"Sign Language"
Back in grade school, I can recall day dreaming in class for the duration of the sign language portion of the lesson. Today, the ability to read sign language is a lost art. There are many days when I wonder how much better equipped at reading signals I might be today if only I paid closer attention back then. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to rely on your ability to feel a person out or to pick up on their subliminal messages? It can prove to be quite a challenge to accurately interpret signals given off by a member of the opposite sex.
For example, have you ever gone out on a first date and although you may have felt like you'd made an obvious love connection with your companion, you weren't exactly sure whether he/she felt the same way? If you've experienced a similar situation then it's likely that you've also undergone that awkward moment which occurs between the pause in your conversation and the point where you decide whether you'll actually lean in for the first kiss.
Regardless of age, situations like this always leave us searching for signals. In our subconscious we're thinking "I hope she meets me half way when I lean in for this kiss". Or perhaps we've wondered something as simple as, "ok, we/ve made eye contact sooo should I go over and introduce myself, now?" Wouldn't it be great to have a built in radar which allowed us to pick up on the subliminal signals of the opposite sex? Unfortunately that's unrealistic so in the interim how about making it easy for the next gal or guy and just let them know what's on your mind? Be blessed.

As someone that knows basic American Sign (Language)
I’m sorry to inform you that once again, you’ve missed your target Mr. C-luv.
It seems better intuition is what you really seek, not to be fluent in a Foreign language.
If having a sixth sense is not innate for you, I suggest two options to consider- 1. Be gusty and go for what you want! After all, we regret the things we don’t do more than those things we actually do. 2. Be patient until your not second-guessing the feeling!
BTW, this is not one of your most thought-provoking WOTD. Perhaps your forcing these feelings… I mean thoughts!

Intuition is one thing but people regularly communicate via non-verbal cues or 'signs'. The parallel between sign language and this other silent form of communication that C-Luv is trying to draw is not as far fetched as the previous poster makes it seem.
As for the post itself. It would be cool to be able to read the signals. But that excited, nervous, slightly queasy feeling you get when you don't know for sure is the stuff great romance stories are built on. ;-)
Wow! Thank you for your feedback Mr/Ms. Anonymous. Always welcomed and greatly appreciated.
I tried to make it obvious that my WODs, especially here lately, have been analogous. Therefore, it's not my intent to hit a particular "target" but rather and instead to draw attention to the similarities b/t my topic and some other substance.
Also, I think it's safe for me to say that I never force my WODs. I take my craft far too serious to ever do such a thing. I'll stop writing long b4 I resort to forcing the issue.

My apologies, the "target" reference meant no more than the kiss you may have longed for while standing on the doorstep, mixed with my personal sensitivity to not appreciate your sign language analogy. Guess that's not my earthtone. : )
Good to hear you'll always keep it real though! Don't ever change.
Best..
