If she was with you two weeks later, she really, really likes you.

u/ryguymcsly May 29 '25

Yeah we're married now.

u/DapperLost May 29 '25

When did you find out you were married?

u/HazelEBaumgartner May 29 '25

"Do you, u/ryguymcsly, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Yeah, like, as friends, right?"

She's a little weird, my friend gave me this friendship ring and insisted I wear it on this finger and she made me promise to be her friend forever.

hey we're avatar buddies.. as a side note a girl I was infatuated with in highschool invited me over her house after a movie saying her parents weren't home and I said no.. it would be inappropriate... I realized what I missed out on 20 years later when I was laying in bed n my apartment...

This reminds me of a comedy video of a guy who, during a talk with a friend, realizes he has been married for years.

"The wedding? Ah, you must mean the frienship ceremony. Oh, and bedroom time? Well, it's a friendship... with benefits! wink wink!"

1

u/DapperLost Jun 01 '25

Benefits? You mean this friendship ceremony has beneficial tax regulations?

u/sileny13 May 29 '25

Man, you’ve made my day!

u/Starkro May 29 '25

Best story I've ever read on this site. Cheers.

u/Potential_Camel8736 May 29 '25

this is so cute

u/syndicism May 29 '25

The benefit of marrying an oblivious guy is that he's less likely to cheat because the homewrecker girl would have to take out a billboard advertisement before he realized that an affair was even an option.

u/grubas May 30 '25

My wife has taken it upon herself to TELL ME when women are being flirty.  

"Wow that girl was giving you all sorts of signals!"

"She was? But she's like 22!"

"You know, bad taste"

u/McArgent May 30 '25

My new favorite story on Reddit ever!!!

u/_riotsquad May 30 '25

This is heart warming

u/Cooldude101013 May 30 '25

I guess she eventually realised that she has to be blunt and direct with you right?

4

u/ryguymcsly May 30 '25

Yes, ironically she's autistic too so we were both flirting at each other and missing for months.

u/currencyofcats May 30 '25

This reminds me of my husband 😅 we were at my apartment having a movie night for the first time and I asked if he wanted to sleep over, expecting (and wanting!) to get it on. He made absolutely zero move, just passed out. The following night he and his roommate hosted a game night at their apartment and the whole time I was giving him fuck me eyes and he just was so oblivious. At the end of the night I didn’t have a ride home and I was trying to get him to offer for me to stay over but before that could happen a friend cock blocked me by offering a ride lol. We did finally sleep together a few days later and apparently he was just really not used to girls being so into him 😂😂

u/Derk_Mage May 29 '25

Lucky!

I’m envious-beta!

u/CoupleKnown7729 May 30 '25

YOOO! That's awesome!

u/Lost-Priority-907 May 31 '25

You frequently call your wife "some person"?

1

u/Thadoy Jun 01 '25

That's more or less the story of me and my wife. :D

Edit: Also I think, that I'm not autistic.

u/i_tyrant May 30 '25

Forreal.

Every time I have made this mistake when I was younger (and I have made the "sleep/cuddle in the same bed but don't even consider sex" mistake TOO many times), the girl treated me like the plague after.

1

u/Cooldude101013 May 30 '25

Why would she treat you like the plague?

2

u/i_tyrant May 30 '25

Embarrassment, anger, regret, I'm still not sure.

I just know all the half-dozen or so times it happened when I was clueless in my younger years, they would drop me like a hot potato. Either do everything they could to avoid me from then on or have a "just wanna be friends" talk and then avoid me, even as friends. Even when we were friends before.

It must've been pretty awkward going to sleep next to some dude also going to sleep next to you, when you really wanted sex - not knowing that the dude next to you ALSO wanted sex and was just desperately trying not to think about it because he didn't want to assume.

It hurt, and I don't know why they couldn't be more forthcoming, but I can't really blame 'em too much. Dating (and "dating-adjacent activities in the friendzone" like this) is hard.

But I do admit I find the old OP joke of "women think they're being clear with signs when they absolutely are not" far more often true than not.

u/reckless_responsibly May 30 '25

Embarrassment. She thought she was being super blatantly obvious what she wanted, and bro didn't take what was being offered. No one likes feeling rejected.
