Yes, very often this is the case. However, that can sometimes be down to the fact that the person you fancy may not believe you'd want them and denies it to themselves, or perhaps they don't fancy you and will therefore not give off any signals.
yeah i agree if were talking girls its usually the opposite for guys, i think girls are more dismissive of guyss fancying them, but guys just need a reason to brag.
Yeah I think that is true :smile:

trust me i have got a lot to lose!
I believe often people do see the signs, i.e. do think that the girl/boy fancies him/her et cetera...but is scared too act upon things, thus gives you the impression that he/she is clueless thus as a protection mechanism as such. Some can be scared ****less, crazy i know, when such scenarios arise...

We all have intuition, we just shy away from things, often deliberately/consciously...

A lot of the time friends assume you fancy a person, even though you just like being around that person without fancying them.

The classics arsehole friend question is:

Friend: “Do you fancy her?”
You: “Erm, not really”
Friend: “Why not?”

Bar I’m gay/in a relationship there’s not much you can say.
Unless you're extremely good at picking up on the behaviour of others, and are completely confident in yourself, it's a lot more difficult to tell when someone fancies you than when they fancy a friend of yours. Most people don't like to make judgements about others fancying them because they look stupid if they're wrong. I know in the past I've been told by friends that girls fancy me and been genuinely surprised, even though if I'd seen them acting similarly to someone else I would have probably picked it up.
