Implied sexuality
 Eye contact (Commons). Implied is a frame, not a riddle she can't opt out of.

Implied sexuality > overt is iceberg shorthand: better a sexual frame she can feel than a crude announcement. In practice: sexualization early enough to opt out, not a dirty joke dumped on a stranger. Implied is still intent. It is not plausible deniability for a grope.[1][2]
Method
- Eyes, pace, a remark that is not buddy-talk.
- Kino that matches. If she stiffens, stop that beat.
- Overt can work when the frame is already sexual. Starting overt on a cold open is usually calibration failure, not bravery.
Failure mode
So implied she never knows you're interested — friend zone. Or so overt she has to manage you.
