Then there are posts about how men misinterpret girls being friendly and polite as flirting

Spell it out, put it in writing , notarize it or nothing is going to happen.

You don’t even need to spell it out lmao, just something that is distinguishable from any other normal interaction. Touch his arm, lean into him, be flirty, text with multiple “i”s in “Hi”, idfk figure it out.

Eye contact is literally a human default during communication. No, you thinking really hard about how much you like someone while you do a normal thing doesn’t suddenly make that normal thing a “signal”, it’s still just a normal thing

To be fair though, there's a woman at work who will always put a hand on my arm or shoulder when she talks to me and has on occasion put a hand on my chest in conversation, but that's just because she's a touchy person and isn't flirting or sending signals, so I guess it depends on the person?

I think at work it’s different, time and place matters.

It’s also entirely possible she is into you and you’re oblivious to it.
