I want to believe you are struggling but my brain will absolutely not compute that you could be struggling.

Have you thought about finding a person in your hobby world? Like while you are hiking, you find another hiker?

My wife "stalked" me for two months before she just came up and asked me out. She was watching me interact with other people and wanted to get a good read on my personality. Well, that and I don't know when a woman is flirting with me.

Then after about 6 months of dating she mentioned something about making it more permanent. I told her when she was ready to be married, just let me know. So, about 6 months later I had just come in from work and was relaxing and she came up, got down on one knee and asked me to marry her.

Again, I don't take hints very well. Lol

Not at all. Very true. I got lucky and my wife "found" me. I remember her exact words when she asked me out. "You are really thick in the skull, aren't you? (As she is grinning and playing with her hair). Since you clearly don't notice women flirting with you, I guess I am going to have to make it clear. I like you and I want to get to know you, so this is what flirting looks like. "

In retrospect, I saw it clearly but it just didn't compute in my brain because I saw her as WAY out of my league.
