If someone says they like me that's always a huge red flag for me
I only date people with standards

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, like, come on, you like ME? Are you sure you're not just crazy...? NEXT.
Good god, that's a real post, isn't it.
I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation, but posting on Reddit isn't it.
I'm pretty sure that it's a joke post but you never know, she could be Canadian.
Cant be so sure!
What's the thing about canadians?
They're really nice.
Thanks! Love you ;)
I know it is meant to be a joke and we are meant to think that assuming the Reddit post is even real that it is funny the person would do that. However this is actually becoming a real problem . There's a mix of extremes happening and it has gotten to the point where a lot of younger men are in the mindset that it's basically impossible for this to happen and they are terrified of assuming and accepting the feelings. Because if they get it wrong they get called a creep ridiculed and just otherwise dragged through the dirt socially. Or at least that is the fear that they have I have doubts that it's actually that bad , it probably happens in some places but it is the fear that a lot of men in general have right now.
I've caught myself thinking that way when I end up falling for a friend. That I'm the one who's wrong for having those feelings and I should have just been happy with friendship. During that time it probably would have been not quite as bad as the comic but short of explicitly saying they love me and asking me out I would not have assumed anything was them having romantic interest in me.

Thanks for the heads up! I have reuploaded the image. could you check again to see its working
Yup, all good now.
Works fine from lemmy.zip
Same comic but he asks ChatGPT.
Surrounding the joke with a comic actually makes it less funny here.
