I had an argument with female friend of mine who says that men should approach women in public if there are “micro-green flags” like a glance that lasts a second too long, a genuine smile, or open body language.
My stance is that are notoriously bad at detecting “micro-green flags”.
How the hell does anyone know if a look is lingering or they’re just zoning out?
Listen, I’m generally not a fan of arbitrary romantic or sexual signals. It is a bad idea to expect people you are interested in to be mind readers.
