Of course, I chose this article because it caught my eye. I've often wondered why guys feel the need to be so direct all the time. What's wrong with the way girls do things, such as sending nonverbal messages? Well, this article laid it out there, plain and simple.
A research was studied about how women act upon meeting a new guy in the first 10 minutes. I thought it was interesting that in the first minute, whether the woman liked the guy or not, she acted polite and, overall, the same. It was in the 4th-10th minutes that she started sending NONverbal signals. The article author stated that this was the problem: guys can't distinguish between whether a girl is being polite, or sending those signals. When I thought about it, it did seem legit. When a girl thinks a guy's cute and is interested, she usually doesn't throw herself at him within the first 10 minutes, which is the directness some guys seem to prefer. This is probably where much of the "does he or doesn't he?" confusion comes from!
This was an easy-read article that really made me think. Definitely somthing for us girls to think about!

Clearly makes sence doesn't it. Kind of pops out as a hindsight bias. We should have just known that batting our eye lashes and laughing at their jokes (even when they aren't funny) is not enough for the guys to pick up on even when we feel like we're way out there. In their eyes, it takes much more. To end the confusion i guess would to be to stop playing the games. Seems easy but its probably easier said than done. Nice blog, i liked it.
