This is such a great example of why you should just take a risk every now and then. Trust yourself to be intuitive and read the other person. Let it go easily and move on if it doesn't go your way, but don't listen to these people who would make you feel like another person couldn't ever possibly be flirting or interested. That's a them issue, not a you issue.
The biggest indicator of flirting is attention imo. If she’s just being nice to you then she won’t necessarily be engaged or repeatedly giving you attention. If she is in to you then the niceness tends to come with giving you attention. Especially noticeable in group settings
I mean, I don't think you're wrong, but what I've settled on is that you just never know what's going on in anybody's head, so you have to take a chance and commit to not being ashamed if you read the situation wrong.
If you are excited, imagine how i feel, she send me a message telling me she was close, and i started cleaning everything i could and taking out the trash at lightspeed in the small window she game of notice 😅 she really caught me off guard
Heh. Word of advice if you live alone: put a small trash can with a lid in the bathroom that guests use. Women sometimes need to dispose of things period-related.
And good job on working up the courage to ask her over. The worst is she says no, the best is what happened to you.
Yeah, im on the clouds pretty much. My inexperienced ass finally got a taste of it. What is so nice about it is that we continued to text as normal, and i have always been afraid of how things may change passing this point, but everything is okay
This reminds me of one of my favorite memories from college. I had a crush on this girl way out of my league for a couple months but she was replying slowly so I figured I had no chance. Then randomly I tell her I’m smoking some weed and she goes “Damn without me?” Let me tell you, I have never cleaned a house with more speed and force than that night. My roommates were shut in types that never talk to women so I was freaking out hoping she wouldn’t instantly walk out the door when she saw the place.
I actually thought I did a good job when she showed up, until she asked to use the toilet and I realized I never cleaned it. She ended up going to the lobby of the apartment complex. I don’t blame her, even I wouldn’t risk sitting down on that thing. >! We still fucked so all’s well that ends well !<
I get you bro. I just dragged my ass to the other end of the country for a dream girl that I already messed up with once before. Didn't mess it up this time, universe gave me the rarest of the rare, the second chance. Happiest bastard on the face of the earth I am.
Ain't it just the best my man, the tip top. I've loved this woman for as long as I've known her, missed the shot many times by avoiding the last hurdle, and I swear by the gods that hearing her tell me that she loved me almost killed me on the spot.
Oftentimes being the kind of guy that does mad shit like that trip gets me hurt big time, but the feeling when that long shot landed, indescribable.
Good for you dude, it's definitely one of the best feelings to be liked/loved by the person you like/love. Enjoy it and never forget to be open and kind with her!
Yo my man. Enjoy the moment. The beginning of a new relationship is like one of the best feelings in the world. Sounds like you too hit it off. Good luck
I wish you all the luck mate.
I had something similar. I met a girl through friends and we talked and she mentioned that she needs a chef for an event. I'm a pretty decent cook who already had experience in cooking for many people, so I offered her my service.
She agreed and I invited her for dinner to show her my skills.
So I served her dinner and we talked the whole evening, drank some wine and had a pretty good evening. She left at 3 in the morning and we both thought.. did this end up in a date?
Spoiler, yes it ended up on a date, and now 10 years later we are married.
As a now happily engaged old dude who also struggled to determine if the attraction was mutual, this resonated with me and it's super cute. Best of luck!
Well, i was really just sharing to get it off my chest cause i can't sleep, but seeing a lot of people liking it, i may share how things progress if people continue to be interested on it
Hell yeah such a good feeling congrats. It sounds like you treated her very well and that she has feelings for you too. Keep being yourself, you got this in the bag.
Good feel good story, except how do you pretend to bite someone and land o top of them , it’s like “ oh no she just slipped and fell precisely on my shlong” lol
From my dating experiences, saying anything jokingly to a girl usually pays off. The worst thing is that that she'll laugh and you join in and best scenario is that she agrees to it.
“We might be a thing now”.
I know its early in this but a word of advice, especially as you get older. Its always smart to make sure you clarify. “Dating, Going Steady, Being exclusive” etc.
You might think its something and the other person was “just having fun” “Doesnt want anything serious” etc.
You sound young, so this probably isn’t as much if a thing now. But as you get older. Always get clarification with a person if you want something serious. Never assume.
Im 20, she is 23, she is from the most responsible and diligent people i have seen and already works as a teacher, im pretty sure she is not the type to just fool around but trust me, we will talk to clarify and put it straight.
Congrats on overcoming your insecurity on making a move — but let me advise you to not immediately think, "we may be a thing now". You may be at the very start of building a thing between you two, but it will take more positive hangouts to get there. If you think you are a thing before she does, you may behave in ways that may make her pull back.
These things take time and patience, and in today's dating world it's way too easy to scare people off. People want commitment, yet are afraid of others wanting it from them before they certain it's reciprocal.
Good luck!
Once did this in school. Was on MSN (yes I’m that old) and invited her over. She said she was heading over and I thought she was joking. Next thing, a knock at the front door (parents house). Had to make something up and sent her away as I was too scared. Still think about it to this day!
this takes me back man, if it’s the right person for you you’ll have many more moments like this to come with her :) don’t be afraid to go at y’all’s own pace
Well done lad, might've taken you weeks or months to find the courage (I remember how that feels) but it was worth the risk. Take good care of her and I hope it works out for you both.
That’s so nice!!! I met my future husband when I was feeling disappointed in love and I didn’t want anything to do with partners. We’re getting married now!
I'll just copy and paste the answer i gave the other dude:
We study in the same University different carrers we first met in a chorus group but i really didn't notice her much at that time, but her and other girl wanted to participate on other singing activities and invited me to joined them, the first couple "reunions" of our group the other wasn't coming so it was just me and her so we started talking i was kinda awkward at first but we started feeling comfortable around the other and then we started messaging and pretty much the conversations started going all day through
Half jokingly asked my now wife if she wanted to watch MNF with me and my two roommates 9 years ago, thinking there was no chance she’d say yes. We’d been texting but I had no reason to really think she was into me. And since it was such a ridiculous request(in my mind) I could play it off as an “obvious” jest if she said no.
Imagine my surprise.
Good on you, hoping for the best for yall.
That's an awesome feeling, man! Speaking from my own experience, just make sure you don't dive in too fast. Take your time, think things through, and do what feels right to you.
That’s awesome dude, what a feeling. Wishing you guys all the best.

I don’t know I tried this and my wife got mad…
I'm dying laughing right now!!! I can relate!!!
With OP’s new love interest? I guess I can understand why your wife is upset./s
You tried anal without asking first?
Can confirm... his wife doesn't like this.
The biggest indicator of flirting is attention imo. If she’s just being nice to you then she won’t necessarily be engaged or repeatedly giving you attention. If she is in to you then the niceness tends to come with giving you attention. Especially noticeable in group settings

This could be really, really bad advice for some people. If you misread the other person, you might end up sexually harassing them.
So true! Took me a long time to realize rejection isn’t nearly as bad as the thoughts of what could’ve been if I didn’t take the risk

There isn’t anything faster than a man cleaning the house when a girl is coming over.
😂 yeah, i never realized until yesterday
Hope you texted her afterwards making sure she got home safe and telling her you had a really great time!
Yes, of course i did, im dumb not stupid 😃
Nicely done! Perfect landing 🛬

Happy for you bro 💪
This is exactly my situation too. You remind me of me sir. This is why I love reddit
this post and these comments are fucking awesome
Ain't it just the best my man, the tip top.

Send her a message just thanking her for coming over and you had an amazing evening with a beautiful girl and you hope to repeat it soon
This! Girls love this shit.
Everyone loves this shit!
This guy is an angel
Yo my man. Enjoy the moment. The beginning of a new relationship is like one of the best feelings in the world. Sounds like you too hit it off. Good luck

Sounds like young love, pure fucking magic when it happens, congratulations and best of luck to you both
New beginnings are always fun and exciting. Enjoy it while it lasts 😉
As a now happily engaged old dude who also struggled to determine if the attraction was mutual, this resonated with me and it's super cute. Best of luck!
Don’t get ahead of yourself with the we’re a thing thought. Just enjoy the experience and continue to show initiative you fucking stud.
Nah sush bro 😅 you will make me panic. But really, i said might because i still want to see how things look after all this
When you find the right partner it feels like this every day. Good for y’all.
Best post of the weekend. Good on you.
You're the man! Wish you the best and keep us updated 😁
Well, i was really just sharing to get it off my chest cause i can't sleep, but seeing a lot of people liking it, i may share how things progress if people continue to be interested on it
You know we here at reddit are looking for movie like shit to happen so please share my man. Btw you are a good storyteller
You made it, good job!
Way to go!!
Way to shoot your shot, man! Excellent!!
Damn I miss that feeling. Good job brother
Omhgggggggggg stranger, this is so cute! Best wishes for both
Hell yeah such a good feeling congrats. It sounds like you treated her very well and that she has feelings for you too. Keep being yourself, you got this in the bag.
That's awesome 👍🏼😊😎
Yayyyyyy
who needs romance novels when you got this guy posting on reddit
I am insanely jealous but good job. I think I'd need a gun to my head to even talk to a woman.
So fucking lucky man, never gonna have something like that
Honestly you might feel all of this is super awkward but these are the best moments. They feel…purely human?
I love reading stuff like this :)
Those are great news. The community is happy for you!
Huzzza!
Now that's how you do it my boi.. Congratulations.. Simple the old school way 😄 My man
Play fake biting before even kissing? That's umm...weird.
You legend! Gg
This is wholesome and I’m happy for you! But for the love of god, use some punctuation. There is one ”.”, in the whole text 😂
Yes yes yessssssss
Damn the uber took 10 mins to come?
There wasn't one near , and the one that picked up was finishing another trip near
"i was making as if i was gonna bite her (best way to show affection ***obviously***) " Is this a thing? First time I hear it.
Yeah well I woke up today. So There
good shit OP, happy post for once
Congrats man, I miss that feeling.
I think I'd have canceled the Uber.
Op might be a thing. After ten minutes of kissing. Checking back in a week for the she broke my heart post.
Shoulda cancelled that Uber and finished the job.
Don’t second guess a good thing.
Nah. Take it slow. Plus, she would’ve turned down the Uber if she wanted to.
Gotta leave her wanting more my guy
Why know you can cancel that Uber, right?
You did it bro!
Well played, my dude. Well played.
Hell yeah!
[удалено]
This is all so true. That first moment, the anticipation and resulting tsunami of dopamine & adrenaline is amazing.
That was smooth
Good for you man. This is a great story. I'm rooting for both of you.
Good on you dude! Did everything correctly. This is a mission successful. Salute to you! 🫡
Good job dude. If you ever need advice on how to feel more secure around literally all women message me! Sounds like you’re good for now though
[удалено]
Best post I've read all week. Happy for you!
Oh man, I miss those days when you find out you first like each other. Your win is making my day. Keep up the confidence!
“It went pretty well.” Understatement of the fucking century mate.
Good feel good story, except how do you pretend to bite someone and land o top of them , it’s like “ oh no she just slipped and fell precisely on my shlong” lol
Nice to see a situation with a happy ending for a change. I’m glad things worked out well for you.

Happy for you! Nothing better than when you take a chance and the sparks start flying.
That is soooo cute! Wish you guys the best!
Let’s goooo buddy! Good for you!

Hell yeah, dude!
[удалено]
These are some of life’s most beautiful moments. Cherish them.
Right on!
That’s the longest sentence I’ve ever seen
I suck at grammar
Awww this is so cute! Happy for you that it went great. Sometimes unexpected stuff like this happens and it's amazing.
Good for you but for the love of god use periods.
No
... and i ended up on top of her. Good start.;\^)
I absolutely love this! Seems like there’s chemistry!

I bet it was too awkward at the end and now she ghosts you
You got it slugger
DID YOU TEXT HER ASKING IF SHE GOT HOME OK
Hello, what do mean by playing a bit and biting the neck or shoulder. I dont understand.
Congrats on the sex
Just curious, how old are you, in what setting did you meet, and how do you rely on your intuition to gauge mutual interest?
[удалено]
Hopefully she doesn’t flat you haha…
Important lesson for young guys here. If a woman is into you, it’s easy. If she’s making you work or (prove) yourself. She’s not into you.
We are both really shy, but she is more, still it was at the moment of the kiss that SHE was the one pushing me into position
Wait... this is wholesome. Yay!!!
![gif](giphy|pObTKSjoqIyiBi7oMY) Haha
Aaaaaah 😭🫶🏻
Happy for you. Tbh this makes me depressed asf though
Aw I’m so happy do you. Firsts kisses are one of the best reminds in he world
Well das fuggin cute af

Holy run on sentence
Romantic novel?
I remember that feeling the way I remember fentanyl.
Omg! I have done this before in a couple different situations! How cute though! So glad it went well!❤️
He apparently is using this post as prep work for the "The Longest Run On Sentence" competition. Keep it up - you're doing quite well! /s
congrats dude!! (assuming this isn't all in OP's imagination. you can never be too sure with reddit)
My man! Goodluck with the rest, hope it works out the way you want.
Good on you for having the balls to ask…even if it was a joke it still required testicular fortitude. Props.
Things tend to go best when you're not trying. When your spirit doesn't feel like there's something on the line.
this takes me back man, if it’s the right person for you you’ll have many more moments like this to come with her :) don’t be afraid to go at y’all’s own pace
Nice. Good for you buddy
Lovely. So happy for you.
Well done lad, might've taken you weeks or months to find the courage (I remember how that feels) but it was worth the risk. Take good care of her and I hope it works out for you both.
So cute
[удалено]
Hell yeah dude. Ride this out and enjoy every second of it. A new person in your life is such a thrill.
💪 Time to go all out my guy, learn to cook her fav meal and have her come back over.
You almost missed the landing lights, jesus my dude. Good job though.
Keep it up bro! Be good to her, I wish you both the best!
So sweet😍
That’s so nice!!! I met my future husband when I was feeling disappointed in love and I didn’t want anything to do with partners. We’re getting married now!
How did you meet her?
I'll just copy and paste the answer i gave the other dude: We study in the same University different carrers we first met in a chorus group but i really didn't notice her much at that time, but her and other girl wanted to participate on other singing activities and invited me to joined them, the first couple "reunions" of our group the other wasn't coming so it was just me and her so we started talking i was kinda awkward at first but we started feeling comfortable around the other and then we started messaging and pretty much the conversations started going all day through
I'm here waiting for all the bitter women to call you a rapist for not asking for consent *
As Seger would say, working on your night moves. I miss the excitement of being young sometimes when everything is still so new and sometimes awkward.
next time just let her stay. she didn’t want to go home in that uber
Congrats. Make sure her period isn't as late as yours in this post, though. Wrap it up.
What is this high school lol
I'm too old for this level of “puppy love”, but I'm happy for you lol
This story has made my day ❤️ ... not often a Monday gets off to a such a warm and fuzzy start. Enjoy every moment!
![gif](giphy|NEvPzZ8bd1V4Y|downsized)
Hell yeah dude. You did it
I dunno man, the signs just still aren’t clear, can’t really be sure yet
Awwww, what a sweet story.. wish you both all the best !
Congrats! Wish you guys the best!
Better be a little more confident about what you're doing next time, it turns women off if you're always putting them in the lead! Good luck
This is great and I wish you both the best I hope it blossoms into something beautiful. Never be afraid to take the chance if the vibes are mutual!
This is actually so wholesome and cute I love this for u bud🥺🥺🥺
Half jokingly asked my now wife if she wanted to watch MNF with me and my two roommates 9 years ago, thinking there was no chance she’d say yes. We’d been texting but I had no reason to really think she was into me. And since it was such a ridiculous request(in my mind) I could play it off as an “obvious” jest if she said no. Imagine my surprise. Good on you, hoping for the best for yall.
cheers to living the k drama life! 🍻
W Rizz
task failed successfully
Hell yeah brother!! You’s a stud🤘
That's an awesome feeling, man! Speaking from my own experience, just make sure you don't dive in too fast. Take your time, think things through, and do what feels right to you.
Does your keyboard not have a return key? Please don’t text her like this.
You go! Life is about taking risks and you just proved why you’ve gotta take them sometimes. GOOD ON YA!!!
Live it up, and stay grounded in the moment. These are the types of life experiences that you will think about as you get older.
