Men can be so silly sometimes. It seems that no matter how many times we drop hints or flirt shamelessly, they just can't catch on for the life of them. Maybe it's insecurity or maybe it's just pure innocence, but either way, they miss the signals every single time. 

Listen, putting ourselves out there is tough as it is, so it would be nice if our efforts wouldn't go unnoticed. Speaking of which, today we're bringing you a hilarious Reddit thread where someone asked the men of Reddit to share stories about times when girls would give them THE most obvious hints and signals of interest but they completely ignored them. And the worst part about it all? None of these were intentionally ignored. Oh, men. 

So have a scroll for yourself and remember, next time you make a move at a guy and he doesn't reciprocate - it's probably not even about you.

    Font - rcowie 19 hr. ago My now wife gives me shit about this all the time so it's safe to share here. Back when we were dating, it was a cold winters night and she she texted that she was cold and if there was anything I could do to warm her up. I offered to plastic seal her windows. Yeah I totally missed that pitch.

    Font - Riddikulus_Muggle 14 min. ago lol. My now wife invited me over for dinner and hang out multiple times fairly late at night. She's a good cook, a better person, and clearly such a wonderful friend that she did not deserve to be hit on when she's just being nice. Took a phone call from one her friends to get my head out of my ass.

    LOL 

    Sometimes you just need a little nudge in the right direction to see what is clearly in front of you

She didn't understand what I said, and when I picked the cup up, it said "Diego", which isn't my name.. Later that night I was chatting with a cute 20- something girl in the bar and I retold that story, and she looked at me with sultry eyes,

    Font - her top slightly undone, and said something like "what would Diego do with me tonight that <your name> wouldn't" It caught me completely off guard, and I said something stupid in return. It was like being in the final minutes of the Super Bowl, being tossed the game winning ball, only to fumble it in the end zone on live TV. I've lived with that regret a long time haha. What could have been.

    Font - elmatador12 20 hr. ago I was just divorced and getting used to dating again. My game was very off as I hadn't dated in over a decade. After like my second or third after the divorce she texted me "I just played with myself the whole drive home thinking of you." My response? "Sounds like fun! Good night!" We did not go on another date.

    Font - Luder714 20 hr. ago F My time to shine! ● I was in college in the early 90's and sitting in my dorm room alone. I was high as hell The hot girl down the hall that I had a crush on and spoke to occasionally came to my room and asked if I would watch her dance routine that was her final for her dance class. I was like "sure" and went to her room.

    Font - The room was dark except for some red lighting. I sat on the couch and she put on Enigma. This was a VERY clear sign that I missed completely.

    Font - She began her dance. She was in a unitard and I was totally hot for this girl. She did what I would now consider a personal lap dance for me. I was petrified with lust over the whole thing.

    Font - When the song was over she came over to me, about 2 inches from my face sexy smiling and said, "How was that?" I looked at her and said, "that was really cool, you'll do great." and left. I. LEFT. I walked back to my room and left....

    Font - YEARS later I was driving my car to work, just daydreaming, like you do, and that memory popped up. I would have kicked myself had I been able to.

    Font - uncultured_swine2099 20 hr. ago In high school a gorgeous girl sent me anonymous love letters. I later found out she was the one sending them. She also asked me out to this dinner banquet thing. We went, but i was so shy i barely said anything. She still sent me letters afterwards.

    Font - I had really low self esteem, and made every excuse to myself that she wasnt into me. It was like she was holding up a neon sign thay she likes me and i didnt do anything about it.

    Font - Back2Bach 21 hr. ago · edited 21 hr. ago As I played the organ, she would turn pages for me and brush her body against my back while moving from right to left behind the organ bench to grab the next page. I thought she was rubbing me due to tight quarters between my organ and the choir loft railing.

    Font - The68Guns edited 3 min. ago 20 hr. ago. Back in '84, I was working at this cool department store and this was this shy girl I'd chat it up with. I talk to anyone, so it was no big deal on my end. I was also a movie nut, so I'd say "Hey, have you seen this or that?" and she'd give me an exasperated look and say "No. No I haven't I need someone to go with." I'd be like "Ah, well, it's a good one." We've been married for 33 years.

    Font - spunkjug 21 hr. ago She literally followed me to my car every day for weeks. (I just thought the front desk lady was nice) Was down on myself from a recent divorce and had started a new job and didn't think her being nice to me was anything more than that.
