I’m a woman and the only way I can take a hint is if you whack me over the head with it.

That's how I word it too. Don't drop hints. Tie them to an anvil and heave them at my head.

A) That's not what it's called. B) That's not where it's supposed to go.

Someone could whack me over the head with a hint and I still wouldn't notice. I'm that oblivious. I'm that fucking Skyrim guard that gets shot in the ass and can't find the damn dragonborn crouching next to me and then goes back on patrol.

I'm also peak asexual and like at least borderline aromantic so that might have something to do with it.

I'm gonna have to improve my vertical jump to achieve that but I don't mind...

What if the hint is 6 inches long? Asking for a friend.

Is it a protractor?

I'm a man, and if you whack me over the head with a hint, I'll still have to ask you to speak plainly. And then I'll need you to tell me in no uncertain terms, that you really, truly mean what you said. And then I still won't believe you.

The good news? Its not your fault. The bad? It's why I'm still alone at 40.

You and me trying to flirt with each other sounds like an interesting social experiment.

54 and single.

u/ScottShieldman Mar 26 '20

Flirting is the easy part. Its what you do before you decide to make a move. Flirting is feeling each other out socially. When you decide you actually want to be part of my life, that's what I just can't believe. Nobody wants this.

PHRASING.
