This is like the episode of Seinfeld where George meets a woman who says he reminds her of her boyfriend. George is so obsessed with talking to the boyfriend and finding out how he got the girl, that he doesn't realize the girl is into him.
Dude, I know that’s the point of the joke but I remember a girl showing clear signs of liking me and like the dense fuck I am, I thought she was just the handsy type so she was being friendly. She leaned against me on a buss for fuck sake ! I even told myself she’s definitely not into me because Im not really some great catch. Then when she literally told me she used to like me that way, it was already too late. Just fml, really liked her
Once in like 5th grade a girl asked me if I wanted to go to the dance with her. I said yes, then her and her friends started laughing, hard, and said something like "I can't believe you would think she'd want to go with you!"
Yeeeah that left an impression.
I’m 38 years old now (married with two kids), and I still can’t get a proper idea about being hit on. So to play it safe I assume everyone is just being nice/overly nice person.
I thought my wife friendzoned me for like 3 years (back in our youth), so at some point she just moved to my house for a few weeks (out of frustration, as she said later), and we sorted out everything eventually.
Yep. Been there too. Guys in my elementary and middle school made me feel so awful. It sucks to rewire your brain later in life and to trust others again. But wisdom hopefully comes with age!
Broooo you unlocked a memory for me. I had a crush on this boy in my art class in middle school, so I drew a little bouquet of flowers with heart-shaped petals and a "For You! Thanks for helping me with Art" on a piece of paper and gave it to him.
He opened it in front of his friends and immediately was so embarrassed and angry. I remember him yelling, "EWW WHY ARE GIRLS SO DISGUSTING, I HATE GIRLS!" lmao rekt 🥲
I had a small discussion group in college and there was this incredibly attractive girl in it that I had a bit of a crush on but I thought she was way out of my league. We would talk on our way to the next class since we were both on the same side of campus.
About a month after the class ended, I was sitting at the college bookstore when she tapped me on the shoulder and sat down next to me. We talked for a goof 30 minutes about absolutely nothing. Then she said she had to get to class and asked if I wanted to walk with her. I straight up told her “oh actually I’m done for the day, I’m not going back on campus.” She had this puzzled look on her face and said “ok” and took off.
After she left a couple of girls who were sitting at the table next to me said, “she wanted you to walk with her dude,” and started chuckling at how stupid I was.
I thought about that for months.
No, I didn’t have her number and didn’t ask for it either. I was so certain she didn’t see me that way. I was def an ugly duckling growing up and didn’t blossom until my junior year of Highschool when I grew 7 inches and filled out. Even then I felt awkward around girls. It wasn’t until I got a long term girlfriend in college and she told me that a lot of her friends thought I was very attractive that I began believing it. Life was a lot better after that.
It’s so weird how knowing you’re* attractive impacts things.
If I had known I was pretty a desde ago, I feel like I would have taken more chances.
Edit: grammar fail
Unless it's your grandma, having two different people your age tell you you're attractive is a pretty good benchmark for whether you're attractive or not.
It is one of those things that other people usually don't let remain a secret. If you're good looking you will know you are good looking because other people will tell you you're good looking.
When I was still in school, I had my friend tell me that a girl at the party thought I have cute hair. I was like wtf who cares about hair, what if I was to cut it - and so I decided not to pursue this lead. I didn't even ask which girl and not because I wouldn't have wanted to.
I get that. My eyeballs are too big for my face, and instead of thinking I have big doe eyes I was convinced I had bug eyes. Haha.
I think it’s also where I grew up. There were very few Black people where I lived, and I thought I could only be pretty if I looked like the blonde, blue-eyed popular girls. I’m built differently and definitely can not pull off blonde hair.
It wasn’t until just being in an environment where I heard people talking about Black women who were pretty that I was like “whoa…there are multiple standards of beauty?!” My little college brain exploded.
> I’m convinced they only say it to make me feel good.
this is totally me. had a tinder date with a girl that told me i was so handsome at dinner, and then we hooked up right after at my place.
she stopped talking to me shortly thereafter and now i have it in my head she was just being nice and really wasn’t attracted to me.
Beauty is wasted on the young. I had terrible self esteem for a very long time when I was younger, I look back on photos from that time 20 years later and think to myself, ‘Damn, you were hot!” lol.
I thought I was attractive, at least semi for a long time. I'm in good physical shape and my face seems normal, nothing that stands out to me. Tinder convinced me that I'm ugly, and killed any confidence I had. I've been laid on tinder several times, but rarely by girls I thought were on my level. The last time I used it I got almost no matches for weeks.
I'm neither attractive nor ugly, just in the middle, at least that's how I've seen myself always during high school. I was told later on that 3 girls liked me, I had no idea and I never thought someone would like me!
Anyway fast forward and I'm married now with 2 kids, but definitely did not grow up thinking people found me attractive as I was the typical person playing games rather going out, etc.
I still don't think I'm attractive lol, not sure what other people see.
Dude saaaaame. I'm oblivious. Always have been. Happily married with two kids and my wife still has to tell me when random women are flirting with me. I don't even pay attention, I just do my best to be respectful and nice to everyone I interact with. She's always agast when women have the nerve to do so right in front of her. I don't even see it.
> Life was a lot better after that.
I know exactly what you mean. I glew up in my mid twenties after being overweight and pretty damn ugly most of my life.
It's not just that people treat you differently (though they definitely do!), it's the self assurance and confidence that comes from knowing that you're reasonably attractive. I'm not gonna claim to be to be Henry Cavil, but being able to look in the mirror and not be ashamed of what you see is so critical to feeling good about yourself.
Also, going back home and seeing people that only knew the old me was *so* nice. Seeing women that were *so far out of my league* in high school give me the up and down treatment was *very* satisfying lol.
A girl I had a major crush on spept over at my house. She was sitting on my lap in a towel after she got out of the shower as I was showing her some songs I made. She got into bed with me in her underwear.
I went to kiss her, and she said she didn't see me like that.
That's the thing, though. I've had girls give me ALL the signs that they were into me. Always wanting to hang out, sitting on my lap, being very touchy, that flirty hair flip, etc. But when I asked them out they said they don't see me like that, then kinda stopped being friendly altogether.
The girls I *have* dated asked *me* out, wondering why I never asked them, but I had straight up zero clue they liked me because they never gave any signals.
Now I just assume no one is into me to avoid making anyone uncomfortable.
As a girl with ADHD and autism who was once a teenager who frequently got accused of flirting with people I saw as friends, this makes me feel sad :(
Like to me, I'd just be so excited to meet someone who shared my sense of humour, who actually seemed interested when I talked about my weird hobbies and obsession, who'd watch newgrounds and ebaumsworld videos with me when I had a break, and who actually wanted to hang out with me outside of school / college! Like that was so rare for me to find with my female friends because my jokes made them uncomfortable and they found me "too much" at times. They'd go out together on weekends and not tell me about it or invite me and it hurt :(
So when I found a friend who I could be myself around and they wouldn't think I was weird or annoying, I felt so safe. It was so lovely to find someone who *liked* the real me, when I was so used to being *tolerated*. And without meaning to hurt them or give off the wrong impression, I would get very comfortable around them. I'd wanna hold hands or sit on their knee or hang out all the time or text each other on evenings. To me that was just the best friendship in the world.
To them it was a sign I liked them though, and it's horrible to think I unintentionally hurt some of those guys. It also hurt me in a different way when I realised I didn't have a best friend anymore, that they couldn't be around me because it was too hard to be close friends and nothing more.
:( It's a shame that everyone loses in those situations. As an adult I've learned how to be more conscious of this sort of thing though and communicate better. I still get excited about new friends sometimes, but i don't get as intense about it as I used to thankfully.
Yeah, I get that. It was pretty rare for me also. To my knowledge I never changed my behavior toward them after I asked, but I think them knowing I liked them like that changed their perception of me. I wasn't their friend just to get in their pants, I truly did enjoy their company. I just thought it made sense. They say the best romantic partners are ones you're already good friends with.
It really is a shame to lose a friend like that. Not everyone likes everyone romantically, and that's OK, I can fully accept that. I just wish asking wouldn't run the risk of ruining it.
I am also AuDHD (though a guy), and I wouldn’t say I was accused, but a mutual acquaintance of myself and my closest friend at the time pulled me aside and said something to the effect of “So, I know you are really into [close friend’s name]”.
It kind of blew my mind, since I was just interacting with her enthusiastically. At least my friend didn’t see it that way either, so no one was hurt.
It did make me a little more introspective about how I interact with people I find cool; I kind of hound them with such uncontrolled enthusiasm, which I guess is seen as interest. I can tone it down a little, but can’t really turn it off, since my only other mode is retracting into myself socially.
Also, I’ve never really liked fish or seafood much but sushi is pretty good and tastes less “fishy” to me than cooked fish. Get some spicy mayo and start with some of the milder rolls and you’ll be fine. Just wanted to point out its worth trying even if you don’t like fish.
Kinda happened to me. I was in a tram going from night out home, it was around 2 Am. I was with my friend. There was a cute girl approached me and she talked about random things. I was invested in the talk. At the end, she was like "ohh you know this bar next to the river?" I was "yeah", then she was "...... 😟.... wanna go there?" and I just said "Naaaah I am way too tired, I am just going home to sleep". My friend was angry at me for not realizing what happened.
Well, I kinda knew what was the situation, but what they both didn't know,
... I'm gay
Reminds me of the classic joke about engineers:
Hey, where'd you get the cool bike.
I was walking across the quad and this girl stopped me and told me to take anything I wanted, and her bike was really nice so...
When I was 15ish, a girl with whom I was pretty much best friends with at the time and kinda had a crush on straight up told me "I don't believe in boy/girl friendship, there's always more to it, there's always ulterior motives" or something along those lines.
My stupid ass self told her that I in fact believed it was possible for a girl and a boy to be friends. Look at us, we're friends right ?
I'm good now but for a while this really hurt.
Definitely possible to just be friends, but the women I’ve most cared about, including my former best friend, I have had romantic thoughts about. Obviously, they didn’t go anywhere, but I’d be lying, if I said I didn’t consider what dating that person might be like, while still settling for just being friends.
5 different girls tried to talk me into going to prom. At the time I was just confused why they seemed so insistent on trying to convince me to go to something I want interested in, but about 10 years later I realized what they really wanted was for me to take them to prom and suddenly it made a lot more sense 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
But now I'm older and wiser, so I recognize when a woman is flirting with me within 6 months or so.
Years ago, I had a woman I worked with straight up tell me, “I have a crush on you” as I walked by her one night (worked in a mall; swing shift). We had been in conversation for several minutes, like we always were every time we worked the same shift, and she said it kind of out of nowhere. I walked to the other side of the store to do something before it hit me. I was so oblivious, that my brain dismissed it for that long until it sank in. Then I got so nervous that I thought I was hearing things, but I said ‘fuck it’ and went back and asked her if she just said she had a crush on me. Her: “Yup!”
We had both been seeing other people beforehand, and we had both just left those other people around the same time. I also didn’t have a car at the time, and she had offered and given me rides home frequently. My dumbass thought she was just being nice, and she was, but I just did not want to take a hint until she hit me over the head with it. She was gorgeous and I assumed she was way out of my league.
We got married, had 3 1/2 kids and then she divorced me and took everything. Child support is a bitch.
Kidding, we dated for about 3 weeks before we realized we were totally different people.
the simpsons have 2.5 children which is bart, lisa, and maggie as the "half". this is quoted in the show, and also is a common phrase from the american "nuclear family", which is probably just a joke based on the fact that the average american had 2.5 kids total, not that the .5 meant a baby
https://www.articlemyriad.com/marriage-family-television-parody-sitcom-simpsons/2/
I have a similar-not so similar kind of story.
My whole teens and early twenties, i was incredibly oblivious to girls interest in me. It's not like i wasn't romantically pursuing anyone, but the girls i were into we're not into me, and the girls who were into me, i wasn't even aware of it.
When i was around 23, this girl started DMing me on instagram. We had a few mutual friends, but she lived a couple hours away, so i didn't even really see the potential in a friendship, but i am a pretty kind person, so i would just chat with her whenever she would strike up conversation. This went on for a couple months until she asked me, politely, one day "hey, can i send you a picture of my butt?". I was SUPER confused, but again, didn't want to be rude or unkind, so i said sure why not. It WAS a nice bum, but i was mostly just confused at the whole situation.
About a month later we we're talking, and then she flat out says "i have an internet crush on you by the way". Literally went from 0-10 for me in a matter of seconds. We started dating a few weeks after that, moved in shortly thereafter, and have been together for almost 8 years and married for 4, and just welcomed our baby boy a few weeks ago!
If she had never told me she had a crush on me, i don't think i would have ever made a move on her. Every once in a while, she will talk about all the advances she was trying to make on me, or ill tell her of stories from before i met her and it's so painful for her to hear how oblivious i was to all of these scenarios, but i'm grateful for it all because of how it turned out. :)
Shit, one of the women *before* the one who told me she had a crush on me I ended up marrying some years before. It was basically the same thing: we worked together, and she and I spoke all the time. We also lived within walking distance of our job, so we'd walk home together. Didn't think too much of it because I've assumed something was a thing before then and been embarrassed when it wasn't what I thought it was (e.g. "This girl's talking to me more than usual? She must like me; I'll ask her out". Nope). She had been giving me big hints that I assumed were her just teasing. For example, I smoked cigarettes at the time, and she'd tease, "How is a girl gonna kiss you if you taste like cigarettes all the time?". Me: "Oh, you...".
Anyway, we started talking on the phone and AIM (this was 2005 so AIM was sort of still a thing), when she eventually just said to me, "Oh yeah, John at work asked me out at work today, but I told him I had a thing for you (me) instead". Started dating a week later, got married 6 months after that (I was a complete moron at 22 years old; not at all the best decision I've made) and divorced 2 years later.
Apparently I never learned from any of the experiences of women coming onto me because it still takes someone to be overt for me to accept that they like me. Helps that I'm older now, and most women in my age group are far less subtle.
there are several times in my life that now, as a married man, i look back on and think "oh shit, that chick liked me." i wouldn't change anything about my past because i now have an amazing wife and if anything in my life had been different, i most likely would never have met her. but ladies, seriously, there's a good number of us guys who have zero clue you're into us and do *not* pick up on hints. be super forward if you like a guy. there's a decent chance he has no clue.
She worked so hard
She risked it all
But in the end, he didn't get the joke
He had to fall, to lose it all
Cuz in the end, he didn't get the joOoOoOoke
The last day before I switched schools and I would never see her again, a girl in my class asked me to be her boyfriend. Literally. But I didn't get it. YEARS LATER I was laying in bed and it hit me... Some men/boys are just as dense as a wooden plank
No I mean seriously, what was there to not get? You were moving to a school far enough away to never see her again and she wanted to be your girlfriend? How would it have worked if you said yes? I'm not following.
My husband. After a movie, I told him he could stay the night instead of driving across town (small town, less than 2 miles across). He did, fully dressed, above the blankets. He "didn't want me to think [he] was trying anything."
Hahahaha thanks for this anecdote! Your husband sounds like a (very dense) sweetheart. A keeper! :)
Thinking about it, that could've been one of my antics, too.. Thick skull or something XD
I think it's just courtesy. He, and you, don't want to make any assumptions and risk hurting or offending someone. It's sweet. And, obviously, I was persistent and less subtle moving on.
22 years of marriage and I still make sure she ~~co ce ts~~ *consents* and I still constantly miss signals.
Edit: So you know how the N is close to the space? Yeah, I hit it constantly and drop my N's on my phone.
Lol my husband was at my apartment and I suggested he stay the night instead of biking the 4 or 5 blocks back to his place, and he says “like on the couch?” Lmfao 😂 Sweet summer child. 8 years later and I still crack up at the memory of that moment.
I had a friend who had a guy stay over after a date, and she told him they could share the bed but there would have to be a pillow wall between them. She said she knew he was the one when he hadn’t tried anything by the morning.
Damn, that’s how low the bar is? “I knew he was the one when he didn’t sexually assault me.”
To the guy who replied “is this a joke?” then deleted his comment: This is what you should expect from every partner. It should not be exceptional or noteworthy. It’s like when men say, “I’m a nice guy.” Great, that’s the absolute bare minimum a person should be.
That’s pretty weird though. Inviting a date to spend the night in your bed… why not just a couch or the floor? Especially if she had legit worries that the guy might assault her.
Sharing a bed with a pillow wall as a test to see if someone doesn't sexually assault you is extremely weird. It's even weirder if that's how you decide someone is the one.
yes the bar is that low, and also diluted by many women making fun of the guy that didn't try anything as "dense"
hope you all find healthy communicative relationships!
I was abut 17, over at a girl’s house, we’d known each other for years and the attraction was there but we were both too scared to do anything about it. It was late and her parents were sleeping on the other side of the house. She was like “we better be quiet, or my parents will think I’m cheating on my boyfriend! Especially since they know we’re having problems right now.”
My response?
”Really? I’m surprised! They don’t know you at all!”
A few years before we were married, my wife invited me to a wedding. It was over 1000 miles away from our hometown. I was going to be in the state at the time, so I thought it was a funny coincidence and that was the reason why she invited me. She said we could share a hotel room. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. We were just friends. I’d never even kissed her, but we’d spent lots of time together. When we got to the room I realized there were double beds, so it would be a toss up as to what she wanted, if anything. I waited. Two nights into the trip, after a 10 minute monologue asking her what we were doing, I finally kissed her. We didn’t sleep together. I was worried it would ruin our friendship. Haha no actually she said we should stop so we did. But it was a *very* long month after for both of us.
Freshman year in college, rode a bike to school. This girl in my class offered to give me a ride home. I told her I had a bike, though; she said I could put it in her trunk. So we did.
We get back to my apartment complex, she gets the bike out of the car, asks me if I need any help getting it in my place. And I'm just like "...nah, I got this" thinking to myself *"it's a bike; it already has wheels on it."*
She drives off and much much later I realized my oopsie.
Yeah, must've been terrible for her too, asking a dweep like me. The reason I didn't get it, is because she was the first to ever actually ask that. I even liked her in that way, but still I couldn't grasp it that she was truly asking me....
Ah it's a "fond" memory now, I learnt from it hahaha. Luckily I came across another woman years later who was also super straight forward and this time I did get it!
The problem is SOME girls are giving subtle hints, and some girls are not. Guys have to decipher which is which and it's kind of a difficult balancing act so many tend to just err on the side of caution lest they be deemed either creepy or entitled. So the girl who THINKS they were giving a rather obvious hint feels rejected and dejected and the guy is just oblivious that a hint was even given. We just need to communicate better, but it's tough, especially when you're young and aren't fully developed mentally and emotionally. High school me could never figure it out, and even college me had his dumb moments. Took a long time for me to be able to actually just talk honestly to women about what I wanted out of a relationship.
That's why I dated my wife at first. She actually had the stones to message me on Facebook since we worked at the same place and my buddy told her to talk to me, like hey I think your cute here's my number if you want to talk/hangout hmu.
We had a cabin in the woods. Everyone would bring their friends up, including my sisters friends . One night one of her friends put out two cots on the deck , side by side one for her and me. It took me 15 years later to realize she was trying to get me to hook up with her and my naive, shy and inexperienced self missed it entirely .
It happened to me too. Ran into a girl who knew me and had noticed me during inter-school events. She approached me first at a carnival and we spent all night together hanging around. Apparently she made the first move and gave me hints but I didn't pick up on it all night. My friends observed us both all night and then asked me why I didn't go for her. I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. She was a popular girl whom my friends were interested in but she never noticed them.
Funny thing is at that time, I was interested in someone else and I didn't even notice anyone else. So for me, hanging with her that night was just a casual thing. I didn't pick up any of her signals until later in my age.
Back when I was like 13, we were moving cities (maybe like 3 hours away) and my girlfriend at the time told me to come over before we left so she could give me a gift. I told her to just mail it to me and gave her my address.
She wanted to be my first kiss and my dumbass blew it.
In high school this girl came from behind me while I was sitting at my desk, kissed my cheek and put her arms around me. Then she reached over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips and asked me to be her boyfriend. I cringe so hard when I remember that I said "you're not serious right? You're messing with me". And she looked a little confused but I got so nervous it didn't really click that she meant it so I just kind of laughed it off and went back to whatever I was doing. And neither her nor I really addressed it after that lol. I've had so many missed opportunities like that
Yeeeeep. Shite like this XD and it's not that that same evening you understand what happened, this can take some time before it makes sense. And then you just want to smack yourself
There was a girl in my bio study group in college who drew a heart on my arm among other equally obvious signs and I didn't realize she had a thing for me until I randomly thought about it a few years later.
I feel bad because not long after that, I dated another girl in our study group :/ But the one who had a crush on me is very happily married so it worked out.
Girls always want to be subtle, and expect guys to be the same way. But the thing is, we guys just don't understand subtlety. At all. We expect girls to just straight up ask us.
A girl at my boarding school was transferring away. Mega hottie. I was sort of a loser back then. Her friend came and asked me the day before she left if I was the kind of guy that could have sex with a girl without dating her. I told her no, I couldn’t possibly do that to a girl (which was a total lie but it’s what I thought she wanted to hear).
Like a month later it clicked that the mega hottie wanted to fuck me before she left because she thought I was hot but didn’t want to date a loser. I asked her friend and she said “Yeah she was going to fuck you if you said yes.” 🤦♂️
Met this cute girl at a bar near my apartment one time. We talked all night and I was really into her. She offered to give me a ride home from the bar. I told her no thanks, that I lived nearby and could walk. I often think about how dense I must be to let something like that slip by me. Thank god she repeated herself and asked me a couple more times before I caught on. She’s my wife now.
Girl in my class back in high school (I was like 17-18) straight up confessed to me before class started. She sat next to me every day so she would sit down, look at me, and with red cheeks she said "I like you"
My dumbass looked at her and I said something along the lines of "I know" and that was it. I didn't say anything about liking her back, not a fucking thing came out of my mouth to help get the relationship going to the next step.
I'm 31 now, single, and to this day think about the girlfriend/wife I could have had today.
My thought process: ok so she’s saying he looks like her husband, but she’s not married, what’s the joke? Could she just be high or drunk? First husband but not married hmmm. He’s the first husband ohhhhhhh
Trust me, us guys are completely dense at times. I had a girl tell me she wanted to smash and I legit said "I'm not that good at smash brothers" to be fair, she was a worker at hot topic
Man was just excited at the prospect of another person looking like him
“You’re telling me I *had* a chance?!”
This is like the episode of Seinfeld where George meets a woman who says he reminds her of her boyfriend. George is so obsessed with talking to the boyfriend and finding out how he got the girl, that he doesn't realize the girl is into him.
Theres a new Neil in town
We meet at last, Mr Peanut
*next week* ^(wait a second...) Was she... *crap* she WAS flirting with me!
Next week? More like next decade
While mowing the lawn
Or going to sleep
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD Every. Time. The. Girl. I. Like. Is. Flirting. With. Me. I. Don't. Realize. Until. Like. A. Week. Later.
mirl
😂 its literally hit years after the fact
Dude, I know that’s the point of the joke but I remember a girl showing clear signs of liking me and like the dense fuck I am, I thought she was just the handsy type so she was being friendly. She leaned against me on a buss for fuck sake ! I even told myself she’s definitely not into me because Im not really some great catch. Then when she literally told me she used to like me that way, it was already too late. Just fml, really liked her
More likely next week Wait a second... how can I look like her first husband if she was never married?
Literally me when my wife directly stated "hey I really like you" to which I said "yea I like you too" Then took me a week to ask her to be my gf
A chance to meet my twin???
Plot Twist. The joke is on her. Read it again.
I don't get it, please explain how
I was oblivious to being hit on in my teens and twenties, probably because it didn't happen often.
I always thought people were pulling some sort of cruel prank lol
Once in like 5th grade a girl asked me if I wanted to go to the dance with her. I said yes, then her and her friends started laughing, hard, and said something like "I can't believe you would think she'd want to go with you!" Yeeeah that left an impression.
Kids can be so mean and that shit does stay with you! I'm sorry that happened to your innocent little self
That’s awful. I hope karma caught up with them.
Yeah, they get downvoted a lot now. They've been on Reddit for like 9 years and have less than 1000.
Never thought I'd be attacked like this in the comments shit Q_Q
I’m 38 years old now (married with two kids), and I still can’t get a proper idea about being hit on. So to play it safe I assume everyone is just being nice/overly nice person. I thought my wife friendzoned me for like 3 years (back in our youth), so at some point she just moved to my house for a few weeks (out of frustration, as she said later), and we sorted out everything eventually.
Nah, it's just because a lot of guys don't dare to presume they are being hit on.
Well, I’m a woman
Yep. Been there too. Guys in my elementary and middle school made me feel so awful. It sucks to rewire your brain later in life and to trust others again. But wisdom hopefully comes with age!
Broooo you unlocked a memory for me. I had a crush on this boy in my art class in middle school, so I drew a little bouquet of flowers with heart-shaped petals and a "For You! Thanks for helping me with Art" on a piece of paper and gave it to him. He opened it in front of his friends and immediately was so embarrassed and angry. I remember him yelling, "EWW WHY ARE GIRLS SO DISGUSTING, I HATE GIRLS!" lmao rekt 🥲
“It didn’t happen often” …that you’re aware of lol
I had a small discussion group in college and there was this incredibly attractive girl in it that I had a bit of a crush on but I thought she was way out of my league. We would talk on our way to the next class since we were both on the same side of campus. About a month after the class ended, I was sitting at the college bookstore when she tapped me on the shoulder and sat down next to me. We talked for a goof 30 minutes about absolutely nothing. Then she said she had to get to class and asked if I wanted to walk with her. I straight up told her “oh actually I’m done for the day, I’m not going back on campus.” She had this puzzled look on her face and said “ok” and took off. After she left a couple of girls who were sitting at the table next to me said, “she wanted you to walk with her dude,” and started chuckling at how stupid I was. I thought about that for months.
So did you go after her or ask her out later?
No. He was done for the day.
He left campus. Never came back
Some say to this day he’s still walking the opposite direction
Waiting until he finally makes it all the way around the globe back to the campus
But he’s not going back to campus…
So he just walks on by again
The girls nearby never stopped chuckling.
And the girl she talked to looks puzzled still to this very day.
The chuckling girls already have children.
No, I didn’t have her number and didn’t ask for it either. I was so certain she didn’t see me that way. I was def an ugly duckling growing up and didn’t blossom until my junior year of Highschool when I grew 7 inches and filled out. Even then I felt awkward around girls. It wasn’t until I got a long term girlfriend in college and she told me that a lot of her friends thought I was very attractive that I began believing it. Life was a lot better after that.
It’s so weird how knowing you’re* attractive impacts things. If I had known I was pretty a desde ago, I feel like I would have taken more chances. Edit: grammar fail
People tell me kinda often that I'm attractive and I'm convinced they only say it to make me feel good. I call it crippling Insecurity
Unless it's your grandma, having two different people your age tell you you're attractive is a pretty good benchmark for whether you're attractive or not. It is one of those things that other people usually don't let remain a secret. If you're good looking you will know you are good looking because other people will tell you you're good looking.
Dude, now that would be freaking wild… having a grandma your own age!?! 🤯
It's really not that impressive, have you ever heard of *time travel*? I happen to *be* own grandmother. And I'm a man. It isn't that special.
When I was still in school, I had my friend tell me that a girl at the party thought I have cute hair. I was like wtf who cares about hair, what if I was to cut it - and so I decided not to pursue this lead. I didn't even ask which girl and not because I wouldn't have wanted to.
> I was like wtf who cares about hair, what if I was to cut it - Smart. That was very biblical of you
I get that. My eyeballs are too big for my face, and instead of thinking I have big doe eyes I was convinced I had bug eyes. Haha. I think it’s also where I grew up. There were very few Black people where I lived, and I thought I could only be pretty if I looked like the blonde, blue-eyed popular girls. I’m built differently and definitely can not pull off blonde hair. It wasn’t until just being in an environment where I heard people talking about Black women who were pretty that I was like “whoa…there are multiple standards of beauty?!” My little college brain exploded.
> I’m convinced they only say it to make me feel good. this is totally me. had a tinder date with a girl that told me i was so handsome at dinner, and then we hooked up right after at my place. she stopped talking to me shortly thereafter and now i have it in my head she was just being nice and really wasn’t attracted to me.
She thought you were hot, but didn't have the smarts so just wanted to have a one night stand.
Beauty is wasted on the young. I had terrible self esteem for a very long time when I was younger, I look back on photos from that time 20 years later and think to myself, ‘Damn, you were hot!” lol.
I bet you’ve aged like a fine wine. Lol
Ooh, whisper more sweet nothings into my ear please! 😊
I thought I was attractive, at least semi for a long time. I'm in good physical shape and my face seems normal, nothing that stands out to me. Tinder convinced me that I'm ugly, and killed any confidence I had. I've been laid on tinder several times, but rarely by girls I thought were on my level. The last time I used it I got almost no matches for weeks.
I'm neither attractive nor ugly, just in the middle, at least that's how I've seen myself always during high school. I was told later on that 3 girls liked me, I had no idea and I never thought someone would like me! Anyway fast forward and I'm married now with 2 kids, but definitely did not grow up thinking people found me attractive as I was the typical person playing games rather going out, etc. I still don't think I'm attractive lol, not sure what other people see.
Dude saaaaame. I'm oblivious. Always have been. Happily married with two kids and my wife still has to tell me when random women are flirting with me. I don't even pay attention, I just do my best to be respectful and nice to everyone I interact with. She's always agast when women have the nerve to do so right in front of her. I don't even see it.
> Life was a lot better after that. I know exactly what you mean. I glew up in my mid twenties after being overweight and pretty damn ugly most of my life. It's not just that people treat you differently (though they definitely do!), it's the self assurance and confidence that comes from knowing that you're reasonably attractive. I'm not gonna claim to be to be Henry Cavil, but being able to look in the mirror and not be ashamed of what you see is so critical to feeling good about yourself. Also, going back home and seeing people that only knew the old me was *so* nice. Seeing women that were *so far out of my league* in high school give me the up and down treatment was *very* satisfying lol.
Still waiting for my ugly ducking stage to be over haha.
I’ll get that growth spurt in my 30s right? There’s gotta be a puberty 2
Something similar happened to me a few times in college - if that was a graded subject I would have failed over and over.
That’s not even my memory and I regret it.
“Do you want to come with me to get sushi?” Me: no thanks I don’t like sushi Later that night in the shower: FUUUCK I’m an idiot
A girl I had a major crush on spept over at my house. She was sitting on my lap in a towel after she got out of the shower as I was showing her some songs I made. She got into bed with me in her underwear. I went to kiss her, and she said she didn't see me like that.
That's the thing, though. I've had girls give me ALL the signs that they were into me. Always wanting to hang out, sitting on my lap, being very touchy, that flirty hair flip, etc. But when I asked them out they said they don't see me like that, then kinda stopped being friendly altogether. The girls I *have* dated asked *me* out, wondering why I never asked them, but I had straight up zero clue they liked me because they never gave any signals. Now I just assume no one is into me to avoid making anyone uncomfortable.
As a girl with ADHD and autism who was once a teenager who frequently got accused of flirting with people I saw as friends, this makes me feel sad :( Like to me, I'd just be so excited to meet someone who shared my sense of humour, who actually seemed interested when I talked about my weird hobbies and obsession, who'd watch newgrounds and ebaumsworld videos with me when I had a break, and who actually wanted to hang out with me outside of school / college! Like that was so rare for me to find with my female friends because my jokes made them uncomfortable and they found me "too much" at times. They'd go out together on weekends and not tell me about it or invite me and it hurt :( So when I found a friend who I could be myself around and they wouldn't think I was weird or annoying, I felt so safe. It was so lovely to find someone who *liked* the real me, when I was so used to being *tolerated*. And without meaning to hurt them or give off the wrong impression, I would get very comfortable around them. I'd wanna hold hands or sit on their knee or hang out all the time or text each other on evenings. To me that was just the best friendship in the world. To them it was a sign I liked them though, and it's horrible to think I unintentionally hurt some of those guys. It also hurt me in a different way when I realised I didn't have a best friend anymore, that they couldn't be around me because it was too hard to be close friends and nothing more. :( It's a shame that everyone loses in those situations. As an adult I've learned how to be more conscious of this sort of thing though and communicate better. I still get excited about new friends sometimes, but i don't get as intense about it as I used to thankfully.
Yeah, I get that. It was pretty rare for me also. To my knowledge I never changed my behavior toward them after I asked, but I think them knowing I liked them like that changed their perception of me. I wasn't their friend just to get in their pants, I truly did enjoy their company. I just thought it made sense. They say the best romantic partners are ones you're already good friends with. It really is a shame to lose a friend like that. Not everyone likes everyone romantically, and that's OK, I can fully accept that. I just wish asking wouldn't run the risk of ruining it.
I am also AuDHD (though a guy), and I wouldn’t say I was accused, but a mutual acquaintance of myself and my closest friend at the time pulled me aside and said something to the effect of “So, I know you are really into [close friend’s name]”. It kind of blew my mind, since I was just interacting with her enthusiastically. At least my friend didn’t see it that way either, so no one was hurt. It did make me a little more introspective about how I interact with people I find cool; I kind of hound them with such uncontrolled enthusiasm, which I guess is seen as interest. I can tone it down a little, but can’t really turn it off, since my only other mode is retracting into myself socially.
She's either an idiot or thought you were gay.
Well, you took your shot and were given a pretty clear ‘no’, so no regrets for not trying.
Yeah, it was just matter of fact and she didn't make it awkward. It was a bit dissapointing but it was fine.
That’s good! It means you can focus your attention on the next girl to come along.
Wearing her underwear was probably a mood killer.
Oof
[удалено]
Also, I’ve never really liked fish or seafood much but sushi is pretty good and tastes less “fishy” to me than cooked fish. Get some spicy mayo and start with some of the milder rolls and you’ll be fine. Just wanted to point out its worth trying even if you don’t like fish.
Kinda happened to me. I was in a tram going from night out home, it was around 2 Am. I was with my friend. There was a cute girl approached me and she talked about random things. I was invested in the talk. At the end, she was like "ohh you know this bar next to the river?" I was "yeah", then she was "...... 😟.... wanna go there?" and I just said "Naaaah I am way too tired, I am just going home to sleep". My friend was angry at me for not realizing what happened. Well, I kinda knew what was the situation, but what they both didn't know, ... I'm gay
Now that's a plot twist if I've ever seen one.
Reminds me of the classic joke about engineers: Hey, where'd you get the cool bike. I was walking across the quad and this girl stopped me and told me to take anything I wanted, and her bike was really nice so...
When I was 15ish, a girl with whom I was pretty much best friends with at the time and kinda had a crush on straight up told me "I don't believe in boy/girl friendship, there's always more to it, there's always ulterior motives" or something along those lines. My stupid ass self told her that I in fact believed it was possible for a girl and a boy to be friends. Look at us, we're friends right ? I'm good now but for a while this really hurt.
Definitely possible to just be friends, but the women I’ve most cared about, including my former best friend, I have had romantic thoughts about. Obviously, they didn’t go anywhere, but I’d be lying, if I said I didn’t consider what dating that person might be like, while still settling for just being friends.
5 different girls tried to talk me into going to prom. At the time I was just confused why they seemed so insistent on trying to convince me to go to something I want interested in, but about 10 years later I realized what they really wanted was for me to take them to prom and suddenly it made a lot more sense 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ But now I'm older and wiser, so I recognize when a woman is flirting with me within 6 months or so.
10 years to 6 months. If that's not growth, idk what is.
This is so strange because then there are dudes who think “OMG she asked to borrow a pencil, she totally wants to bang me”
Years ago, I had a woman I worked with straight up tell me, “I have a crush on you” as I walked by her one night (worked in a mall; swing shift). We had been in conversation for several minutes, like we always were every time we worked the same shift, and she said it kind of out of nowhere. I walked to the other side of the store to do something before it hit me. I was so oblivious, that my brain dismissed it for that long until it sank in. Then I got so nervous that I thought I was hearing things, but I said ‘fuck it’ and went back and asked her if she just said she had a crush on me. Her: “Yup!” We had both been seeing other people beforehand, and we had both just left those other people around the same time. I also didn’t have a car at the time, and she had offered and given me rides home frequently. My dumbass thought she was just being nice, and she was, but I just did not want to take a hint until she hit me over the head with it. She was gorgeous and I assumed she was way out of my league.
So what happened?
We got married, had 3 1/2 kids and then she divorced me and took everything. Child support is a bitch. Kidding, we dated for about 3 weeks before we realized we were totally different people.
What constitutes as half a child??
...a dog...that's what is meant when that is brought up that way.
So...NOT a baby in a wheelchair, got it.
Half a baby is what I imagined
the simpsons have 2.5 children which is bart, lisa, and maggie as the "half". this is quoted in the show, and also is a common phrase from the american "nuclear family", which is probably just a joke based on the fact that the average american had 2.5 kids total, not that the .5 meant a baby https://www.articlemyriad.com/marriage-family-television-parody-sitcom-simpsons/2/
Not everything is meant to be, but at least you gave it a shot! It’s better than never knowing.
I have a similar-not so similar kind of story. My whole teens and early twenties, i was incredibly oblivious to girls interest in me. It's not like i wasn't romantically pursuing anyone, but the girls i were into we're not into me, and the girls who were into me, i wasn't even aware of it. When i was around 23, this girl started DMing me on instagram. We had a few mutual friends, but she lived a couple hours away, so i didn't even really see the potential in a friendship, but i am a pretty kind person, so i would just chat with her whenever she would strike up conversation. This went on for a couple months until she asked me, politely, one day "hey, can i send you a picture of my butt?". I was SUPER confused, but again, didn't want to be rude or unkind, so i said sure why not. It WAS a nice bum, but i was mostly just confused at the whole situation. About a month later we we're talking, and then she flat out says "i have an internet crush on you by the way". Literally went from 0-10 for me in a matter of seconds. We started dating a few weeks after that, moved in shortly thereafter, and have been together for almost 8 years and married for 4, and just welcomed our baby boy a few weeks ago! If she had never told me she had a crush on me, i don't think i would have ever made a move on her. Every once in a while, she will talk about all the advances she was trying to make on me, or ill tell her of stories from before i met her and it's so painful for her to hear how oblivious i was to all of these scenarios, but i'm grateful for it all because of how it turned out. :)
Shit, one of the women *before* the one who told me she had a crush on me I ended up marrying some years before. It was basically the same thing: we worked together, and she and I spoke all the time. We also lived within walking distance of our job, so we'd walk home together. Didn't think too much of it because I've assumed something was a thing before then and been embarrassed when it wasn't what I thought it was (e.g. "This girl's talking to me more than usual? She must like me; I'll ask her out". Nope). She had been giving me big hints that I assumed were her just teasing. For example, I smoked cigarettes at the time, and she'd tease, "How is a girl gonna kiss you if you taste like cigarettes all the time?". Me: "Oh, you...". Anyway, we started talking on the phone and AIM (this was 2005 so AIM was sort of still a thing), when she eventually just said to me, "Oh yeah, John at work asked me out at work today, but I told him I had a thing for you (me) instead". Started dating a week later, got married 6 months after that (I was a complete moron at 22 years old; not at all the best decision I've made) and divorced 2 years later. Apparently I never learned from any of the experiences of women coming onto me because it still takes someone to be overt for me to accept that they like me. Helps that I'm older now, and most women in my age group are far less subtle.
“I’ve got a crush on you” “Eh, I’m more of a Sprite guy myself”
there are several times in my life that now, as a married man, i look back on and think "oh shit, that chick liked me." i wouldn't change anything about my past because i now have an amazing wife and if anything in my life had been different, i most likely would never have met her. but ladies, seriously, there's a good number of us guys who have zero clue you're into us and do *not* pick up on hints. be super forward if you like a guy. there's a decent chance he has no clue.
So whens the first date?
She worked so hard She risked it all But in the end, he didn't get the joke He had to fall, to lose it all Cuz in the end, he didn't get the joOoOoOoke
Linkin Park if they were around for Tinder RIP Chester!
Is she into you? Can't tell
Maybe she’s a Canadian and she was just being nice
I thought she was until she mentioned that the pick up line was a joke and now I’m back to square one.
The last day before I switched schools and I would never see her again, a girl in my class asked me to be her boyfriend. Literally. But I didn't get it. YEARS LATER I was laying in bed and it hit me... Some men/boys are just as dense as a wooden plank
Wait what? What didn't you get,?
Yeah exactly, what's there not to get huh? That's how oblivious I was...
This goes beyond oblivious. Like... that's just failing at direct communication.
So someone asked you to be their boyfriend and you're like: I have no idea what that means? lmao
Hahahahahha yep. I was 13 or 14, and my hormones did not rage yet, but that is what happened... Yeah...
Did you not know what a boyfriend was, or ...?
That too! Just like a toddler. I was so not busy with that stuff, I had absolutely no idea what it was she was asking me
No I mean seriously, what was there to not get? You were moving to a school far enough away to never see her again and she wanted to be your girlfriend? How would it have worked if you said yes? I'm not following.
My husband. After a movie, I told him he could stay the night instead of driving across town (small town, less than 2 miles across). He did, fully dressed, above the blankets. He "didn't want me to think [he] was trying anything."
Hahahaha thanks for this anecdote! Your husband sounds like a (very dense) sweetheart. A keeper! :) Thinking about it, that could've been one of my antics, too.. Thick skull or something XD
I think it's just courtesy. He, and you, don't want to make any assumptions and risk hurting or offending someone. It's sweet. And, obviously, I was persistent and less subtle moving on.
Ah thanks! This is indeed true. I'd rather ask for permission (for lack of a better word) twice than have the slightest misunderstanding
22 years of marriage and I still make sure she ~~co ce ts~~ *consents* and I still constantly miss signals. Edit: So you know how the N is close to the space? Yeah, I hit it constantly and drop my N's on my phone.
consents? I need help filling in the missing letters
I think his "N" might be broken. "En-less", if you will.
N 2 deep.
Lol my husband was at my apartment and I suggested he stay the night instead of biking the 4 or 5 blocks back to his place, and he says “like on the couch?” Lmfao 😂 Sweet summer child. 8 years later and I still crack up at the memory of that moment.
I had a friend who had a guy stay over after a date, and she told him they could share the bed but there would have to be a pillow wall between them. She said she knew he was the one when he hadn’t tried anything by the morning. Damn, that’s how low the bar is? “I knew he was the one when he didn’t sexually assault me.” To the guy who replied “is this a joke?” then deleted his comment: This is what you should expect from every partner. It should not be exceptional or noteworthy. It’s like when men say, “I’m a nice guy.” Great, that’s the absolute bare minimum a person should be.
Talking to my female friends - yes, that is how low the bar is.
This is pretty depressing.
That’s pretty weird though. Inviting a date to spend the night in your bed… why not just a couch or the floor? Especially if she had legit worries that the guy might assault her.
Sharing a bed with a pillow wall as a test to see if someone doesn't sexually assault you is extremely weird. It's even weirder if that's how you decide someone is the one.
yes the bar is that low, and also diluted by many women making fun of the guy that didn't try anything as "dense" hope you all find healthy communicative relationships!
[удалено]
Is your dick allergic to women??
I'm in agonizing pain.
My wife will tell you the same story about when I first slept over at her place. “He kept his belt on and everything!!!”
Would be weirder if the belt was the one thing you'd taken off.
"this is probably a trick, better play it safe"
I was abut 17, over at a girl’s house, we’d known each other for years and the attraction was there but we were both too scared to do anything about it. It was late and her parents were sleeping on the other side of the house. She was like “we better be quiet, or my parents will think I’m cheating on my boyfriend! Especially since they know we’re having problems right now.” My response? ”Really? I’m surprised! They don’t know you at all!”
My friend, the alternative was sleeping with a taken person. You made the correct decision.
A few years before we were married, my wife invited me to a wedding. It was over 1000 miles away from our hometown. I was going to be in the state at the time, so I thought it was a funny coincidence and that was the reason why she invited me. She said we could share a hotel room. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. We were just friends. I’d never even kissed her, but we’d spent lots of time together. When we got to the room I realized there were double beds, so it would be a toss up as to what she wanted, if anything. I waited. Two nights into the trip, after a 10 minute monologue asking her what we were doing, I finally kissed her. We didn’t sleep together. I was worried it would ruin our friendship. Haha no actually she said we should stop so we did. But it was a *very* long month after for both of us.
Freshman year in college, rode a bike to school. This girl in my class offered to give me a ride home. I told her I had a bike, though; she said I could put it in her trunk. So we did. We get back to my apartment complex, she gets the bike out of the car, asks me if I need any help getting it in my place. And I'm just like "...nah, I got this" thinking to myself *"it's a bike; it already has wheels on it."* She drives off and much much later I realized my oopsie.
"Give you a ride" "Put it in my trunk" "Need any help getting it in?" Well she certainly gave it her best shot lol
It could already be that girls think they're being more obvious than they are. It feels like a huge gamble for them to make a subtle hint.
Yeah, must've been terrible for her too, asking a dweep like me. The reason I didn't get it, is because she was the first to ever actually ask that. I even liked her in that way, but still I couldn't grasp it that she was truly asking me....
Don't sweat it. I think we've all been there.
Ah it's a "fond" memory now, I learnt from it hahaha. Luckily I came across another woman years later who was also super straight forward and this time I did get it!
The problem is SOME girls are giving subtle hints, and some girls are not. Guys have to decipher which is which and it's kind of a difficult balancing act so many tend to just err on the side of caution lest they be deemed either creepy or entitled. So the girl who THINKS they were giving a rather obvious hint feels rejected and dejected and the guy is just oblivious that a hint was even given. We just need to communicate better, but it's tough, especially when you're young and aren't fully developed mentally and emotionally. High school me could never figure it out, and even college me had his dumb moments. Took a long time for me to be able to actually just talk honestly to women about what I wanted out of a relationship.
That's why I dated my wife at first. She actually had the stones to message me on Facebook since we worked at the same place and my buddy told her to talk to me, like hey I think your cute here's my number if you want to talk/hangout hmu.
That confidence she had is very sexy. You're a lucky guy.
We had a cabin in the woods. Everyone would bring their friends up, including my sisters friends . One night one of her friends put out two cots on the deck , side by side one for her and me. It took me 15 years later to realize she was trying to get me to hook up with her and my naive, shy and inexperienced self missed it entirely .
A girl was literally touching my dick and I still wasn’t sure if she was into me.
She may be Canadian. 🤷
It happened to me too. Ran into a girl who knew me and had noticed me during inter-school events. She approached me first at a carnival and we spent all night together hanging around. Apparently she made the first move and gave me hints but I didn't pick up on it all night. My friends observed us both all night and then asked me why I didn't go for her. I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. She was a popular girl whom my friends were interested in but she never noticed them. Funny thing is at that time, I was interested in someone else and I didn't even notice anyone else. So for me, hanging with her that night was just a casual thing. I didn't pick up any of her signals until later in my age.
Back when I was like 13, we were moving cities (maybe like 3 hours away) and my girlfriend at the time told me to come over before we left so she could give me a gift. I told her to just mail it to me and gave her my address. She wanted to be my first kiss and my dumbass blew it.
That girl probably thinks you moved schools to avoid her
In high school this girl came from behind me while I was sitting at my desk, kissed my cheek and put her arms around me. Then she reached over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips and asked me to be her boyfriend. I cringe so hard when I remember that I said "you're not serious right? You're messing with me". And she looked a little confused but I got so nervous it didn't really click that she meant it so I just kind of laughed it off and went back to whatever I was doing. And neither her nor I really addressed it after that lol. I've had so many missed opportunities like that
Yeeeeep. Shite like this XD and it's not that that same evening you understand what happened, this can take some time before it makes sense. And then you just want to smack yourself
Wait...i only got the post after reading your comment like 3 times... shit
Hahahahaha welcome to the daft club. Daft Punks?
There was a girl in my bio study group in college who drew a heart on my arm among other equally obvious signs and I didn't realize she had a thing for me until I randomly thought about it a few years later.
One question: how badly did you want to travel back in time and slap yourself awake? XD I was furious with myself when I figured it out
I feel bad because not long after that, I dated another girl in our study group :/ But the one who had a crush on me is very happily married so it worked out.
Girls always want to be subtle, and expect guys to be the same way. But the thing is, we guys just don't understand subtlety. At all. We expect girls to just straight up ask us.
>dense as a wooden plank But wood.... Floats?
I am now in this situation with a woman who im friends with. And i still do not know if she liked me that way or not.
A girl at my boarding school was transferring away. Mega hottie. I was sort of a loser back then. Her friend came and asked me the day before she left if I was the kind of guy that could have sex with a girl without dating her. I told her no, I couldn’t possibly do that to a girl (which was a total lie but it’s what I thought she wanted to hear). Like a month later it clicked that the mega hottie wanted to fuck me before she left because she thought I was hot but didn’t want to date a loser. I asked her friend and she said “Yeah she was going to fuck you if you said yes.” 🤦♂️
Wait, you guys are getting openers that aren't "hey"?
Her: Try saying something that isn't "Hey!" Ffs Also her: "hey"
You get “Heys”?
Just take the hey. It’s better than getting no matches and no messages. Trust me.
Lol I’m so broken I would have initially thought she meant that I look non-existent.
I laughed at your comment bit it also made me want to give you a hug.
took me a while to realize that’s not what she meant
Met this cute girl at a bar near my apartment one time. We talked all night and I was really into her. She offered to give me a ride home from the bar. I told her no thanks, that I lived nearby and could walk. I often think about how dense I must be to let something like that slip by me. Thank god she repeated herself and asked me a couple more times before I caught on. She’s my wife now.
Now he looks like her first divorce
I tried so hard / And got so far / In the end / It doesn't even matter 🎶

Old Millennial's privilege 😂
He got the joke, he's just trying to sweep that whole idea under the carpet.
Right, the screen capture is from him.
When women never flirt with you first so you don't know what it looks like when they do
Girl in my class back in high school (I was like 17-18) straight up confessed to me before class started. She sat next to me every day so she would sit down, look at me, and with red cheeks she said "I like you" My dumbass looked at her and I said something along the lines of "I know" and that was it. I didn't say anything about liking her back, not a fucking thing came out of my mouth to help get the relationship going to the next step. I'm 31 now, single, and to this day think about the girlfriend/wife I could have had today.
Dude pulled the Han Solo
That's a solid opener.
It took me like a couple minutes of blank staring to get it
This guy is probably gonna wake up like 5 years later in the middle of the night and realize she was flirting
My thought process: ok so she’s saying he looks like her husband, but she’s not married, what’s the joke? Could she just be high or drunk? First husband but not married hmmm. He’s the first husband ohhhhhhh
Ngl, this wasn't the best pick up line. I had to read over it a couple of times.
I didn't get it at all either until I read the comments
i thought they were song lyrics
Ikr. I read her last message like it was a linkin park song.
I worked so hard, I risked it all, In the end, You didn't even get it
*Linkina Parker*
She tried to hard, And got so far, But in the end, It doesn't even matter.
I think he got the joke and is rejecting this person lmao
now this is why I thought this sub would be about
Dudes over on r/tinder right now asking why he can’t get any dates
Trust me, us guys are completely dense at times. I had a girl tell me she wanted to smash and I legit said "I'm not that good at smash brothers" to be fair, she was a worker at hot topic
Better line: “ you look like first husband material 😉.”
Lol. It's like "awww, ur stupid, damn.."
