I found out several months after I moved away from South Carolina that several girls I was friends with had an interest in me and I never picked up on it. I don't know if it's we get gun shy, if we're dense, or what. Most of the time one of the rules that have been passed around in e-mails labeled Man's Rules is true: subtle hints don't work, obvious hints don't work, if you don't come out and say exactly what you mean, we have no clue.
