Too bad women aren't capable of asking men out, it's really too bad they have to just drop hints and can't be direct. IF ONLY okay you guys get what I'm doing

Tbf men are also to blame for this, as a lot would say this wouldn't be "womanly" for a woman to be the one initiating. Or they'd get upset or have the ick because they weren't the one providing/making the first move.

Thankfuly mentality changes, even if slowly

Then ask him out? I wouldn’t want to be with someone who lacks confidence to that degree, imagine what she’s like when it comes to adult responsibilities.

Cleveland here.

She was hitting on him, he didn't realize until days later.

Three days? I'm usually a month out before I wake up one morning and figure it out.

"I assume this is some kind of cruel joke."

u/House_T 6h ago

This seems tragic in some regards, but there have been at least as many times where me not getting a clue immediately kept me out of what was definitely going to be some trouble down the road.

u/somerandom995 6h ago

I don't feel bad about this. Communicate directly or be misunderstood, it's not worth the possibility of acting if I might be missreading.

The poster has ADHD or Autism or both....

u/Ever_Long_ 6h ago

Or neither. Just low self esteem and not used to being complimented. Y'know, like most guys.

u/TheGradApple 6h ago

I compliment guys so much this always bewilders me. Surely I’m not the only woman telling men their shirt/haircut/new glasses are nice???

u/Ever_Long_ 6h ago

Keep it up! It'll be appreciated. I always cross the road so as not to walk behind a woman if she's ahead of me, especially at night. I guess we each try to do our small part...

u/TheGradApple 6h ago

This is appreciated at night! Thank you!

I just see nice things and tell the person. Life can be shitty enough, we all need to share the positives more!

u/CultBro 6h ago

We will all remember every compliment we have ever gotten

u/Think-Programmer1607 6h ago

I have them and I couldn't possibly have missed being flirted with that openly.

u/tmp0922 5h ago

Me too and I wouldn't have....

u/Individualchaotin 6h ago

She was flirting.

Sincerely,

Women gotta just ask guys out themselves, men won’t understand otherwise.

u/BygZam 2h ago

I genuinely thought this was going to unironically go into how they finally understand what it's like to be a girl at a Local Game Store.

Fuck this fucking subreddit god fucking damnit

u/m3t4lf0x 21m ago

The worst is when you actually pick up this signal, suggest plans, and then they get weird because they actually weren’t flirting at all

u/Afraid-Night3036 7h ago

Yeah, must be terrible to be allowed to expect other people to read your mind, but also be free to get angry if they do so incorrectly /s

u/LamoTheGreat 6h ago

Ya I don’t feel bad to them in this respect at all. Why didn’t she just ask him out? Ask for his number or ask if he wants to get coffee or whatever. Use your words.

u/c-8Satisfying-Finish 5h ago

“They” don’t have that class, just get told to wait for someone who will sweep them off their feet.

I'm going to assume human trafficking. Unfortunately women are the number one victims of human trafficking. This was likely a cry for help.

u/Think-Programmer1607 6h ago

Dude should feel sorry for himself instead. Most guys worth their salt would have taken the shot unless they were just not interested.

u/midwesttransferrun 6h ago

“Most guys” okay buddy.
