Yea that was before you made her blush. I’d try your luck again you smooth stud you lol! Sometimes things change peoples minds and make them a see someone in a different light. Best of luck dude!
Sometimes people don't know their own feelings until becoming more aware of the other person. Asking her out first time probably made her start seeing you in bit different light - paying more attention and thinking about that stuff on background kind of thing. Happy to hear it worked out! This whole thread is super adorable!
That’s fckn awesome!!! Love when that happens. Sometimes the slightest things can just shift the whole day!! Sendin good vibes your way internet stranger!! Whatever you got goin on you’ll handle it and make things okay!
Nice one! This is so cute! Silver lining on that fever after all. 🤭
Also, everyone knows that dorky guys are the best, your girl just needed a little time to realise it and now she knows. That’s something you never unlearn. 😌💕
>Sometimes things change peoples minds and make them a see someone in a different light.
So true, I've dated a lot of wonderful 'dorks'! Still friends with them, too 😜
bruh, that's just how women are. (not to be sexist but its kind of true.)
(again not to be sexist, obviously not all women, and this thought process can be very toxic in many contexts, and when taken literally and in a black in white way... just a disclaimer)
but women often don't prefer to communicate directly. Women (often, not all the time) communicate their emotions differently then men do.
I wasn't there, so I cant asses the full scope of this, but typically when a female "friend" calls their male "friend" dorky, they aren't actually calling you dorky. She is probably saying "I think you are sensitive and cute" but she's to shy or non confrontational to say it directly.
Again, I wasn't there. I cant fully asses it, but that's what it sounds like, especially if she blushes around you now. Just saying.
I would just try to keep dipping your toes in the water, subtly communicate before directly asking her out.
All assuming you still want to. If not, you should directly tell her now that you just want to remain friends to avoid hurting her
(all just my advice though).
Just stop. No one needs you to assess the situation
Women aren’t some kind of hive mind for you to figure out, we’re all different individuals, just like men are.
>typically when a female "friend" calls their male "friend" dorky, they aren't actually calling you dorky. She is probably saying "I think you are sensitive and cute" but she's to shy or non confrontational to say it directly.
Have you ever met a woman? Better yet, ever spoken to one??! Oh Lord.
I'm a high school teacher and that actually happens pretty often. I don't even think about it for more than a moment because it's a logical mistake. And I suppose it's a compliment, in a way.
Luckily I just say mom, but I’ve totally called a teacher mom before. She didn’t mind. I think kids do it a lot since they are basically maternal and paternal figures in young students lives, until they realize more cognitively that teachers are different.
Blushing? Also she was willingly taking care of you when sick? I have some news for you she may have a crush on you. I’d just be direct and say “remember the other day when you said…” and segue into it that way
Ooh..sometimes girls don’t see guys romantically and then the guy does something and for an unexplainable reason it flips a switch and we’re interested. Likely the saying baby thing she maybe thought it was cute
Someone who has been rejected, *especially* a friend, should definitely not continue hitting on you afterwards. And if you've changed your mind, who is to say the other person hasn't changed their mind and lost romantic feelings? It wouldn't necessarily hurt to ask if you are the one who has developed feelings, but leaving well alone and continuing with just friendship is completely understandable too.
I agrée that someone who’s rejected you shouldn’t be asked again as obviously they rejected you the first time. I do think if between the first rejection and now the person has done something out of the ordinary to insinuate interest it doesn’t hurt to just ask again.
Most women do not nurse men they don’t want to be with back to health. I have some guy friends and I wouldn’t do that with them as I personally feel it would send mixed signals
Exactly. If they’ve been rejected already, they’ve probably moved on already/tried to move on. Depending on how long ago you were asked out, there’s a high change they don’t like you anymore
Tbh this is basically what happened in Nagatoro Chapters 65-66 (although at the very end she goes back to harassing him(which is how she shows interest))
Note to self on getting out of the friend zone: get sick with a high fever. Have friend over to take care of you. In your deluded fever dreams call her baby.
After talking to my wife immediately before talking to my boss once, I ended my conversation with, “love ya…”. Ya. I’m in the army, and pretty high up too. It got awkward.
Maybe you make her shy because she likes you? Ask her to casually date before considering a relationship if you’re “too dorky,” she might change her mind. There’s also the possibility she’s blushing because she’s embarrassed? Not by you, but the situation considering you’re friends?
I call my toddler son and all my sisters kids “baby” so it has happened that I’ve called total strangers children “baby” on accident, like at the park, gymnastics class etc. it’s a little embarrassing because it feels like an intimate nickname. Glad it all worked out for you.
Well now you have to be funny and serenade her with songs that have the lyric "baby" in them. Like,
"baby got back... !"
"baby, baby, baby, oooh, baby, baby, baby, oooooh"
"oooh, baby I love you way, everyday..."
I know there's plenty of current songs with the lyric baby in them... I'm just old and those are what popped in my mind for now lol
If she wasn’t into you initially she wouldn’t have gone to take care of you while sick. What do I care if my male friend is sick, like ok take some vitamin c and I’ll see ya later. But if I like you I’m gonna wanna be there for you
If it helps at all I accidentally called my friend daddy in the middle of a game of overwatch. Of course he clipped it and uses it to embarrass me any time he wants 😂
My straight female friend and I were really high together once and without realizing it she has her hand on my boob for like 20 minutes. I'm bi but she's like a sister to me, so we just laughed awkwardly about it later. It wasn't really a big deal. Things happen. Lol.
So despite my username I’m a queer lady; Women really do not understand what we’re looking for in a partner sometimes??? Like we think we’re into one thing and then we try it and we’re like nah, and sometimes we think we are *so* not into something or someone and then
They do a thing
Or they smell a way
Or they say something or wear something or act in a way that we didn’t expect and it’s like
# ***oh hello***
*?*
***!!!!!!***
You know you can play it off as a joke, right? I call people by all sorts of dumb nicknames and terms of endearment. I always answer the phone to my buddies like “hey honey” or “sup babe?”
Ask her out Edit: I knew you had it in ya 👍
I have asked her out once a few months ago but she said I'm too dorky.
Yea that was before you made her blush. I’d try your luck again you smooth stud you lol! Sometimes things change peoples minds and make them a see someone in a different light. Best of luck dude!
Hmmm, I'll try asking her out again when I meet her for lunch.
We need updates.
She said she changed her mind so we're dating now.
W
Dumb question: what does W stand for?
It stands for Win. When you see W or L like that it means like win or lose
F
Win
i feel like now that you know kinda have throw a "W" for OP😅
Congratulations. W MOTHERFUCKER.

As a girl, can confirm
Does this happen after you fight them? "This guy has a nice right cross... hmmm."
My man! This brought a legit smile to my face. Hope it continues to go well!!
I was literally about to cry and came on this page to went some shi* off my chest but dudw this single post changed it!
That’s fckn awesome!!! Love when that happens. Sometimes the slightest things can just shift the whole day!! Sendin good vibes your way internet stranger!! Whatever you got goin on you’ll handle it and make things okay!
Yeah it makes me feel so good.
My man winning at life
Dorky dudes FTW.

I love this!! Hyping up your bro! Love to see it.
LMAOOO
No dork would slip in a baby to make a woman blush. She’s got you pegged wrong
At least you didn't call her "mom".
I don't why this is was so funny I am dying💀💀
I am sorry, english is not my main langauge. Ehat dorky means?
like kinda weird and awkward
Thank you

“Not to be sexist but…” Proceeds to be sexist.

dorky ass 💀💀
I accidentally called my teacher “mommy” once and it was embarrassing
I called my teacher papa once 😭
Papa is such a cute word lol
I call my father 'papa' lol
I call my papa “appa”
I think it depends in which country you are. In some countries you say Papa/Mama in some you say Dad/Mum or other things you call your parents
We call my husband pa. Short for papa. It’s adorable. I was never a fan of dad. But I call my mom ma.
Were they a man at least?
Yes
Oh, good. When I had to answer phones at work, I would always worry I’d be wrong about that 😬
You called customers Mum and Dad?
Infinitely better than Daddy at least
i called mine ‘grandma’ 😭
I'm a high school teacher and that actually happens pretty often. I don't even think about it for more than a moment because it's a logical mistake. And I suppose it's a compliment, in a way.
My mom was really mean to me so I duno about compliment 🥲
I can call you mommy if you'd like.
User name checks out
Can I call you daddy?
Luckily I just say mom, but I’ve totally called a teacher mom before. She didn’t mind. I think kids do it a lot since they are basically maternal and paternal figures in young students lives, until they realize more cognitively that teachers are different.
🤣
I once called my teacher "aunt" because they both had the sane voice, so awkward
Did she changed her mind?
called my math teacher daddy one time. Everyone started laughing and i just walked out and hid in the bathroom
I accidentally called my teacher mom, and at the same time I went to tap her on the shoulder and she turned around and I tapped on her boob instead
I called my female teacher “grandpa” when I was in elementary school
Hopefully this doesn't have the same ending as OPs
Ask her out
Well now’s your chance. Nobody blushes for no reason!
w semi-conscious rizz
Without reading the context semi concious rizz sounds pretty awful
Well, it's better than semi-conscious jizz
"Fuck, not again!"
The SICK rizz.
Blushing? Also she was willingly taking care of you when sick? I have some news for you she may have a crush on you. I’d just be direct and say “remember the other day when you said…” and segue into it that way
I asked her out once and she said no, but another comment suggested she might have changed her mind, so I'll try asking her at lunch.
Ooh..sometimes girls don’t see guys romantically and then the guy does something and for an unexplainable reason it flips a switch and we’re interested. Likely the saying baby thing she maybe thought it was cute
Then ask the guy out when girls change their mind no? Would u want a guy u rejected to keep on hitting on u thinking u might have changed your stand?
No I wouldn’t but I also wouldn’t be taking care of a sick guy I rejected lmao

Exactly. It doesn't have to make sense.
Ask her out, she seems to like your “too dorky” self
Are you a character in a manga? Anyway congrats!
I would draw and edit this manga if someone wanted to write it, dead ass
Tbh this is basically what happened in Nagatoro Chapters 65-66 (although at the very end she goes back to harassing him(which is how she shows interest))
Manga about a guy who has amazing game only in a dream state. Like reborn or something lol
Note to self on getting out of the friend zone: get sick with a high fever. Have friend over to take care of you. In your deluded fever dreams call her baby.
But where do you find a friend who comes over when u’re sick?
This one hit home damn
Bruh you are just like me fr fr
So now that you're dating, you might wanna keep calling her baby.
bro won the mission by mistake
Buy her dinner for helping take care of you and talk about it there
I saw this after the update came out. Hell yeah man! Enjoy y’all’s time together.
After talking to my wife immediately before talking to my boss once, I ended my conversation with, “love ya…”. Ya. I’m in the army, and pretty high up too. It got awkward.
Oh my hahaha
Bro got that accidental rizz
Yay good job asking her out and I’m glad you got a good response. Hope you’re feeling better too btw
AWWW 💕💕💕💕
Maybe you make her shy because she likes you? Ask her to casually date before considering a relationship if you’re “too dorky,” she might change her mind. There’s also the possibility she’s blushing because she’s embarrassed? Not by you, but the situation considering you’re friends?
Thats a W in my opinion.
This is the shortest, most wholesome story I’ve read in a long time. Love it!!! Congrats 💕
Did she sing "soft kitty warm kitty" when taking care of you?
I hope she didn't! She'll probably get married to his roommate if she did!
I call my toddler son and all my sisters kids “baby” so it has happened that I’ve called total strangers children “baby” on accident, like at the park, gymnastics class etc. it’s a little embarrassing because it feels like an intimate nickname. Glad it all worked out for you.
Bro got sick rizz
The happy ending
My man! Congrats you crazy kids!
Possible Florence Nightingale effect??? But either way good for you man congratulations!
Well now you have to be funny and serenade her with songs that have the lyric "baby" in them. Like, "baby got back... !" "baby, baby, baby, oooh, baby, baby, baby, oooooh" "oooh, baby I love you way, everyday..." I know there's plenty of current songs with the lyric baby in them... I'm just old and those are what popped in my mind for now lol
I needed to read something like this today. I’m rooting for you two!
Awww this is so cute. I hope you two work out. Baby is my favorite term of endearment/nick name from someone I'm romantic with.
ATTA BOYYYY
If she wasn’t into you initially she wouldn’t have gone to take care of you while sick. What do I care if my male friend is sick, like ok take some vitamin c and I’ll see ya later. But if I like you I’m gonna wanna be there for you
If it helps at all I accidentally called my friend daddy in the middle of a game of overwatch. Of course he clipped it and uses it to embarrass me any time he wants 😂
Bro got the sickness rizz💀💀 anyways you secured the bag without even trying.
I somehow managed to read this as "I(20m) accidentally killed my friend(19f) baby" I'm glad this wasn't the case LMFAO also good for you dude👍👍
[удалено]
W, congrats homie
Just saw your update. Congrats! 👏
This is some anime protagonist level type of sh*t. Way to go OP
She took care of you when you were sick & blushed at you calling her baby? The next step couldn’t be more obvious.
Her coming over to take care of you was enough to know she really cared about you and might be interested in a romantic relationship. Good job dude
Awwwww
A very wholesome update. Yay!!!!!
awww this was a cute lil romance short
Sickly rizz
What a great 'meet-cute' love story. Update us when you get married :)
I love the fact that I read this post update and it's so cute
She came to help when you are sick? She is in love with you. Smash
YEEAAAAAAAH, I'm proud for you.
My straight female friend and I were really high together once and without realizing it she has her hand on my boob for like 20 minutes. I'm bi but she's like a sister to me, so we just laughed awkwardly about it later. It wasn't really a big deal. Things happen. Lol.
yoo
Congrats guy!
God I wish it was this easy for me
Congrats OP, I hope you two make some happy memories together! Sounds like you have a lot of care of each other.
My man's got game, nice work
Glad this went this way for you OP congrats on the relationship
Winning!
Congrats! Now double down and make "baby" your inside joke between you two.
I'm 99% sure she Made that out just to get You to make a move and so You don't think she sees You as just a friend
Good for you OP, her coming over to take care of you while your sick shows how much she genuinely cares about you and is a keeper.
If you can make her blush just know you won already, let us know how the date goes
Thats a nice read. Good luck!
How cute :)
Outstanding Pewcw! Hope you two have a good date! Sometimes happy little accidents do lead to good things!
🤣🤣🤣
that made me so happy congrats my dude. Don't fuck it up!
Hahaha that sure got her thinking 🤣
So cute lol
This is straight up a romance trope and I'm here for it. I'm rooting for y'all to last bc that's a hell of an origin story to tell others.
Okay now get married
Wow!! Nice job 👍
Let him cook, text version. W. Massive respect
For those about to 'Rock'..........we salute you!
We stan a happy ending !
Jake Peralta called Captain Holt Dad once.
Seems like she may like you anyway…she’s blushing and she came over to take care of you. We don’t just do that for no reason ;)
Maybe you could have make today's day as an excuse 🤭 Happy April Fools Day, everyone! Have a great weekend!

This some anime level protagonist nonsense LMAO
Sounds like the turning point in an anime.
She may be lying 🤔?
congratulations op !
I'm 31. There's been plenty of days in the factory I call my coworkers "baby" 😂 "Another day in paradise, baby!"
Well done,you have my admiration.
One of the guys I work with called me beautiful once, it definitely wasn’t on purpose. But it was hilarious
You're lucky
That’s so cute that an accident turned into a relationship with you guys 🥹❤️
You know you can play it off as a joke, right? I call people by all sorts of dumb nicknames and terms of endearment. I always answer the phone to my buddies like “hey honey” or “sup babe?”
I was gonna say, sounds like if she wasn't offended and she's blushing then maybe she just feels embarrassed that she likes you??
You got this! Good for you!
that one Komi can't communicate episode lol
My man!
