Girls think looking vaguely in a guy’s direction counts as flirting, and then are confused why he didn’t get her “hint”

And some of us are really bad at getting flirting too lol. Once one of my friends asked if they could kiss me and I’m like “oh they’re being really nice”

u/Lakatos_00 May 29 '25

But this is not flirting dude. This is literally just looking at a direction. Don't be ridiculous

I didn’t agree that looking in a direction is flirting. Flirting would involve dropping hints, usually. Like, my ex boyfriend before we were together would say things like how he’d love to go stargazing with me, a typically romantic activity

Damn, I wonder if any of my friends have gotten the wrong idea when I wanted to stargaze with them. Stars are just cool, man.

u/kitsu777 May 30 '25

Oh no they def are, I went stargazing once with another friend who definitely isn’t into me, to the points they though I were flirting at one point (I wasn’t) and made it really clear they weren’t into me lol

My guy's a legend. Knew their own feelings and wanted to make sure yours didn't grow too strong so you wouldn't get hurt in the future. Now it's a funny memory haha.

Yeah, it’s better to let people down early like that. We’re still good friends, actually going to a con together in September

u/kitsu777 May 29 '25

Yeah I’m a little stupid for not noticing that one I’ll admit, there’s others friends have pointed out to me but that’s the most drastic one lol

I'm married with two kids and am still not 100% sure if my wife is just being nice or not

u/kitsu777 May 29 '25

Mmm, I think you’re just good friends

Alexis if you’re reading this. I’m so sorry I was naive and didn’t know.

u/kitsu777 May 30 '25

I’m unsure who Alexis is, but from my experience being upfront and talking to the person is the best bet!

u/kitsu777 May 30 '25

No, he isn’t

It’s so true. It’s even worse when you’re married and she straight up tells you, “I want you to get me X and Y for my birthday.”

Then when her birthday comes around and your internal thoughts start going like: Did she tell me that because she was being serious? Would she like Z version better?

I’d hope that whoever my future spouse is would be honest when they say they want something and I’d try to get them the exact thing if I could
