are you oblivious when it comes to flirting?

[McJob]

i think that's how it should be, where someone tells you that they like you and no ambiguous acts of generosity.

This is the single stupidest thing I've heard on the entire Blockland Forums in about 4 years of reading this site.

you say it so lightheartedly.

sorry i should be thinking about all the autistic and handicapped people on this planet before i hit post

[hillkill]

dude, people trying to get into full body contact like that usually means something more than a friendly snuggle. Hell, even if it is just a friendly snuggle, go for that stuff.

we were friends for years. i'm close to all my friends. not one of my friends is bothered by being close to me.

how?

[Red Spy]

if you loving like me, just tell me. i'm not a mind reader

also this isn't helping anything at all lmao

[Foxscotch]

explain to me how offering a blanket isn't just a sentimental, platonic thing.

is this some joke
that's not even flirting, that's like handjob territory man

[Red Spy]

that's not even flirting, that's like handjob territory man

knowing you there'd be more than two people involved

[McJob]

how?

Because the whole point of the subtlety is:

A) To be cute/hot depending on the circumstances, which multiplies the atmosphere and makes the individuals involved feel really special
B) To demonstrate you're on the same level and understand them (relationships are built on trust and understanding, so if you don't get it then there's no point)
C) To help those who are maybe a bit shy or nervous about approaching somebody else they're interested in do it in a fun way that's less intimidating

You read like a No-Fun-Allowed type who probably hasn't cracked a smile in ever.

i don't understand subtlety. what's the point of it? why can't you just directly explain what you actually intend?

i just get kinda confused when people are talking to me because i don't know if their intentions are platonic or flirty. i don't know why.

[Rigel]

Damn, I wish I could explain stuff as well as McJob. Hillkill, do try and use this information, and accept the fact that people will rarely be that straight with you. Actually, the only time I picture someone being that upfront about it is if they were as dense as you are, or just realized that you were so damn dense and looked past it.

[McJob]

Did you even read what I said? I gave you three reasons why people flirt as a means to get in. Surely you're not that mentally challenged to also not get this on an intellectual level, as well as the physical one.

Just saying you're interested is scary. It's boring. It comes off as cold and uncaring, and you can't gauge the other person's interest. Was that simple enough for you?

Then you need to start experiencing more. Watch some movies and TV. Talk to more people. Actually try to get in with a chick.

I can't tell but I also can't tell in either direction. I don't know if I have a crush on someone or anything. I can be attracted to someone and I can appreciate someone's personality but there isn't ever a bridge between the two. I'm really worried I'll never have that and that I'll never actually love anyone, and that means that if I am attracted to someone and I like them as a person I should consider pursuing them even if there isn't some deep emotional connection already, but that means that I worry about that with like every female friend and they deserve better than to have to wonder whether I want something more than friendship so I don't ever act on my meagre feelings but I still stress about whether they like me because if they did I don't know if I'd be able to reciprocate.
Oh whoops I meant to say yeah totally haha I am totally oblivious when girls hit on me haha ain't that the truth.

i say that i am so i dont have to tell people im not intrested lol
