Guys love to be treated like dirt
Ok I'm sure that's an over generalization.. but my point is that once you say "I have a hearing LOSS" guys go into "Rescue" mode and feel that they need to help you.
If a guy thinks HE is losing something, they only became MORE attracted and thus under your control.
If you sign, you should just treat him not like YOU have a hearing loss, but that HE has an ASL deficiency.
How would you treat someone foreign trying to flirt in another language? Just give the signals that "interest in me means learning to talk to me".
Don't put yourself in a pit to be pulled up from. Instead think of your communication as high wall to perch yourself on that you'll have people scrambling to climb. I'm sure he'd go out and buy sign books the same night.
Of course if you have not interest.. then that solves itself no?
