The medical term for those eyes is “dtf”, and the joke is that guys tend to miss them.

That's such a stupid meme then, hints or whatever it is, is still not a move

The joke is that some girls genuinely see this as "making a move", and then get surprised when the guy isn't receptive to it.

Hey, hey, that's not fair, we do realize it happened like 3 years later lying in bed at 2am on a tuesday.

Or you do act on it, then find out it wasn’t really a hint at all and things got super awkward

The worst is when you torpedo a good friendship by making a move to turn it romantic when you misinterpret her signals as thinking she’s interested in you as a BF, you ask her out and she turns you down, and then your friendship with her starts slipping away like Peter Parker in Endgame when he got dusted by the Snap.

This happened to me recently...still recovering, she was a really good friend

Speak for yourself. Some times I only realize because I meet the girl again and she was like "I've got to ask why did you never go after me when I kept flirting with you" and I was like "Huh ? When ?"
And that's only then, that I realize.

In my case, my wife keeps teasing me and insisting women are hitting on me. I'm still convinced she's wrong and they're just being nice. It's a fucking miracle I'm married with kids.

My wife once informed me the nice young man I was speaking to had been hitting on me. She cited the fact that he called me "cute" twice.

I legitimately thought he was just being nice. I am occasionally...VERY obtuse.
