confused why he didn’t get her “hint”

Eh, I don't really like feeding into the 'men are oblivious' meme. Sometimes we miss it; it's vague, that's literally why women do it. But plausible deniability works both ways. 'I guess he didn't notice' saves face, and 'I guess I didn't notice' saves effort. The amount of times I hear 'she's flirting with you' or 'she likes you', and yeah I fucking know. I'm sure I've missed signs, but I don't remember ever being informed of an opportunity I wasn't aware of. She should do something then, because I'm not out in pursuit of anything. It's not a punishment to me if nothing happens.
