Reject indirect, cue-based communication. Embrace direct, non-repentant "I want to have fuck with you".

Do you want some making fuck?

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 26 points 1 year 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.

First time I was at a bath house this cute guy started talking to my and asked "so, are you a daddy?"

"Yeah! I've got two kids and they're..."

Do you wanna come up for a coffee?

Nah thanks, not in the mood for coffee

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 131 points 1 year ago (5 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.

[–] Abird1620@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 year ago

You overreacted. You are definitely a closeted gay.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a proportionate way to solve the misunderstanding.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which issue? The tea or the gay?

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.

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.

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.

[–] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 year ago

It hurts just reading this

[–] ben16w@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Maybe she wanted you to dress her?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

real, being neurodivergent makes this 10x as relatable

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 60 points 1 year 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

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

TIL I have a crush on everyone.

There was this one guy I was good friends with during my late teens, always taking pictures of us... Took me embarrassingly long to realise he had the gay hots for me. In my defense, I leaned way more hetero at the time.

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.
