A true cinephile

Once i had a girl sleep over, because she missed the last Train. When i asked what Music she would like to hear, she said "let's go to bed" by the Cure. The next 4 times i asked her, she said the same thing. I remember thinking "gee she must really love that song". #autism

Listen up, woman. I didn't spend all this money on speakers to watch shit on a postage stamp.

Now hold still while I fire up Jellyfin.

I was this dumb when I was a teenager.

i still am
Same. I like to think I've gotten older/wiser, but in reality, I do not believe I have.

Y'all out here being handsome oblivious motherfuckers women hit on, meanwhile I'm just ugly.

It's all relative man. Sure you might be ugly on a scale of 1-10 but a subset of that scale like 1-3 you might be still be ugly but if you expand the scale, say from -3-1 you the too dog man! Just find yourself a -3 and she'll want to watch movies on a laptop on your bed, just make sure you reinforce the bed frame.
- Lol great advice. I did actually reinforce my bed frame. Not because of the weight of my partners so much as the uh... force in play sometimes.
  My main problem when I'm single is that I get very few matches on the apps, and I'm shy about approaching women in person unless they make the first move. Once I'm actually talking to someone, the chances are pretty decent and not just with "-3s". Same thing with job interviews. As soon as I'm in person, I'll talk pretty much anyone into hiring me - but getting to that point is difficult. Actually the job interview success rate is even better, it's like 80-90%.
- isnt -3 like a 7. Like you get so ugly you become pretty again

Coffee’s not coffee; coffee is sex! People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live

When I was in college, I was pretty into a girl, but was too nervous to ask her out. I'm also famously oblivious.

A few months into this, she texts me saying she needs someone to peer review a paper, and wants me to come over to her place the next night around 10. She also specifically says her roommate will he out and she knows neither of us are seeing anyone, so we'll both be free to meet up.

So I go over there, and she comes out wearing yoga pants and a sports bra. I figure she's wanting to go to bed pretty soon.

She asks if I want a drink, and I ask for some water..She grabs it for me and sits next to me on the couch, and I lean in and.... ask for the paper.

She's like, "Oh, yeah." And she goes and prints it out and brings it to me.

It was pretty rough, and I peer-reviewed the shit out of it. I show her a bunch of mistakes and stuff, tell her she has some work to do, and leave.

I didn't realize how much of a seemingly-cruel dumbass I was for like a year.

Oh god, this is painful.
while yeah hindsight is clear.. that's the right way to play that. it's on her to make the move in that position, not for you to make her uncomfortable
Oh man, I can feel the pain of that realization hitting in the middle of the night a year later.
- Once at a music festival I was chatting with a girl while standing in line. We talked for about an hour, did our shopping together and when we were returning to our camps, she said "I'm over there, under that banner if You would like to find me later and hang out". I said "I doubt that I will find You in this crowd" and went to my camp. I realized what I have done even before reaching my tent. Is it worse to realize a year later or 12min later but still not be able to take it back?
The year after i graduated college i went back to visit for some alumni thing. I ran into this guy i had been flirty with the year before and he invited me over to his room to "hang out". When I got there, he had just done laundry and had clean sheets he needed to put on his bed. I offered to help. I offered by sprawling my whole body, ass up, across his bed so I could tuck the corner in.
And then...
I helped him make his bed and clean the rest of his room. And we had a really nice chat and catch up. A couple of hours later, we hugged goodbye and I left.
I have been so depressed this week and you just made me laugh so hard and for so long my cat came into the room to check on me. I can totally relate to the obliviousness. I wouldn't recognize flirting if you wrote it on a sign and held it in front of my face
- The funny thing is I'm generally excellent at reading people, except when it comes to romantic stuff involving me. Reading people is a huge part of my job, and I'm excellent at what I do.
This is on her. If she was interested she would have suggested a make-out break before getting started.
Fuck bro. I feel pain for you after reading that.
tell me this has a good end and you guys are together now

Yeah we all got one of these stories, I think I might have three. At least

Mine was that a girl came up to me and gave me her phone number and said "Call me if you're ever doing anything." I said "Cool, I will." but then proceeded to be me, who's never doing anything.
Haha yeah guys I totally have a story like this too... Don't you just hate when girls flirt with you and you don't realise it... I mean it happens to me all the time... Soo many girls are interested in me... Sobs
- Sometimes decades later I suddenly realise I was being flirted on in some random party circa 2004. I used to think exactly like you!

Way back when I was a student, I was at a girl's place for some project we had to do together, and she (and this is going to date me) showed off her stereo setup that she had hooked up to her PC to play Wolfenstein 3D. Later we also ended up watching TV on her couch together.
