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!
In this case from the context it’s pretty clear they were likely sending signals.
Are you reading anything beyond what you want to read?
My guy.
He’s literally the person complaining about it. So my advice was to ask.
“But it shouldn’t be always on the men to—!”
YEAH OKAY SURE but in this situation, if you really wanna know, just ask!
My GURL
They explained to you why that doesn’t work.
Nah, in this case, women shouldn’t be so damn coy and think that they are being desirable.
It works. The problem is that this doesn’t work with women/humans that play games.
And at that point you should ask yourself is that a person you want in your life.
If I ask someone and get rejected in a rude way I’m hurt, of course, but at the same time I’m happy because I dodged a cunt.
And if you ask and get a positive response the whole thing starts on a great note.
So depending on your perspective it is a win-win situation.
