Publish Not your original work? Add source Correct me if I'm wrong, but the language of love is never straightforward. In fact, we often tend to communicate much more subtly; through hints, messages, gestures, and references, hoping that our love interest or significant other would actually get it. But sometimes, much more often than we think, it's not how it works. Call it miscommunication, but romantic messages do not always reach their addressee which results in some pretty hilarious stories to tell. So this time, we're taking a look at some of these missed opportunities and how reality won over intention. Have a good laugh! After you're done, be sure to check out our previous post with more obvious hints from girls that guys did not notice. This post may include affiliate links. #1 In high school I walked into a classroom and a very attractive girl that was an acquaintance at most came up to me and said "djw, did you know that Rodrigo and I broke up?"
I said, "oh, sorry to hear that," and went on my way.
Then I spent the rest of the day and night thinking about that. Why the hell would SHE tell me that? Why they hell would she tell ME that? Why was she smiling when she told me that?
The next time I saw her, I asked her what she was doing that weekend and she said, "nothing, do you want to go to a movie?" And that was the moment that I realized what was happening. And I wound up getting a date out of it.
And eventually, a family. djw319 , kasharimitchell Report Final score: 259points POST Otter Otter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Better late than never, dude! 91 91points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Love is a tricky game. No wonder there are volumes upon volumes of books, TV shows, podcasts, and even courses created to help us navigate its rocky terrain. Sometimes it pays off, but often our romantic hopes get shattered and time is the only power that's able to heal that wound. So in order to find out how to really determine whether your romantic interest is into you, we spoke with James Preece, a leading Dating Expert in the UK who has helped 1000s of single people. No wonder people often describe him as the UK's version of Hitch. #4 Me posting on Facebook: “anyone wanna go hiking this weekend?”

View more comments So first off, we wanted to figure out what you should do if your romantic interest is not getting your subtle hints, no matter what you do. "If you've tried being subtle and it didn't get noticed, then it's time to change tact," the dating expert said. "It's worth noting that they might already be aware of your interest, but they aren't sure how to react. If they aren't keen, then they will pretend they've not noticed to avoid embarrassment." #7 Her: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: No...no one would date me anyway.
Her: I’d date you.
Me: Thanks, but you don’t need to pity me.
Her: I would date you
Me: Thanks but...

View more comments Having said that, James explained that "if they like you then they need it spelled out clearly just in case they've got it wrong." What he suggests is "rather than an over-the-top romantic gesture, just ask them if they'd like to go out on a date one evening." James assured us that it doesn't need to be more complicated than that and they might be curious about just one meeting. #10 I was living with my then-boyfriend a few years ago. Feeling a little flirtatious, I suggested we could take a shower together, you know, to save water, wink wink.
His response? "Why? We don't pay for water."
Shut. Down. Eternally_Curious , The Creative Exchange Report Final score: 171points POST James016 James016 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) Hints don't work on us men. 74 74points reply View More Replies... View more comments #11 In high school, a girl invited me to her house after school, and brought me up to her room. Once we were there, she excused herself to go change in the bathroom. She was in there about 10 minutes.
Then her mom came home and immediately started yelling at her for having a boy over, and I had to leave. She (the daughter) walked me outside and said, "I'm not sure why you didn't try anything when I was naked in the bathroom..."
So she thought that was a huge hint.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking, "She seemed 100% into me and it seemed like we were about to hook up, but why the [hell] would I barge into the bathroom to watch her change? Maybe that's what she wanted, but with someone else, I could have ended up labeled as a sexual predator."
There was another time that I was alone at a beach at night with a girl in my class, and she suggested that we go skinny dipping. When we were both naked and dripping wet, I tried to make a move, and she shut me down immediately saying that she didn't mean to send me signals.
Anyway, my advice for people is not to take/give hints. Be mature and talk about it.

View more comments However, at some point, it may become evident that unfortunately, your interest is not romantically interested in you. James said that if you've tried a few different techniques, then it's probably a good idea to accept it's not going to work. "This can often be because you've already established a friendship or working relationship. Once you get categorized then it's very difficult to get them to change that." #13 Can I say one I was oblivious to?
I was out of town, chatting to a girl at a bar. We figured out I was 13 inches taller than her. She said, "That's funny, I'm going on a date with a guy who is 13 inches taller than me tomorrow. And I'll probably f*ck him after."
My response? "Well, that's a weird coincidence!"
I didn't figure it out until I was on a plane home.

A girl I knew had started chatted to me on Facebook. I thought nothing much of it, figured she was out of my league, it was nice to chat. But, you know, I chatted to lots of people.
A few weeks into this chatting, I get a package in the mail. In it is Radiohead's "In Rainbows", with a note that says, "Hope you enjoy. My favorite track is 8. x"
I message her, I say thanks and that I really dug track 5.
"What about track 8?"
"Oh, yeah, it's okay."
"I really think you should listen to track 8 again."
Track 8 was "House of Cards", which opens: "I don't want to be your friend / I just want to be your lover / No matter how it ends / No matter how it starts"

View more comments When it comes to dating in general, James confirmed that the pandemic has really changed the way people are dating. "They've been forced to slow things down, which is actually a great thing. They've had a great chance to reflect on what they do and don't want." The dating coach also said that he firmly believes that people are now much more serious about finding a long-term partner and they aren't willing to settle anymore. "So they are less likely to be messing around on dating apps and more likely to look to meet people in the real world," James concluded. #19 She invited me to go swimming with her in college, but before we went to the pool, we'd need to stop at her room so I could tell her which bikini looked the best on her.

It was a boring job of feeling like a pedophile the whole time because little kids would hug you constantly and be all over you. They were at just the perfect height for every kid's face to be just in your crotch. It was nearing noon and my shift was soon to be over when a girl my age, 17, stole the bear head right from my own head and ran away with it. I wasn't gonna pay for a damn bear head if she didn't return it, so I ran after her and followed her into an empty classroom with the lights off and the shudders shut tightly. She said something like "oh looky here, mr papa bear, I'm holding your head, I'm a bad girl" I was pissed she took it and wasn't thinking so I, being oblivious to her remark, took the head yelled "THE CHILDREN NEED ME" and stormed out.

We exchange some more smiles, and my heart was goin nuts cause I was gonna actually ask, but the back of my head kept thinking "she's too good, she's just smiling out of respect". So I didn't. She gets to the register and asks to use her rewards account. The cashier asks her name and she gives it. Nothing comes up, so he asks her for her number. She gives it very slowly and on the last four digits, turns around and looks me dead in the eyes. The guy says there's no account and she doesn't even acknowledge it, just pays and leaves. I get into the break room, and it hits me that she may have been trying to hint something.

A good girl friend of mine was IMO flirting hard with a male friend...she would always make a big deal for him to sit with him on the couch, by the fire, in the car, she would always come down in the evening in his shorts/sweaters, and she would lean into him whenever they were sitting and sometimes lock her arms in his. Now near the last night they took a walk at night by the beach and she came back pissed and so did he but we left it alone. He told us that they were literally walking when she asked to stop and and look at the water while she turned him so she could lean her back into his chest and hold his arms around her, he took this and everything else as a sign 1 6 6points reply Brian Michael Brian Michael Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago He leaned in for a kiss and she denied him and became upset and said I only like you as a friend and left him on the beach. He left the next day but she stayed until the end and just kept trying to say how much of a creep (her exact words) he was and how she hates how guys act like that. We told her flatly that we thought she was flirting and she said that's just how she shows affection to friends (never has she done that with any of the other male friends but I digress) and that's when I realized that he is a very polite and distance guy so all that physical contact would be a lot for him so he misread the sign and now it's her word that he is a creep.

Way too many times being polite is confused for flirting and, just an accidental smile gets interpreted as "leading on". Better to be safe than sorry.

I will have to disagree cause this is what many guys say nowadays: i cannot even flirt anymore because some girl might accuse me for being a creep! If they accuse him for being a creep, is because he IS a creep! The line is there, they just miss it! And honestly when someone confuses politeness with flirt, they just lie to themselves! I agree with the "better to be safe than sorry" but i don't think it's so confusing to see the differences! -4 -4points reply Brian Michael Brian Michael Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I don't see how you can be so extreme in that position.

30 Times Guys Failed To Notice The Most Obvious Signals From Girls And Had Only Themselves To Blame Interview
Liucija Adomaite andIlona Baliūnaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Correct me if I'm wrong, but the language of love is never straightforward. In fact, we often tend to communicate much more subtly; through hints, messages, gestures, and references, hoping that our love interest or significant other would actually get it. But sometimes, much more often than we think, it's not how it works. Call it miscommunication, but romantic messages do not always reach their addressee which results in some pretty hilarious stories to tell. So this time, we're taking a look at some of these missed opportunities and how reality won over intention. Have a good laugh! After you're done, be sure to check out our previous post with more obvious hints from girls that guys did not notice. This post may include affiliate links. #1 In high school I walked into a classroom and a very attractive girl that was an acquaintance at most came up to me and said "djw, did you know that Rodrigo and I broke up?"
I said, "oh, sorry to hear that," and went on my way.
Then I spent the rest of the day and night thinking about that. Why the hell would SHE tell me that? Why they hell would she tell ME that? Why was she smiling when she told me that?
The next time I saw her, I asked her what she was doing that weekend and she said, "nothing, do you want to go to a movie?" And that was the moment that I realized what was happening. And I wound up getting a date out of it.
And eventually, a family. djw319 , kasharimitchell Report Final score: 259points POST Otter Otter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Better late than never, dude! 91 91points reply View More Replies...

Sometimes it pays off, but often our romantic hopes get shattered and time is the only power that's able to heal that wound. So in order to find out how to really determine whether your romantic interest is into you, we spoke with James Preece, a leading Dating Expert in the UK who has helped 1000s of single people.

"If you've tried being subtle and it didn't get noticed, then it's time to change tact," the dating expert said. "It's worth noting that they might already be aware of your interest, but they aren't sure how to react. If they aren't keen, then they will pretend they've not noticed to avoid embarrassment." #7 Her: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: No...no one would date me anyway.

James assured us that it doesn't need to be more complicated than that and they might be curious about just one meeting. #10 I was living with my then-boyfriend a few years ago.

View more comments #11 In high school, a girl invited me to her house after school, and brought me up to her room. Once we were there, she excused herself to go change in the bathroom. She was in there about 10 minutes.
Then her mom came home and immediately started yelling at her for having a boy over, and I had to leave. She (the daughter) walked me outside and said, "I'm not sure why you didn't try anything when I was naked in the bathroom..."
So she thought that was a huge hint.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking, "She seemed 100% into me and it seemed like we were about to hook up, but why the [hell] would I barge into the bathroom to watch her change? Maybe that's what she wanted, but with someone else, I could have ended up labeled as a sexual predator."
There was another time that I was alone at a beach at night with a girl in my class, and she suggested that we go skinny dipping. When we were both naked and dripping wet, I tried to make a move, and she shut me down immediately saying that she didn't mean to send me signals.
Anyway, my advice for people is not to take/give hints. Be mature and talk about it.

Once you get categorized then it's very difficult to get them to change that." #13 Can I say one I was oblivious to?
I was out of town, chatting to a girl at a bar. We figured out I was 13 inches taller than her. She said, "That's funny, I'm going on a date with a guy who is 13 inches taller than me tomorrow. And I'll probably f*ck him after."

View more comments When it comes to dating in general, James confirmed that the pandemic has really changed the way people are dating. "They've been forced to slow things down, which is actually a great thing. They've had a great chance to reflect on what they do and don't want." The dating coach also said that he firmly believes that people are now much more serious about finding a long-term partner and they aren't willing to settle anymore. "So they are less likely to be messing around on dating apps and more likely to look to meet people in the real world," James concluded. #19 She invited me to go swimming with her in college, but before we went to the pool, we'd need to stop at her room so I could tell her which bikini looked the best on her. My stupid ass said, "I'm sure they all look great, just pick one and meet me at the pool." downsouthcountry , Haley Phelps Report Final score: 111points POST Andy Acceber Andy Acceber Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yeah, you definitely missed that one, bud. 54 54points reply View More Replies...

She got pretty distant after that.

View more comments #21 A few years ago I was working at my elementary school's annual spring fling. That day I volunteered to be the school mascot(a big-ass bear costume) for the morning shift. It was a boring job of feeling like a pedophile the whole time because little kids would hug you constantly and be all over you. They were at just the perfect height for every kid's face to be just in your crotch. It was nearing noon and my shift was soon to be over when a girl my age, 17, stole the bear head right from my own head and ran away with it. I wasn't gonna pay for a damn bear head if she didn't return it, so I ran after her and followed her into an empty classroom with the lights off and the shudders shut tightly. She said something like "oh looky here, mr papa bear, I'm holding your head, I'm a bad girl" I was pissed she took it and wasn't thinking so I, being oblivious to her remark, took the head yelled "THE CHILDREN NEED ME" and stormed out.

On break, I bought some pizza rolls and hoped she would be in my line. Low and behold, she is in the 14 or less line. We exchange some more smiles, and my heart was goin nuts cause I was gonna actually ask, but the back of my head kept thinking "she's too good, she's just smiling out of respect". So I didn't. She gets to the register and asks to use her rewards account. The cashier asks her name and she gives it. Nothing comes up, so he asks her for her number. She gives it very slowly and on the last four digits, turns around and looks me dead in the eyes. The guy says there's no account and she doesn't even acknowledge it, just pays and leaves. I get into the break room, and it hits me that she may have been trying to hint something.

then a few months later she says she likes me and i'm like "what the hell, where did that came from???"
Also after the whole thing happened i reviwed the hole year in my head one day and just went "sh*t i am dumb as a brick" like everyday this girl flirted with me and i just tought it was a normal thing, i am so dumb.
EDIT: Also after that lunch she insisted in going to my house, after a lot of trying she got me to say
"Yeah ok we can go"
When we arrived she asked to see my bedroom, and so i showed her, she then saw my guitar and asked to play a song for her to what i replied

People can be labeled creeps and they aren't being one and I have a great example that happened over last weekend. A bunch of us got a cabin in Vermont on the lake. It was around 13 people full time with a couple coming in and out and it was both male/female. A good girl friend of mine was IMO flirting hard with a male friend...she would always make a big deal for him to sit with him on the couch, by the fire, in the car, she would always come down in the evening in his shorts/sweaters, and she would lean into him whenever they were sitting and sometimes lock her arms in his. Now near the last night they took a walk at night by the beach and she came back pissed and so did he but we left it alone. He told us that they were literally walking when she asked to stop and and look at the water while she turned him so she could lean her back into his chest and hold his arms around her, he took this and everything else as a sign 1 6 6points reply Brian Michael Brian Michael Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago He leaned in for a kiss and she denied him and became upset and said I only like you as a friend and left him on the beach. He left the next day but she stayed until the end and just kept trying to say how much of a creep (her exact words) he was and how she hates how guys act like that. We told her flatly that we thought she was flirting and she said that's just how she shows affection to friends (never has she done that with any of the other male friends but I digress) and that's when I realized that he is a very polite and distance guy so all that physical contact would be a lot for him so he misread the sign and now it's her word that he is a creep.
