An '''indicator of interest''', often abbreviated as IOI, is an indicator that a person is interested in you romantically. There are many variations of IOIs. Not all people who are romantically interested are able to give out IOIs properly due to shyness or other difficulties. In addition, many dating-challenged people claim to not get IOIs often enough, if at all. As IOIs seem vague, in some cases this lack of perceived IOIs can be caused by social deficits, e.g. those common to people who suffer from [[Asperger's syndrome|autism]]. | An '''indicator of interest''', often abbreviated as IOI, is an indicator that a person is interested in you romantically.

In addition, many dating-challenged people claim to not get IOIs often enough, if at all. As female provided IOIs seem vague (perhaps owing to their general tendency towards sexual coyness), in some cases this lack of perceived IOIs can be caused by social deficits that make one unable to recognize them, e.g. those common to people who suffer from [[Asperger's syndrome|autism]]. | ||
