God forbid that you actually openly communicate with a woman!
It’s painfully obvious that the Lemmy population is primarily men. Frustrating. edit: to save my sanity, I choose believe that the majority of comments here are trolling. Y’all cannot genuinely be this dense. I wanted to talk with other women about this to get more clarity and it turns into…this. Damn.
Looking for signs and not seeing them and then being told we missed signs that were indistinguishable from being polite is just part of being a man. So is being told off because you read signs that previous women said were their signs, but weren’t for someone else.
The best skill a man can have is being able to ask if there is a slight chance while being ready to casually accept rejection, because hints are so inconsistent from person to person and men are expected to initiate.
It’s 2024 you can tell a man you like them.
Why can’t you ask yourself?
Holy shit
The dude wants to know if a woman likes him! If he wants to know, HE SHOULD ASK!
The woman may not even realize that he has any romantic interest!
You do you realize that this is exactly the same issue for the man, right? Literally: The man may not even realize that she has any romantic interest.
The secondary problem is that if the man thinks the answer might be yes, and chooses to act on that, he is far more likely to be treated as a harasser if he’s wrong.
The man may not even realize that she has any romantic interest
Then she should speak up and vice versa.
It’s not that deep.
