As a girl I would've missed some of these too. Thankfully guys usually don't bother with subtleness.

8th grade, he let me borrow his gameboy every single day at school, then we didn't speak for 10 years. Now were living together. Lifes funny
Lionskull
#13, he fucking solved that problem. He provided HEAT for the cold girl. must have felt so good about it too.
hannibal1barca
#12 is prob because he got a boner...
vvonneguts
I just drunkenly threw bottle caps at my current boyfriend before we dated. It apparently worked but it took some years.
DoctorSniffles
Just say what you mean damnit!
FoxyEllie
We think it. Then the thought becomes "nah, couldn't possibly." We always err on the side of caution. With that in mind, just say it!
SmolTenk
I have been literally asked by a girl if I want to come upstairs for a cup of coffee... It took me years to realize.
TheZompocalypse
Tbf that bear story would have ended with someone looking for him, finding him at his moment of climax, startling him into turning...
TheZompocalypse
...and blasting rope right onto the bear head, prompting his mom who happened to show up just after to say "aw Joey no, not Mr. Bear's head"
adamlstf9
#8 she literally told him to leave. How is that an invitation?
ThrowAwayAcct0000
She's saying he SHOULD leave. Not that he has to. If you want to stay, you can. This is when you say, "Yeah, I should," but kiss her more.
captaingrump
I don't know if other guys feel this way, but aside from being very dense, I'm also terrified of being accused of sexual harassment.
ajpimpsalll
Right?! Nearly any move a guy would make at the end of this story could come off "creepy". E.g. #2 "want me to come over?" "Ew, no, why?!!"
kittykat25909
"THE CHILDERN NEED ME!!!" all I can imagine is the look on the girls face standing in her dark room alone.
shitduke
probably thinking "he is literally the perfect man"
Pulseless
Clearly demonstrates paternal worth, I'd be thinking about having his kids and I'm a straight dude. I think.
umade
I mean, the one where she asks if he wants to play games with a girl. Only self confident dudes would bite on that one.
JPBStory
Sometimes, that's the whole point: if the guy isn't self-confident, she's not interested. Think of it as a filter or maybe a test.
Galvanax
I would ask what she had in mind that way self confidence doesn't have to be an issue
umade
That'd be the safe move.

Perks of being ugly. No chance of missing a hint because none in the first place.
TopCommenter
Or, there are more than you think and your self image gets in the way.
ultimate0
I wish.
gambosa
women just need to say "fuck me" and get nude for me to get the hint
drenix
I could be doing the 68 with a girl and I still wouldnt take the hint
magoslich
but what could she mean by that?
Alighierian
I'd look around for a hidden camera
the12thletter
Nah, it's a trap. They're just trying to set you up for mockery. "Did you really believe I'd want to have sex with YOU? Ha!"
lastusernameavailable
Been there... watching a movie at a girl's house after a date. We were laying on the sofa together when I yawned.
lastusernameavailable
She asked if I was tired and wanted to go lay in bed, and that I could stay over. (2/2)
lastusernameavailable
(3/3) I replied I was staying at my parents and they were expecting me home.
Oblivious12
See I had that happen. Except I accepted the invitation. We dated for three months after that.
lastusernameavailable
You are smarter than me.

"THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!"
reverendleonard
1st year of college, traveled for a football game. Girl offers room with a futon. Says she's cold, lays next to me. I pull up a blanket. Ugh
kralcniloc
In defense of men. We are oblivious to hints but also are worried about consent so our brains need clarity in this regard
optimisticredshirt
A boy spun my chair around to him at a bonfire saying “I’m sick of looking at the back of your head”... I said : “maybe another time, then”
optimisticredshirt
I think me flipping his dominant move on itself wasn’t v attractive to him. Meh. I thought I was clever.
somecleverassname
That’s the kind of shit that would happen to me if I weren’t unattractive and awkward as shit.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I used to act like I didn't get hints so that I wouldn't have to turn a guy down.
burnertotrace
No opportunities so nothing to miss.
JoeGrunt
Or it has happened to you multiple times, and you still haven't clued in.
suiseiseki
Depends on if you can make them laugh. Doesn't matter if you have a face like a foot if they're laughing they're into you.
DimensionMaster
I dunno about unattractive but definitely awkward and not in shape. At least a dozen opportunities from hot chicks right over my head.
DimensionMaster
I had one where it was two women in bed and they told me to get in but take off my pants. Feeling clever for my forethought, 1/2
DimensionMaster
I mentioned how I had rolled up the cuffs and didn't get any mud on them, so kept them on, hopped in bed, went to sleep. 2/2
MunkyBoi
Girl once asked me to help her with a breast exam to make sure she didn't have any lumps. I suggested she make a Dr's appt.
IamJustinSane
Been there, did it; gave her nipple a gentle tweak, got yelled at and hit. Turns out, she really did just want a second opinion on the exam.
Schmuck4hire
... hm. If that was her flirting, it's a seriously awkward way to go about it.
Lierofox
This hasn't happened to me very many times because I'm introverted and never go anywhere, but the times it has happened...god DAMN they mad.
Lierofox
(To clarify though I'm so introverted that I have no interest in relationships, if someone were to ask I'd give them a straight up no.)
Fal1enKing
Hey, you wanna go out sometime? I think you're really cute.

Too direct! Awww you scared them away..
SalsaCat
2 hours since you asked, I think you got ghosted.
ElbowDeepInMythicalCreatures
They got blacked. Ghosts at least stick around.
HxCNative
What's your definition of getting Blacked? Cause I think mine's different.
SanderTheStrange
Any more posts like this? I love seeing that there are people more helpless than me.
releasethezacken
That comment earned my upvote
Reelthreat
Tekken was a pretty good game at the time
TheMuteDoge
Paul phoenix in 3 was a good laugh lol.
ratfinkfuck
So what I'm seeing here is a series of failures to communicate
JPBStory
#13 "I was trying to find a way to get him to make a move." Yeah, there's your problem. Make a damn move yourself!
thebrownknightrises
TBH, #12, I think that what the girl did was correct. The guy probably cannonballed into the pool to hide his excitement haha
2graves
A classic move
mulligylan
not to mention, its pool time!
madknitterlady
"What we've got here is failure to communicate."
AllTheUserNamesAreAlreadyTaken
"Some men, you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week."
Ryanator50
yeah maybe if people didn't call forward girls sluts they wouldn't have to beat around the bush.
SynonymouslyAnonymous
Did you too your fedora while typing that or is it only in actual conversations that's required?
Ryanator50
naw I'm just saying that women can be afraid to be forward because when they do, they get called sluts.
ratfinkfuck
Did you mistype or am I just dyslexic? Serious question
ratfinkfuck
and what on earth is wrong with being a slut now?
Ryanator50
well, my definition of slut is a girl that cheats, but others think it's just a woman who has lots of sex.
Bob8372
To be fair, there is a pretty big difference between “You’re hot, let’s go on a date” and “You’re hot, let’s f***”
dawnzoom
And there’s another big difference between “you’re hot, let’s fuck” and being an actual slut
Frogapus
Shit like this is why I flat out tell guys when I want to fuck them. It saves SO much on weird mental gymnastics.
IamJustinSane
Well god bless you, and yes, it’s probably the lady dick that’s the problem.
Oblivious12
It's only a problem if it's bigger than mine.
Frogapus
What a coincidence! Size shaming is one of my kinks.
Frogapus
That said, I still rarely get laid, so it might be a bad approach. Or it might be the ladydick.
shitduke
Ladydick is the OPPOSITE of a problem!
Frogapus
Gurablashta
hot.
derpydolphin
Met a girl on tinder who asked what I like to do. I told her I love smash and she said she does too. We got into a debate about who would1/?
derpydolphin
Win if we played. So on our first date I brought a GameCube, two controllers, and melee. She seemed really surprised. I 4 stocked her 2/?
derpydolphin
In every match because I was a tournament smash player for a long time. I'll never forget the look of disappointment she had after 3/?
derpydolphin
We had done that for 3 hours. I thought it was because she lost after saying she was good. She messaged me later and said don't come back.
sakm
Nah, that one's 100% on her. There was no miscommunication. If she wanted something else, she shouldn't have thrown the gauntlet.
n3ckr0mantic
Reading all these "trying to get him to make a move" stories are kibd of frustrating. Make your own move ladies, ask him out.
FearTheBeans
Agreed. My ex asked me out after playing handsy with her during a movie with friends.
beccahhh
That’s what I did! It worked.
DapperLordDestral
I literally had someone stalk + scare off other women because they were too wimpy to just say 'hello'. good god just make an actual move
Astr0spaceCat
As a woman... YAAAAS! But I think it stems from a bajillion years of being indoctrinated that to want/initiate/enjoy sex makes you a whore.
alottabees
My gf had to straight up say to me “hey ask me out”. If she didn’t I’d still be single
rosiethereaver
They did make a move, though. It just went over their heads.
JPBStory
I can imagine being that guy though "Damn, she's hot...I don't want to be caught staring like a creep, better distract myself. CANNONBALL!"
rosiethereaver
Oh yeah, I would have done that as well. That one was a bit of an exception.
AlecIkiiki
Asked my now husband out back in Nov '04 via e-mail, asked him to marry me in Feb '14, took care of everything at the courthouse that week.
n3ckr0mantic
You'll make his day/month/year/life
ImAFoxButNotReally
I used to chat with a friend. I didn't know if she was into me. She invited herself home (she lived far and was late). She is my wife now.
attofreak
A girl kind of asked me out in highschool once. She said, "come on attofreak, take me to the canteen and get me something." I thought >
attofreak
it was some elaborate friendly prank, and declined awkwardly. I also didnt get pocket money, brought lunch from home.
mooglerae
I have and he still hasn't realized it. I decided to move on.
1stw0rldissues
Wut. You straight up asked "Go on a date with me?" or "Please fuck me?" and no response?
mooglerae
I thought "Do you want to go to this concert with me" and "Would you like to go get coffee" were pretty straight forward, but I guess not.
1stw0rldissues
Too vague imo if you already know eachother. I've friendzoned a girl by misstake that was equally vague, never saw the signs :/
mooglerae
I've been publicly ridiculed for being more blunt, so I tend to be more shy as a result.
RayMar1
Havent realized you asked him out? Did you do it in another language?
mooglerae
You would think. I am really shy, so I had to work up the courage to ask him to go to a concert with me. He said he didn't like the band (1)
mooglerae
but that his friends might be interested. I gave him mu number in hopes that he might wise up, but no. Later I asked him out for coffee (2)
mooglerae
and he said he might be able to go and never said anything after that. Later he told me he thought I was cute but never pursed me. I am (3)
FranticCosmonaut
Have you tried being direct? "Hey fuckface, take me home with you!" Usually gets the message across.
mooglerae
Ha! I'm really shy around guys I like, sadly.
FranticCosmonaut
The worst that can happen is he says "No." At least you can say you tried and you'll have more experience for next time.
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
My current gf of 5 years said no to me my first time asking her. A year later she started dropping "hints" that maybe she'd say yes if I 1/2
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
asked again. I dropped a hint that if she wanted to go out, she should ask, cuz I respected her initial "no". The truth is that it's 2/3
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
often a power thing. If you ask them out, theyre LETTING you date then, rather than making themself vulnerable by asking you to let them.3/3
manchot
I did once, he said he wasn't interested. Few weeks later he wanted to go on a date but didn't dare to ask... Come on dudes!
manchot
He is now my boyfriend for 4 years and I still make fun of him for it
Cruxador
It's hard to just get into the mindset of considering someone right away if they weren't really on your radar in that way.
manchot
Yeah I understand. It was just a funny story. :) when hé asked me for a drink, I thought it was as friends since he rejected me earlier.
manchot
The first kiss on that date was a surprise for me haha
theIdris
Done it. Completely rejected every time, haha!
DaDisser
Happens and it sucks, but its the only way to never have to worry about the "what ifs"
theIdris
For sure. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)
RayMar1
Dont worry about rejection, this doesn’t reflect on you as a person. Can’t be everyone’s cup of tea
theIdris
Oh yeah, totally! I wanna be with a guy who wants to be with me too. I'd rather know from the onset. It hurts at first, but I get it. :)
RayMar1
Luckily as a teen I realized that rejection hurts less than regret of not trying. Plus more u approach the better u get at it.
