> See, I think ambiguity is hot, But maybe it’s like an inverse bell curve. Maybe being very not-subtle is also hot.

When an opportunity will soon disappear, one must practice the virtue of speed.

When time is of the essence,.waste none on sightseeing, keep your eyes on the ball.

When you realise you know your destination, you have already arrived.

You're right that one shouldn't lie to themselves; if they'll be there someday epistemically, they should be there now; but this is about their beliefs, not about their actions. One can aesthetically enjoy flirting in a subtle way and getting together slowly, even though the destination is visible immediately.

The dance is part of the fun! Keep flirting and maintain ambiguity for the love of the game, just stay mindful of it, lest you miss the chance to advance to the next step.
