Anyway, I ran into my ex-friend's ex with whom I hooked up a couple of weeks ago. I feel I got the brush-off. I think I've made it clear that I'd like more but our friend can be quite shy romantcially, so maybe my signals aren't getting through. It just seems impossible to think that my feelings aren’t obvious.

I read an article on MSN interviewing "communications expert" Dr. Lillian Glass and realize that I've checked every trick of the list as far as demonstrating interest. I am very good at giving 100 percent of my attention to someone, I like. My feet point towards the person, I lean in to listen, I leave my arms unfolded, I touch the other's shoulder multiple times and I nod to show my agreement.

I couldn't have hung any harder on every word said to me Saturday night. However, as intense as the conversation seemed to be, it was mostly me listening intently while my crush talked and talked without interruption and with enormous intensity.

However, the passion wasn't for me or even the subject. Intense people like this individual, get fired up about anything. They appreciate the sound of their own voice. They look you in the eye and grab your arm but it's all just posturing to make their point.

Notice, I'm not admitting to seeing any negative body language like the doc mentions. I give up the smokes, but hang onto denial as much as every word said by the apple of my eye. I'm hoping seeming indifference is merely playing hard to get.
