Girls, what are some of the most obvious signs or hints you've given to a guy you liked that he was totally or seemingly oblivious to?

This old reddit thread is pure gold.

My three favorites stories from that thread:

1 He had been keen on this one girl who had been flirting with him for weeks, and as we all lived on res at Uni, they were always bumping into one another. Anyway, after a function we all get home very drunk and he receives a text from her complaining that she is incredibly horny and upset because the batteries in her vibrator have run out and wanted to know if he could help her.
So being the genius that he is, he takes two AA batteries out of his XBOX controller, walks to her dorm, slips them under the door and yells out "you're welcome."

2 This happened to me. I saw a girl in a drug store and thought she was gorgeous. A female friend convinced me to walk up to her and just flat out say that I thought she was beautiful, so I did. I even prefaced it with the whole, "I wouldn't ever normally do this, but I saw you and my friend over there convinced me just to come tell you how gorgeous I think you are." I completely expected a polite, "Thank you," and then for a girl who felt flattered to walk away smiling. Instead, she asked me my name, I told her, and she told me hers. I was unprepared for any of this, and extremely nervous, so then she asks me, "So, do you have any plans this weekend?" Me: "Nope, not really, what about you?" Her: "No, nothing at all." :) Me: "Uhh, okay, well, it was really nice to meet you! I just wanted to tell you that. I have to get back to work now."

3 In high school my cousin was offered a ride home from a cute girl that he liked. He was confused when she passed his house, but he didn't say anything. She drove for a bit and pulled into an empty, secluded par

secluded parking lot. Then she looked over at him and said something along the lines of, "Now that we're stopped here, is there anything you wanna do?" He thought for a second and then said, "Yeah, I don't think my door's shut all the way." So he opened his door and re-shut it. The girl gave him a weird look and just drove him home. He said he literally walked into his room, sat down on his bed, and then let out a big, "... OHHHH!"

  • Tbh the only way it will occur to me that someone likes me is if she straight up says it to me

    • That's the same for me also, mostly because I find it hard to believe a woman would like me. So if there are all these hints and things I tend to just overlook them and think it's just me being delusional and wanting to think that the woman likes me.

  • I mean I've been like the other guys here, we're TOTALLY Clueless to girls, especially when they think we should catch the hint when their being nice, like laughing at a joke, or twirling their hair. (How on earth are we supposed to be able to tell you like us?) but then there are times I can be TOTALLY oblivious at my own fault, for example I once had a girl text me in the middle of a group chat that I could measure her boobs with my hands if i wanted, and I had NO clue she likes me until other girls in the chat started texting me saying she did. But (while that was straightforward) the only time I EVER caught on that a girl liked me was when she came up to me and just said "in case you can't tell, I think you're very attractive." And the only thing I could think was FINALLY A STRAIGHT UP PERSON

  • I asked him to sadies (girls choice dance) and at the end of the night he walked me to my door and I leaned in and so did he. The only thing was I went for a kiss and he went for a hug. he must have talked about it with his friends because he texted me then next day asking me about my "intentions" 😂

  • What I've learned is women have bought in too much to the myth that all men want sex anytime whenever they can get it. I get so many blatant attempts thrown at me all the time and move on like nothing happened at all. I've learned girls handle my seeming obliviousness far better than blatant rejection. Guy number one sounds like he knew what she meant. Guy number two was just a nervous wreck. And guy three's just an idiot lol. But I'm sure I've caused some funny stories about my obliviousness. I'd rather be laugh about my stupidity than be hurt by the truth.

  • In the name of all guys: stop with the hints! No guy understand when a woman hint him that she likes him. Just tell the guys what you think

  • Signs are literally the dumbest thing on the planet, no offense to girls, but guys are way too straightforward for that. If you twirl your hair, how in the world are we supposed to know if you're interested in us? You might just be bored and your mind is finding something to play with to keep you entertained.

    If you're interested, just tell us. Girls want us to be straightforward with them. Well we want the same back.

    A girl who plays games, who gives signs, who isn't straightforward, is literally one of the most unattractive things on the planet.

    • The last line seems a little harsh. I can understand the playing games part, that's annoying. But a lot of girls including me are too shy or fearful to be straightforward, as many guys are. For many, even giving some signs is scary enough to do.. Cut us a little slack!

    • @imclueless From my perspective, girls literally have nothing to be shy about. The majority of times it's men chasing women, not women chasing men. So due to that already, you have a leg up on us. Men want women to approach them. They want women to show interest in them, because men will be quick to show interest back. Knowing that the part of 'getting her to find you interesting' is already eliminated since you were the first one to initiate and show that you are already interested.

    • Yes, but even knowing all that, many of us are still afraid of rejection. It's definitely not guaranteed that every guy we're interested in feels the same way! I was scarred when I was really young, like 12 years old, when I was rejected twice when I told the guys I liked that I liked them. In one of those instances, I was cyber bullied by the guy's friend. He called me an ugly bitch, said his friend was way too good for me, etc. So it's kinda been engrained in me that I'll be humiliated if the guy I like finds out.

  • Dick in a box

  • I'm having a hard time believing the second one. Well I mean I believe it but that guy must have been incredibly lucky. He just goes up to the girl and tells her she's pretty, and automatically she's interested? I thought it only happens like that in the movies. Any guy who interacts with women a lot knows that you don't immediately get a date just by going up to the girl and confessing your attraction. Unless the guy had like model looks and the girl was really just a plain jane who just happened to appeal to his personal tastes. I'm gonna to have to ask a few female friends about that one.

    • Please do it and report back! ^^ There was another guy in that thread who said the same happened to him. Some girls like to reward straightforwardness.

    • I'm not familiar with the idea of girls "rewarding" guys in that sense. If she agrees to go out with him, i'ts because she likes him, not to reward him. You don't just like someone just because THEY find YOU attractive. But yeah, I sometimes forget that girls are just as horny as guys.

    • nothing to say huh?

    • Show All
  • I'm pretty straight up.

    • Lucky them.

    • You just might be right😉
