The discussion centers around a neighbor's comment that the landlady views the original poster as a "Romeo," which raises questions about the nature of their interactions. The poster is confused about whether to be more or less friendly with the landlady, given that they have only had one girlfriend during their time living there. Participants speculate on the landlady's intentions, suggesting she might have a crush or simply be misinterpreting the poster's friendly demeanor as flirtation. The conversation shifts to broader themes of miscommunication and assumptions in social interactions, with anecdotes illustrating how people can mistakenly believe they are being flirted with based on friendly behavior. The dialogue highlights the complexities of interpreting social cues and the tendency for individuals to project their feelings onto others.

Sometimes I think the 'other' person has something going on in 'their' mind a lot of the time---

One local grocery store changed it layout, I didn't know where something was. I asked a lady that was looking at some item, 'where the bread was', and she turned toward me, got one of those little smiles on her face, and she said, "I'm married".

So that's what I've been doing wrong! I've heard that a good place to pick up people is in the grocery store, but never realized the "code" was to ask them where the bread is.
