The Squads and RCs only came out on deep days , so they didn ' t get too beat up . I think the Squads were my first true powder ski and I loved their stiffness and traditional cut . I think giving up the tail in a reverse camber ski throws out a lot of options for steering , recovery moves , and speed control . I went with Supers because I thought the Squads were too much ski , even for big days . I ' ve never been hampered or slowed with them , but when you get into that size they ' re a one trick pony . Figured I ' d get just a little more versatility from the Supers . <| sep |> As others have said , most guys are oblivious when it comes to hints . For example , if I think a woman is dropping me hints that could equally be interpreted as being friendly , I assume she ' s just being friendly . After all , that ' s a lot more likely , and if I misread her and mistakenly thought she was flirting , I could easily offend her . A woman would practically have to grab me and say , I want to date you for me to be anywhere near confident that she was interested . So be bold . Make the first move . I ' ve missed some good opportunities because I hesitated and suggested we hang out or get together . Men will generally need things like this spelled out for them , especially if they ' re 28 and still have yet to date . It ' s possible that he ' s not really interested in relationships , but it ' s also possible that he ' s stuck in a vicious circle of low selfesteem causing an inability to find dates which further hurts selfesteem . Consider giving him a compliment . Most men very rarely receive compliments , and so they tend to mean a lot . Bottom line Go for it . Don ' t worry about it . State in no uncertain terms that you ' re romantically interested don ' t take the easy way out with ambiguous phrases like hang out . Compliment him but not too much , since it can be really confusing and shocking to someone not used to them . Just go get ' im .
