I use to have this issue—I can now tell when ppl like me. It’s just a sense idk how to describe it. Just a higher awareness of those around you and acknowledging that ppl do like you that way. I’ve never liked someone so I can’t tell you that. Ppl have told me different attractions feel differently, but they struggle describing it. But apparently some ppl think I am attracted ppl by how I act, but I’m just being myself. I match a good vibe and go with it.
Which gets me into problems sometimes, but on the other hand I’m not going to stop being myself and connecting w others in fear they are going to be attracted to me. I think aro/ace ppl struggle w this across the board bc we just don’t experience it. We don’t think that way. We don’t think about ppl the same way allos do
