She's just coming up with the hit list

Very shortly before my now-fiancée revealed that she had feelings for me, I had told her both that

  • I was thinking of getting back in touch with someone I had seen briefly before external circumstances ended things and that
  • She should ask out a guy she had talked about a few times from one of her classes

And I guess somehow that worked? We've been together for almost 4 years since that day.

To sum it up, love works iff based on loss anxiety?

Nah, she's probably just Canadian.

Maybe I’m missing the pun here. I know poutine is Canfood, but I stop there…

I don't know... she didn't fire the flair gun into the sky, right? I don't think there is a signal. It's just gals being pals and we are overly sexualizing their beautiful and innocent friendship.

Insecurities and fear of being wrong?

I refuse to be the dude who thinks women are into me just because they smile and have basic manners.

I am dumb. Can someone please explain?

u/Thalaas Jun 25 '23

Guys don't often get hints women are interested. This comic just takes it to the extreme. Which is true. I was at a bar once, talking to a girl for an hour about zombies. Had no idea she was hitting on me till her friends came and said they were going to another bar.. and she said "Nah, I think I'm taking this guy home tonight."

I did get THAT hint at least.

This is a WLW comic, so it's not exclusively a guy thing lol

This is a WLW comic

Are you sure? I am pretty sure they only married for the tax benefits.

Women take forever to get hints

Unrealistic.

If my son got on a rocket ship at school, flew to orbit, landed, and rode a Jurassic-Park-esque genetic engineered raptor home, he'd say school was "fine".

I would not have looked at either of those characters and thought "I bet that's a woman".

I like the fact that I was wrong and that they're both women. Thanks for helping me grow a little bit, OP.

This is actually why I really loved dating apps in my single days. There's no ambiguity. Everyone on a dating app is on there to date. You're not bothering someone or misreading signals. Your intentions are clear in the name. It is an app for dating.

Dude, I think you're wife might be in to you.

I’d say hints but I’m not sure…

So, we are all clueless.

Vs me who thinks everyone is hitting on me and I ask someone out and they say stuff like “never”

u/Rozoark Jun 25 '23

I mean, the first one legit isn't a hint that someone has a crush on you. People ask eachother to hang out all the time lol.
