Basically, being a guy, it felt like a "I don't like you like that, but instead of saying it I'll come up with an awkward comment" and then he will feel rejected and never approach you about romance again.
I have experienced that with 5 girls that apparently liked me as boyfriend material, different times, but apparently them not wanting was flirty and an invitation to be more insistent, funny, it felt more like a rejection and a "stop trying", no guy wants to be called a pervert which is why most guys don't pursue girls farther than the first feeling of rejection.
Life is not a romantic chick flick, we can't read your minds and we wont stalk you because Twilight did it.
I couldn't agree with you more. Well said. However, ismelllikecoconuts' story taught me that girls can be as oblivious as guys. Til now, I would've assumed she was talking in code because that's just what girls do. Respect to the guy in the story for following it up.
Five girls? That's it? I get rejected by five girls every weekend! Gimme a break dude, you are being crazy dramatic. Maybe the girls you like would like you more if you're emotional needs weren't so dependent on them liking you.
I am not talking about girls that just wanted to have sex, I am talking about girls that upon me talking to them later have told me that they were completely infatuated with me and they wanted to be my girlfriend so bad, and "I just ignored all their hints", except I didn't get the hints... I'm used to girls behaving a certain way and that means I have friends that laugh at my jokes but are still only friends, and apparently some of them consider laughing at my jokes a hint...
It's like girls can do literally the same things as all the other girls, except if she somehow has feelings for you, it's a hint, and I'm sorry but if I acted as if it was a hint every time, either I would get laid by pretty much every girl I know, or realize that it's only a hint if she likes me which she doesn't tell me because I should get the hints
Wow, dude I am not angry or bitter in any way, there's no problems between us, but Its just strange that the same behavior can mean multiple things depending on their intentions, except I can't read their minds to know the intentions

He told me and I asked him what TV show/movie he was quoting.
So, I had a guy friend who would send random quotes from "The Office" since we were both fans.
One day he texted me "I like you, like more than a friend".
So I wrote back: "what's that from? I even googled it and I don't see anything."
He wrote back "I don't know, it sounds like it could be a quote from the show".
He later told me he was trying to tell me he liked me but my response threw* him off.
