OP,
@guru1000 knocked it out of the park--but you need to reread his post & do a little introspection.
Do you have enough experience to really trust your gut...yet? Have you been in enough situations that led to sex that you can say with any accuracy what is 'gut' vs. what is defenses your ego has in place to feel like you 'won' even though you're going home by yourself and have jack sh1t to show for it?
I'm not trying to be a d1ck, but if your gut isn't getting you laid then fvck your gut lol. If your gut makes excuses to rationalize your lack of success at the moment (

I'm sure you're intelligent, observant & intuitive. And I'm sure your gut
does provide you with valuable information--but at this point it's incomplete information--since you don't have enough reference experience testing the veracity of those impressions. I've been there--most of us probably have. I used to brag that I always knew the moment I met a girl whether or not I'd sleep with her--and that was true at the time--but it was because my sample size was small, limited, self-selected, and I wasn't willing to push things & risk overt rejection, so it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. These days, most of my lays come from girls who don't blatantly telegraph their interest, who I wouldn't have approached in the past, and who my gut usually tells me aren't interested until I persist a little bit...and boom.
But before you can get to that point, you have to challenge your assumptions, set your ego aside, and, in situations where your 'gut' isn't giving you the desired outcome, learn how to tune it out.
