I remember the time that a friend of mine was lying on a bed, looking me in the eye and saying "fuck me" and I somehow missed the hint.

Maybe she's Canadian and just being polite. You really can't know.

[–] unreachable@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

yeah, should be more straight instead.

like straddling them directly, instead just laying there with them, while saying it.

Damn, this reminds me of what happened to me. A girl I had the biggest crush on was lying in bed and saying take your shirt off and come over here. Back then I was super self-conscious about my body so I said: "Haha, why? No, I don't want to".

Years later I realized what she meant.

Do you wanna come up for a coffee?

Nah thanks, not in the mood for coffee

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 117 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I legit did this after a date once, though in my defence she asked me in for green tea and I don't like green tea lol.

She started to wonder if I was just very friendly and gay after that.

Fortunately I clarified the issue by marrying her.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which issue? The tea or the gay?

"No thanks. Coffee keeps me up at night"

-George Costanza

[–] Sprokes@jlai.lu 12 points 2 years ago

The thing I don't understand about George is how a dumb person like him get attractive dates that even ask him to their house at night.

Man... in college I was in the bedroom of a girl I had a crush on and didn't take the hint. She'd invited me over to do homework together but never touched a book and took me to her bedroom. I still didn't get the hint.

Hey some of us are meant to make lots and lots of babies with varied and sundry people. And spread lots and lots of STDs in the process.

And some of us (myself included) are not. Which is fine because babies are expensive, and gross. Now I'm sterile, I can have all the sex I want, and I only need to watch for the disease part

Like that anecdote that Zizek always tells when the girl basically replies "good, I don't have any coffee at home"

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 80 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We could be actively fucking and I'd still doubt if that's what she meant. I'd need something like a testimony under oath and corroborating opinions from three independent psychologists.

Hello, I am writing to you under the freedom of information act to ask if you are into me.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Just like others with a missed , obvious, opportunity.

I had a girl take me to a room, take her clothes off, and then just look at me and and ask "Well?"

I had no fucking clue what she meant or what to do so I just did nothing. She then changed into different clothes and left.

[–] ben16w@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Maybe she wanted you to dress her?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 29 points 2 years ago

It took me 5 years to realize she did not actually need her PC fixed. I missed my only chance.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe she just want you to check out her new invisible tattoo, can't be sure.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago

It might've been a black-light tattoo and she simply forgot to turn on her UV lamp.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck, how is this so common? I thought I was the only being this dumb.

You did the right thing friend. It would have been very embarrassing for you if you had misinterpreted her meaning.

I remember an acquaintance was complaining about their computer turning off when they closed the lid, so I told her to hand it over and I'd see if I could fix it.

She said she'd buy me dinner to thank me, but my fix didn't really fix the problem, I just made the computer not sleep when you closed it, and so I didn't feel like it was worth a reward

She even asked a second time, it took me years to realize I unknowing (firmly) shot her down

[–] force@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

real, being neurodivergent makes this 10x as relatable

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 58 points 2 years ago

It's so hard to see past a belief that nobody could possibly by interested in you that way.

Bruh i didn't even get it reading it the first time

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

If it helps folks feel better, successful relationships often require successful communication. If one is playing games and the other isn't getting it, that may be a good thing that the moment was missed; you weren't on the same wavelength and should probably pair with a better match.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 31 points 2 years ago

TIL I have a crush on everyone.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Johanno@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago

Could be Canadian

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think the second girl meant the first one acted weird and awkward around everybody, not just her crush, so it's not reasonable to conclude the second girl was the crush anyway.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 26 points 2 years ago (4 children)

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That's how perception works. She can't see how first girl acts when she's not there, because she wouldn't be there to see it.

That’s how I read it and dark hair was just like “wow I can’t believe I said that to someone” sometimes it takes us a while to realize we put our foot in our mouth but the interpretation that is more common in this thread probably makes more sense.

Is she still fed up with her friends insecurity after a year?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

No, blonde girl was dropping hints that emo girl is her crush. Emo girl didn't get the hint until a year later.
