women: i can't believe he's so oblivious, i'm giving so many signals
men: i am not lovable, attractive or of any worth, i dismiss all signals because i can't believe they are real

Yes. That said I also have respect for how that belief ("i am undesirable") came into being and was reinforced
From pers experience, even with massive awareness, emotional intuition keeps the score, and it's really really hard to cultivate the inverse ("i am desirable") tangibly

this is so true. I really wish e]we’d all get over ourselves and just say what we are thinking…

agreed. that would solve so many issues, given that the social space where you can do this kind of dance routine is rapidly shrinking.
eg at work you can send me as many signals as you want, I‘ll never reciprocate. the potential downside is just too big.
