Well, there are a lot of reasons people might intentionally do that "appear uninterested" thing, and more reasons that they might do it unintentionally is all I'm saying, so don't preclude it based on that piece of evidence alone. There are weird rules to guy-flirting that I don't really get, and some of them are counter-intuitive if you're approaching the relationship frankly. Someone with more info could back me up on this?
Basically, it's a communications-gap that can be closed with some discussion with the person, though... a simple "you know, if you were interested, you don't have to do that stuff."
I'm kind of considering trying again to take up recording myself playing games. It's something that's had a lot of appeal to me ever since I discovered the whole thing. But I'm really afraid I'm not going to be able to do it. I always feel so frigging nervous just talking to myself out loud, and my various attempts at trying to get around this issue generally ended in failure.
There's also all the technology issues and such I'd have to figure out how to deal with. I really am not sure at all what I'm doing when it comes to this stuff.
PM me if you want tech help. Also, I have discovered in doing that sort of thing that it's a great way to build on my natural tendency to talk to myself! Just don't take yourself too seriously, let your mind wander, and talk to the microphone like it's interested in who you are and what you're doing. Also crack wise or be ridiculous when possible. Should be fine.
