    When I was eleven one of my lady friends started talking about how romantic the night sky was when we were alone in the park. I did not realise why she would bring that up haha.

    I once spent the night talking to a girl I had a crush on out in my veranda watching the moon and the stars in the sky under a blanket together.

    I was at this guy’s house and he started telling me at length about all of the various household objects that he was able to accommodate in his asshole. I’m straight so it wouldn’t have done me a lot of good to pick up on it at the time, but for around 15 or 20 years I just thought he was really quirky.

    This one’s a bit embarrassing, but looking back, it was pretty obvious. There was this guy I met at a party, and we’d hit it off right away. We spent most of the night talking, and he kept dropping these subtle comments about how we should “hang out more” or “grab a drink sometime, just the two of us.”

    Honestly, I didn’t think much of it at first. I thought he was just being friendly. But then, as the night went on, he kept getting closer and closer—almost too close for just a friendly conversation. I’m talking, our shoulders were practically touching, and he was constantly making little remarks like, “You have no idea how much fun we’d have if we hung out alone” or “I bet you’d like my place, it’s so cozy.”

    But I just… didn’t catch it. I thought he was just joking or being, like, super chill. Fast forward to the end of the night, and he’s about to leave, and he finally just looks at me and says, “Are you going to kiss me or what?”

    I froze. The poor guy probably thought I didn’t like him, but in reality, I had just completely missed every single sign he’d been dropping all night.

    We ended up kissing, and honestly, we laughed about it. I think he was a little annoyed at first, but it worked out—at least for that night. He gave me a teasing “took you long enough,” and we hung out again shortly after. So, no harm done, but damn, I still cringe thinking about how clueless I was.

    She asked me to carry her to her room and I started going over Lore of Sekiro. She ended up being carried to her room by another guy and I have lived on with that regret.

    A lady customer I chat to when she comes in, started telling me that she doesn’t remember having sex with her husband , and then says they haven’t been together long , I think she is keen for some side action but I could never do that to my wife

    We were on a group camping trip, including my new girlfriend and another girl who knew someone else in the group and was visiting from another state. My girlfriend/now wife told me later that the other girl was really interested in me and was aggressively trying to get close to me. I had zero idea and to this day I can’t picture what she was talking about. My wife explained it to me, but I still can’t see it. Just as well.

    Went to a party at college. Saw a girl I went to high school with. Started catching up about the last 2 years. Hung out for a couple hours. We ended up on tattoos and piercings. I got a Jacob’s Ladder, she wanted to see it. We go upstairs to an empty room and I pull it out. She drops to her knees and really looks it over, like 2 inches away. Says “i wonder what it feels like.” My dumb ass says “i dont know, never been on the receiving end.” And pull up my pants. And we go back down to the party. Elapsed time, 3 minutes. Years later she tells me she was hinting as hard as she could.

    Was talking to someone on a dating app, and they had to message me (I’m flirting with you, btw). Ended up not working out, but it was funny

    She asked me for a massage in her room and took off her shirt on her 16th birthday after her party.

    I gave her a really nice massage and she fell asleep.

    I covered her up with a blanket and told her parents she was sleeping as I left the house.

    A few years later, another lady asked for a massage in a similar manner and I figured out what I had missed the first time. Unfortunately, as I was giving her a really nice massage, my grandfather came into the room and said it was time to head out for dinner.

    My junior year of highschool was my first and only year at a school in South America. I was shy and always extremely overworked from my job, so I didn’t talk much and was a generally distant kid.

    I had a crush on this one girl, though we didn’t talk much and had no classes together. Once word got out I was soon moving overseas, she suddenly approached me while I rushed over to my job, begging me to stay, that this was such a surprise, that everybody would miss me. I was rushing, and so perplexed that I apologized and kept going.

    Several years later, one of my buddies I made that year made it clear that yes, she was trying to confess her feelings for me. I was pissed, and the experience was a wake up call to listen to the people in front of me and live in the present.

    I actually bumped into her in NYC from where we last saw each other, ironically while I rushed to work yet again. This time, I decided to go into work late for this. She was now living in Canada, and just visiting, but it brought closure to that arc.

    In college, a girl once said:
    “It’s so cold in here… I wish I had someone to cuddle with.”

    I handed her my hoodie and said,
    “This is pretty warm!”

    She sighed. Loudly.

    We never spoke again.

    like, she was straight up actually flirting and I just brushed it off as flattery. like, daily, frequently, to the point where my class accused her of sexual harassment. I think she was waiting for me to make a move, but I ended up dropping that class (for completely unrelated reasons) and there was just never really a good time to talk to her again.

    We were coworkers, we’d gotten in some small with the managers about our very obvious flirting with each other at work, on shift, with customers around, a few days before I was going to move to another city she invited me to her house, since her parents weren’t home, to “help her rearrange her bedroom”, this being sent on Snapchat we sent pics back and forth and she was very obviously not wearing a shirt, my response “yeah maybe I know other coworker is getting a little party going later so I might go over there”. A few days later I moved, we barely spoke after that, and afaik she’s in a happy relationship so good for her at least

    When I was younger, I used to like to watch my older sister play The Sims in her room. When she was finished, she would start playing solitaire. I believe she was just trying to hint that she was tired and wanted to be alone then.

    A girl stumbled on the table and got hazlenut cream on her arm, she asks me to lick it……i say no thinking that she was making fun of me…..

    Important context on this, she was very friendly and affectionate with me the whole evening, even sat on my lap…..i then stood up and offered her my seat thinking she just wanted some place to sit. I wasn’t a very smart kid and i was very used to be made fun of….so i kinda feelnless bad about it…..but still bad

    Realized what happened the day after. Messaged her on FB to try and save anything that could be saved. We texted for like 15/20 messages….then never ever heard or seen her again

    When I was in highschool this girl with really big boobs sat next to me in biology class. One day at the end of class we were waiting for the bell and I glance over and see her putting on cherry lip gloss.

    I say “Oh hey, is that stuff flavored?”

    And she grins real.big.and leans towards me and says “Sure is, do you want to taste it?’

    and I say “sure!” And grab the lip gloss out of her hand and lick it.

    Two years later we hooked up a few times and she made fun of me about it relentlessly.

    I saw her in a freid chicken place a few years ago with a gaggle of kids, so I guess she turned out okay. She’s still got really big boobs.

    We were hanging out at this make-out spot. She used to do teen pagents and I asked her how they kept their swimsuits so tight. She pulled her pants down and had on this sexy ass thong and she explained how they would spray this sticky stuff on their ass and it would hold the swimsuit in place. She was mimicking spraying her ass while also showing me her ass. I said cool and took her back to the party we left. I saw her making out with another guy later that night.

    Oh boy buckle up.

    The year is 2007, the Iraq war showed there were no weapons of mass destruction, you could get a home loan from Washington Mutual even if you haven’t worked since Y2K, and Rihanna all allowed us to stand under her umbrella

    It’s my senior year of high school and my part time coworker at wetzels pretzels and I ran into each other because we took the SATs in the same location that day. She invited me over to her house that night to watch a movie.

    I got to her place at about 8 that night and she lived in a huge house. She opened the door in a tank top and yoga pants. This was 2007. Yoga pants were gods gift to men and women. She let me know that her entire family, including her seven siblings, were on vacation but she stayed behind because of the SATs

    So it was the two of us in a giant house for 9 people. She invited me to her room so she could change. I closed my eyes because I was a stand up guy. She changed from yoga pants to soffe shorts and into a sports bra

    She then said we should watch the movie in her attic because “no one would care if we make a mess”

    So we watched the movie and watched. We kept watching. Then the movie ended and she asked if I wanted to stay the night because she was lonely and tired.

    Halo 3 came out a week before and I wanted to get on Xbox live and chat with the boys, so I went home to play halo 3.

    We never hung out one on one ever again

    She’s married to a guy and they have two beautiful kids, and my wife and I are doing great with an amazing daughter. We once ran into each other at Trader Joe’s in 2022

    In high school on of my friends would take me up to her room and lock the door and I would just hang out for an hour and then say ‘gotta go’ and leave. This went on for a couple of months – realized many years later.

    Went to go hang out while she was babysitting. Kid was already in bed and asleep. She puts on a movie, one of those dance competition romances. Ask if we can cuddle. Sure. Asks if we can turn the lights off. Sure. Starts talking about how she orders her underwear from the Vic Secret catalogue. Gets up to show me how lacy the panties are by dropping the side of her pants a little. “I can’t see, you turned the lights off.”

    Her fiance (she has a fiance??) got back from deployment a couple days later and they had an accident that apparently the entire neighborhood assumed was mine. I can understand why.

    A high school batchmate was eagerly chatting me when I was in med school. Even suggested we should hang out sometime. But academic load was heavy, I didn’t realized she might be interested in me and all I thought of was she is friendly. Fast forward, I realized the hint/s and tried to make my move, but to no avail. I think she’s happy being single up until this point. Meanwhile, for 4 years I’ve been with the sweetest girl in the world. I think we’re both happy in our own lives, but upon seeing this post, I suddenly realized what could have been hehe.

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…

    I was a young pup fresh out of Basic and AIT (secondary school in the Army where you learn your job) and I wound up at my first duty station. The person that’s supposed to be training me is a couple of years older and a breathtakingly beautiful blonde with a huge rack.

    She did everything she could… she’d say something to get my attention, I turn around in my chair and there’s her massive tits in my face.

    She came to my room (barracks) to ask me to help her move her wall locker so I go down there in a couple of minutes to find her in a teddy-bear (lingerie) with side-ties keeping it closed… she smashed her tits against my hands while I was pushing her wall locker, which I apologized for.

    I didn’t get it for years.

    Chatting to a woman at a pub, having a lovely old time. Things are going well. Beers are doing their thing to me. She says “I’m really tired I think I’d like to go home”, so I say, ok it was really nice to meet you, have a good sleep.
    She stormed off and was gone before I realised what I’d done.. 😅

    Oh brother its a long list

    -a girl from my younger brother’s grade used to like me, she used to tease me and would send her friends to get info on me like what music i like and such . I did catch up but she was in 6th grade and i was in 9-10th grade i believe I ain’t pedo so never made a move or reciprocated

    -I was travelling in long distance with my family ,this girl was sitting in front seat of me ,we both felt attraction/tension but i again never made a move reason being some paramilitary officers were in seat / cabin next to us so if i had made a move and she felt uncomfortable i would have kissed my ass goodbye .Anyways night comes by and around 2 am I wanted to go to washroom i woke up and saw that girl sitting straight up and staring at me whole time. I didn’t went to bathroom and just prayed to god that don’t wet the bed . Coming morning only two us are awake and we began talking ,to remain in contact she just my snatched my mother’s phone that i was using (I was 15 at the time in 10th grade didn’t had my own personal phone plus it was 2019)
    logged in to her facebook account searched me up and sent me request and then made me /offered me light snack and both of our families played board games after they woke up . I couldn’t accept her request and when I did she went full in “YOU DONT WANT TO TALK TO ME” etc . It could have been a long distance relationship but it went off in talking stage either due to my bad texting skill or like she had told me her parents would beat/scold if they found her on social media. She deleted her account

    – In 11th grade my friend played a prank on and just straight up went to a cute girl he knew and told her that i liked her (this wasn’t the case but she was really pretty tho) this girl would follow me everywhere ,would wait outside my bus in school, would come to see me play football during lunchtime i thought all of this was prank until one day her 5-6 classmates dragged me out my class and threatened to break my leg if i didn’t talk to her (they came with Cane and stick so… ) so I had to talk to her and explain her that I was focused on my studies rn and can’t come in relationship . She was quick to understand that (another reason to reject her was because my crush and her bestfriend would come up to me and would tell me that she isn’t a good girl for you). Years later i asked my very same friend whether she truly liked me or it was just a cruel prank he said nope she did truly like me.

    – Last year while coming back from hospital i ran into my crush and her bestfriend and we began talking they straight up told me that they knew I liked her and when I asked who they used to like they took my name ,it turns out my crush had decided to ask me out in 10th but couldn’t because she (in her own words) was a mess at the time and also her bestfriend also used to like me so if I had said yes to any one of them their friendship would have been destroyed . They are still bestfriends to this day . They asked for my number and that’s it

    TLDR; I fumbled the bag bro like always

    I declined, explaining that I didn’t want to be up late and went home. Yes, literally like George Constanza.

    Oh man. So way back in community college, I came into one of my first classes and saw a girl across the room that was insanely beautiful to me. I actually jokingly thought about sitting closer to her next time and asking her to be partners on a project. The next day, when I come in, she’s actually sitting next to where I sat! Throughout the semester, she did things that looking back, might have been her being playfully flirtatious. One thing was when we got to a part in the book about addictive personalities, she pointed to it and said “that’s what you are.” I was a complete insecure moron though. I still will never forget the look of disappointment she gave me when I just handed in my final exam and….left.

    All is well though. Happily married now.

    She had been a friend for a few years. She grabbed my crank twice in quick succession and made the clown nose honk noise. I found it hilarious at the time and never realized it til several years later when she mentioned it. I tried to explain it like, bro, we’d been friends for so long I never thought of it as being sexual in nature and we were just making each other laugh as usual. There’s other situations which were stupidly obvious with different people but I’d rather not relive them when I gotta sleep soon.

    In college, I was chatting with a girl at a house party, at some point in the conversation she goes, “it’s kind of loud, would you want to go to another room where it’s a little quieter.” And immediately I go “no that’s okay, I’m having fun here.” Turns out I probably could’ve had a lot more fun in the “quieter” room

    In 8th grade, I was good friends with a chick. One day on facebook, she posted:

    “❤️❤️❤️❤️todays #mcm is Gussy ✌️❤️ just because you always know how to make me smile 😊 and you’re a terrific person in every single way 😊 you’ve never given me a single reason not to trust you, you’re a trust worthy person 😂 you care about everyone ❤️ you always give me piggy back rides 😊 then you have the biggest smile after 💕💕 you say the funniest things and I love it more than you could imagine ❤️👌✌️ keep being you gussy because you’re freaking amaaaaazinggggg❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

    I liked it, saw her the next day and told her what a great friend she was. I didnt understand why she didnt want to talk to me for a few days after that. Looking back at it as an adult, I realize I picked up on hints about as well as a brick. Still just about as smart as one too.

    Had been talking with this guy for a couple days.

    In college we had a group presentation and I offered to host the prep at my apartment. It was myself, 2 dudes, and a very attractive Colombian lady. After we wrapped up everyone left. But shortly after she texted me, telling me she had a headache and asked if she could come back in. I obliged and offered her an aspirin. She refused, so I offered water. This was refused as well. She looked confused and disappointed and finally left. It wasn’t until thinking back on this years later that she was possibly looking for my company and I flubbed it up like a big ol goof.

    Ended up having to call HR and it turned out that I was at LEAST the fourth man who had reported her.

    That’s the short story.

    The long story is that I was working in tourism. It was a good job, most people were fairly extroverted and after staying cooped up for lockdown I was just happy to spend my days interacting with guests, customers and my many coworkers. One of those coworkers was a woman around my age named Jasmine.

    I was having the time of my life at work and was making many friends. To me Jasmine was just another. We would go out for drinks (like I did with other coworkers), go hiking (like I did with other coworkers/friends), get dinner, tell her about my dating triumphs and woes, etc. In no way did I think she was interested in me sexually, she never flirted with me.

    A few months in another coworker pulled me aside, “hey, would you mind putting aside some time after work? I need to talk to you about Jasmine.”

    I got pizza with my coworker but quickly lost my appetite when she showed me the texts Jasmine had been sending our coworker. Apparently not only did Jasmine have a massive crush on me but she thought I was LEADING HER ON!

    “what the hell?” I said “I’m treating her like everyone else at work.”

    Jasmine’s last message to our mutual coworker was that she was going to “teach me a lesson” and would refuse to speak to me for two weeks.

    (Side note that I found out via others: Jasmine was NOT nice to other people, this I did not know. To her just being friendly was flirting)

    If I hadn’t seen the texts I wouldn’t have understood what in the heck was going on. For the following two weeks at our job where we very much needed to speak with each other and coordinate she refused to talk to me.

    Two weeks go by and I’m in front of a group of 12 guests talking to them. In front of everyone Jasmine says “Komnenos, you’ve been so nervous lately… maybe you should masturbate more.”

    She giggles, gets a bit of side eye from our guests and then walks off. I talked to an older coworker who had been there longer and he told me to go IMMEDIATELY to HR.

    She started spreading rumors at work about how much I was flirting with her, sexting her and lusting for her. I reported this all to HR.

    I loved that job but she made it so deeply uncomfortable working there. Fortunately everyone seemed to side with me “I heard rumors that you’ve been stalking Jasmine but she’s lied about this on numerous times with other men at work” and she was getting repeated talkings to. However besides wagging their fingers at her HR did NOTHING. In fact they made her a manager of my department.

    Thankfully around that time I got the opportunity to move abroad and I took it. I feel sorry for whoever Jasmine started going after next.

    Idk, my friends tell me I fumbled because a girl sat next to me on the bus, I let her put her fingerprint in the thing to unlock it for some reason, she would open my friends snaps and reply to them, and also she played games on the phone too. And also when I moved to a different part of the bus to hang out with other friends she followed for some reason.

    I’m actually still unsure if that was a fumble or she was just a friend. I clearly didn’t think anything of it at the time though. I still don’t care much, but I guess if it was her trying to drop hints it means I’m not totally hopeless right?

    We were off to a conference in uni and she slept in my bed the night before we had to go. I didn’t make a move bc I just broken up with a girlfriend and a class mate was sleeping on the couch just outside the room. I wasn’t sure of her intentions and she made no indication she wanted to escalate. I was also a bit of a mess so I awkwardly slept next to her in my single bed uncomfortably.

    Same trip, the next night she kept asking me to crash with her at her friends couch and I ignored it instead staying at buddies place to catch up and sleep on an actual bed.

    The following night at the conference she told me she hasn’t had sex in a long time and needed to get fucked while we were drunk. I said okay let’s run to the bathroom and get at it, as a joke and she said yes. I wasn’t sure if she was joking so I stared at her confused trying to figure out if she was joking or not. So I brushed it off as a fake gesture as there was no possible way we could actually do that at this conference…. It was a networking event for students in industry after all. Later on she asked me to crash with her at her friends again and I opted to stay with my buddy bc I didn’t understand her fascination with me sleeping on a couch with her.

    Yeah, regretted it the next week when she started sleeping with a friend and eluded to me being dense. Great gal, we still chat here and there and she has kids now. I don’t regret it per se, I’m sure it would have changed many courses in my life had we been sleeping with each other.

    Many years ago I had a co-worker who at least in my mind was WAY out of my league in multiple ways. There were several instances where in retrospect I’m reasonably sure she was dropping hints but because I thought she was so far out of my league it never even remotely computed that she might’ve been interested in me.

    Neither of us dropped hints as such, but on our first date, I intended on going in for a cuddle, he misread and thought I was going to kiss him, so I went with it. Anywho, we’ve been very happily married three years now.

    At the end of the college, she told me that she had a crush on me

    There was this acquaintance I thought he was cute, but couldn’t possibly like me. I was looking at FB memories and saw all the times he had commented on my FB posts and realized he probably did. Several years later, he looked me up on LinkedIn; we are nowhere near the same field, so now I know he did.

    He sent me a screenshot of our texts so I could see an emoji because my phone wasn’t updated yet and there was a heart next to my contact name. Freaked out awkwardly when I showed a photo of myself which was super out of character for him. Said I love you everyday. Hand wrote me letters telling me how much I meant to him and that he couldn’t wait to live together and own cats and map out constellations on the window above our kitchen sink. And I had the biggest crush on him too!

    We’re dating now 🙂

    I was about 19, I think she was 18, we went to a movie, about 2/3 the way through, she laid down across my lap. I honestly don’t remember what happened immediately after that, but I remember driving her home, then we just sat in the car and talked in front of her parents’ house, and she eventually popped the question “are you a virgin?”

    My dumbass never even thought to evade the question, I just spit it out there, to which she responded “sorry, I don’t do virgins, and I don’t want to lead you on”.

    And that was the day I learned to keep my fucking mouth shut when the virgin question came up. I don’t think I ever heard from her again. Fortunately I don’t have to lie about it anymore, but it still sucks thinking back to that night because I really did like her.

    She joked that if she saw me now she’d kiss me, she said I’d send you nudes to prove i am not fat under these clothes haha,talked about how good i look and bla bla, she said I love you
    I said thank you everything and thought she was joking or being nice

    National geographic narrator : Years later,he finally understood..and came to a conclusion..she probably..wasn’t joking

    When I was 20, I had a sleepover with this friend I had a crush on. We were in bed together and at one point, she turned to face me. She started asking me super flirty questions and was almost hinting for us to kiss?

    I got shy/nervous and immediately pretended to fall asleep. She had a gf at the time, maybe it was all in my head

    smoking hot long time friend came over, we shared 1 joint, slept in my bed, woke up in the morning and said “so why haven’t we had sex yet”. i didn’t realize she was saying “hey dummy this is your chance”, so I gave a longwinded answer about friendship instead of one of the 300 million better responses I have thought of since then. she moved to germany.

    Before I got glasses. I was at a wallflower, nightclub watching a beautiful girl dance, while slowly waving her fingers at me. On the way home my mate says “she was beckoning you to come dance with her”

    The following conversation took place outside my regular bar on a late saturday night, between me and a brunette who had been dry humping me all night.

    Her: “My ass is cold. I’m only wearing a thong.”

    Me: “Stand up, then.”

    insert five minutes of random small talk here

    Her: “My friend’s getting off work now, and he’s gonna give me a ride home. Wanna come?”

    Me: “Nah. I’m hungry, I’m gonna go home and eat.”

    Her: “Come on. I’ll make you food.”

    Me: “It’s ok. I only live a couple of minutes from here.”

    Her: “Oh, come on.”

    cue a couple of minutes of back and forth before her friend comes along and she end up leaving

    So yeah, I literally managed to talk myself out of sex that night. How do I know? Because I met her the next weekend, and since she had apparently guessed that I was a dense idiot, she grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and kissed me, making sure I didn’t misunderstand this time. And yes, this time I did get the hint and followed her home.

    One of the rare occasions where I actually got the hint and didn’t have the proverbial penny drop a month later.

    I used to hang out in the park with my friend a lot. Only after like 2 years I learned that she saw it as dates…

    I was telling my wife about something that happened in highschool, and she asked how long I ended up dating the girl in the story.

    Me: “What?”

    Her: “…oh my god.”

    I wasn’t in college but most of my friends were and we routinely hung out as a group with various people because we all had different friends and this one girl one day must’ve got bored and asked if someone would come hang out at her place and I agreed. She drove and everything. I seriously thought she just wanted to hang out without 6-7 people around because honestly it was annoying to me. I was prepared to watch her DVDs or whatever and she was really cute too. I’m not a smart man

    We were about 13, she was my crush, and during a school camp I had snuck into the girls tent. She asked that if I was cold, I could join in her sleeping bag.
    “Nah that’s okay I’m actually sweating a bit!”

    Lost touch after school. Didn’t think about her again until I watched her become a world champion athlete and join the Olympics
