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

Do you want some making fuck?

[–] Lamedonyx@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

*If you're a woman. That's a good way to end up on a list if you're a man.

[–] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Bro. You don't ask this to random people. You need to build rapport. I have plenty of times vibed with people and then told them i got the hots for them and then we did the deed. It ain't too hard. Just be clear and upfront and make some vibe checks.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It's not too hard for you. If it was as easy as you say for everyone, nobody would be upvoting this post.

I remember the time that a friend of mine was lying on a bed, looking my 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 23 points 10 months 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 102 points 10 months 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 50 points 10 months ago

You overreacted. You are definitely a closeted gay.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 39 points 10 months ago

Sounds like a proportionate way to solve the misunderstanding.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Which issue? The tea or the gay?

"No thanks. Coffee keeps me up at night"

-George Costanza

[–] Sprokes@jlai.lu 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The thing I don't understand about George is how a dumb person like him get attractive dates that even ask him to their house at night.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Confidence goes a very long way. You don't have to be attractive to get dates.

Like that anecdote that Zizek always tells when the girl basically replies "good, I don't have any coffee at home"

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.

[–] papertowels@lemmy.one 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 58 points 10 months ago

It hurts just reading this

[–] ben16w@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

Maybe she wanted you to dress her?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she just want you to check out her new invisible tattoo, can't be sure.

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

[–] force@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

real, being neurodivergent makes this 10x as relatable

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 48 points 10 months ago

It's so hard to see past a belief that nobody could possibly by interested in you that way.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 34 points 10 months ago

Bruh i didn't even get it reading it the first time

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (10 children)

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.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 10 months ago (6 children)

this doesn't make sense tho, why would she say "talking to my crush is awful" to her crush? it doesn't seem reasonable

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 35 points 10 months ago

Testing the water!

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Actually more common than you'd think.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 16 points 10 months ago

Could be Canadian

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 21 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I think the second girl meant the first one acted weird and awkward around everybody, not just her crush, so it's not reasonable to conclude the second girl was the crush anyway.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 20 points 10 months ago (5 children)

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That's how perception works. She can't see how first girl acts when she's not there, because she wouldn't be there to see it.
