But you do it. I fuss about it, I hope they notice that I'm interested, I flirt in hopes that I can figure out whether I'm really interested and it might last, or will wear off fast.
Back when I was dating more actively, I'd often think someone was a very good match for me and find out after a few months and some drama that the match was actually pretty bad, so now I have this tendency to sort of dance around someone I'm interested in, without saying anything, for a long time, hoping to figure out without words whether s/he's more deeply interested in me, or whether I'm actually and truly really interested or have a crush that's not maintainable. Sometimes it takes knowing someone for awhile to find that out. Then, after much dancing, it becomes moot, or too late.
Sometimes I wish I were more bold about it, but sometimes I think that will just screw things up.
