How is it women notice men checking them out but I’ve never noticed women doing it to men, and especially me?

Note: I’ve been told that they were checking me out before, so I know it’s happening.

Women are definitely more discreet, but I also think that men don’t pick up on things the same way women do

This. My ex husband had a friend for years. The first time I met her I told him she was in love with him. (She was always very nice to me, never any hint of whatnot. I truly felt for her.) He didn't believe me. I told him to pay attention next time they met, really pay attention. He was flabbergasted and told me I was right. I have no idea why/how men don't notice these things.

For me, flirting is a foreign language that I neither speak nor understand.

I'm the same. I'd rather be friends first, then evolve through mutual interest and understanding.
