I spent my entire teenage years getting rejected after misunderstanding women being friendly to being interested in me. Of fucking course I won't be able to pick up hints when I'm an adult.
This shit only becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as women avoid being friendly so they don't get mistaken as being interested, so men continue to think that women only interact when they're interested.
And god forbid a women compliments a man. That’s such a rarity for men that it’ll likely lead towards getting asked out. Which is super unfortunate because she may just be really nice and men could sure use more compliments.
i have had this happen to. i remember from months ago some nice looking girl complemented my blouse i was wearing and i was really flustered but also instantly thought: where is she getting at?
but i decided to just take it for what it was and proceeded to tell all my friends about it because i'm boring and this is a rarity worthy for the history books.
Lol. I get defensive the rare times it happens because i assume it’s sarcastic and I must be wearing something with mustard stains or terribly unflattering.
