Yea, you can’t really tell. Maybe she’s from Canada and was just being polite.

I'm not autistic. Everybody else is just weird.

Team: Nobody actually ever flirted with me, and just the audacity to entertain any romantic Idea could me considered an insult to the person of the highest magnitude.

Edit: I'm getting ratioed by memes.

This meme will make a fine addition to my collection

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 14 points 2 weeks ago

Team: Anyone trying to genuinely flirt with me has bad enough judgment to be a red flag, or they are baiting a reaction. Not that I put my self in that kind of environment where flirting can occur in the first place.

I’m like 80% sure at this point, she keeps trying to hold my arm or hand, she said she wanted me to touch her ass the other day, and she also invited me to watch a show in her bedroom at one point.

idk for sure tho :/

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yea but that was like 3 days ago

[–] li10@feddit.uk 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You’re right, she’s probably not interested anymore

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe she's Canadian.

A woman I liked invited me over to watch some Buffy and we decided it got too late for me to go home, so I prepared to sleep on the sofa. She invited me to share her bed and I declined because I didn't want to inconvenience her. I was right, right? Right?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Women who go from 0 to 100 throw me off. So, she's inviting you for sex without any kissing or anything leading up to it? Was watching Buffy supposed to be the foreplay?

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don't know! Maybe there were other signs I missed? Maybe it was a last effort before I left in the morning? Maybe she really was just being nice? I guess it's a mystery I'll take to my grave.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Don't beat yourself up. Here's how I see it.

The big thing I'm concerned with here is consent. Sleeping together does not imply consent. If you're sleeping with me and you want sex, then you have to make that clear in some way. I'm not going to initiate sex if there isn't something going on that makes it clear that you want sex. Watching Buffy together doesn't cut it. Otherwise, I could wind up raping somebody, and I don't want to do that.

Think about if the roles were reversed. Would you invite a woman over, watch some TV, and then ask her to get into bed with you, expecting sex? If it was seduction, it was the most clumsy and indirect seduction ever.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

So what ? it's just a show. I too, love movies

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

They might be Canadian

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"She's so cute, there's no way she's single. She's probably just being really nice when she talks to me everyday"

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

she probably thinks of me like a brother, no way am I going to make it weird now

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Holy shit get out of my brain.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

don't leave out the fear of being title IX'd

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Going bankrupt?

Oh wait, that's chapter 11..

Title IX: Improved Intelligence is the ninth of ten titles which comprise the USA PATRIOT Act, an anti-terrorism bill passed in the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks. It amends the National Security Act of 1947 to require the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) to establish requirements and priorities for foreign intelligence collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and to provide assistance to the United States Attorney General to ensure that information derived from electronic surveillance or physical searches is disseminated for efficient and effective foreign intelligence purposes.

So you're foreign and afraid of the director of the CIA spying on you to copy your flirtation techniques? Completely understandable.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

afraid of the director of the CIA spying on you

lol i came to terms with that long ago

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm going to bore him to death.

Now watch, as I open Netflix, scroll around for a bit, don't click on anything, close Netflix, open YouTube look at some channels, don't watch anything, close YouTube, open Netflix again, still nothing, close Netflix, fuck it, I'll watch Stargate again on DVD.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

This, but also oblivious at the same time.

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

Team "Not bothering to look for signs/flirting and just asking out people I like and crossing my fingers."

[–] madnotangry@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago
[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

nah I'm team actually completely oblivious

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Someday I want a tv series where after 8+ episodes of flirting, it turns out that the guy was not oblivious: He just had zero interest in the girl in question.

30 years, 4 kids and one soon-to-be grandchild later: "Results still inconclusive, further observation required."

The flipside of "the worst she can say is no."
