Well, yeah. There's a difference between wanting to hit it and quit it and having a sexual desire that comes with genuinely liking someone. The former views me as a piece of meat, and that's easy to clock. I should have been more clear, but I thought sexual desire being a spectrum was implied.

That isn’t as true as you think. Communication is often the weakest part of any relationship (romantic, platonic, professional). Everyone has their own language and very few people are willing to adapt to someone else’s way of communicating, even when that effort should be mutual.

I can always tell when someone wants to get in my pants (danger signals I developed as a young girl), but I can never tell when someone genuinely likes me.
