So we hear the term "assume attraction" all the time. Most guys take this as a mantra to think every girl they see walking around thinks they are hot and wants to meet up for kisses. But I just learned something about the concept of assuming attraction. What if you were in a situation where you have done something for a woman without wanting something in return. If she re engages you what might a person who thinks too much therorize "She feels obligated to talk to me now that I've bought her that drink or let her use my charging cable (my situation that just happened); probably isn't actually interested." Well that is where assuming attraction should most be applied. You don't know the intentions of this woman. Maybe she asked to borrow your cable cause she thought you were cute and wanted to strike up a conversation but didn't know how; maybe not. The point is, you don't know and her re engaging you should be the go ahead. If she is actually into you, she'll express it. If not, she will express it. So when a woman is engiging you, THAT is when you assume attraction
