I could be the third base coach. I have a great collection of "signals".
OK this sort of comment is why people might be getting the impression you're hard-up. You know, since you're talking about signals and all ...
But as one who's in a similar self-created desert created by being particularly selective while surrounded by not-quite-matches, I feel your pain. Recently a barman at an Irish pub that shall not be named told me: "You look like a rape waiting to happen. And I don't mean with you as the victim." Heh, what happened to "You look nice today."
