you should be looking for is reciprocated interest.
The other person should be responding with unambiguous interest.

☝☝☝ Thank you kindly for this sage advice!!
So glad and happy this was written in such way.
Just had an aha! moment...seems so simple and logical. I agree with you...SnollyG...!!
Side question is your name take on the game of SnollyGoster...if so which character do you identify with the most. If you don't mind me asking.
Ps: your advice seems appropriate for healthy adult relationships...how would you manage to approach a codependent Alcoholic...a person who until recently didn't know what was wrong with her/him.
