Your partner's facial expressions mean different things depending on context. A live audience poll showed people disagreed on whether the same look meant the same thing on Friday versus Saturday, proving that body language isn't a fixed code you can memorize.
If you've ever been in a long-term relationship, just yell yes I have. All right. If you haven't, don't feel shame or guilt. We're all on different timelines. There's no right or wrong here. For those of you who have, you know what I'm about to say is true. Friday night, your partner gives you a look, and what happens next is exactly what you hoped was going to happen, and it was awesome. Saturday night, your partner gives you the exact same look. Doesn't necessarily mean the exact. Same thing, yes or no? No, it doesn't. Notice how, first of all, about half of you are like, I'm not sure. This seems like a trap. And a bunch of you are like, no, it doesn't. And like one person was like, yes, it does. That's what just happened in the room, which proves to you already how unreliable this is. You all would've answered easily and quickly if you knew, hey, I'm good with this, or I got this figured out. But we hesitated because even the same person, same look, different situations means different things.
