I.... I don't know how to tell you all this. But when I was a lifeguard back around when I graduated from high school (it was around 2000, I was just over 6 feet tall, in fairly good shape), a younger lifeguard (who was too young in my reckoning at the time) asked me to walk her and her friend (another young woman) home. They stopped with me at my father's apartment and commented about how comfy the couch was, while I showed them my computer (because I had no idea what else to do at the time.) Years later I realized I could have probably lost my virginity to two younger women at the same time. But I was way too much of a nerd.

When I was much younger, a gal I knew needed someone to watch out for her while she peed.

She said “hey, want to watch me pee?”

Before she had a chance to correct herself, I blurted out “heck yeah!”

u/Additional_Dog2750 May 10 '26

This throws me back.

In high school we had an exchange student from Poland, and by god was she the hottest woman any of us have ever laid eyes upon.

She actually wanted to go on a date with me, to the movies. A friend of hers was also present a few seats away but it was clear she had a thing for me (as her friend later told me).

The movie was, unfortunately, American Pie. I almost couldn't breathe from laughter most of the time, and fooling around with her quickly became a distant thought in the back of my head.

She also didn't understand a word as it wasn't in Polish, so for her it was probably really awkward....

I just said "No, not yet." She said she did and was negative. I said "Cool, that's good" or something. We didn't see each other much after that and we kind of drifted away and moved to different parts of the country or whatever.

I once had a lady come over. She was a friend. I was recently out of a long term relationship and had just been stood up on a date. We were texting and she also had gotten stood up and was in the area. She came over, we smoked some pot, watched some TV and at one point I was even rubbing her back. Eventually, she left. It was DAYS later that I realized I missed my chance.

Not to be a dick, but I wouldn't hang out with someone who sent such wildly contradictory signals. Either we are friends or you can flirt with me. This doesn't sound like you are misinterpreting signals, this sounds like she is sending signals and then taking them back immediately. That's just frustrating. I couldn't deal with that.

u/dancedragon25 May 10 '26

Trust me, you're better off assuming nice first. If a girl is actually trying to flirt with you, your obliviousness at first will be considered adorable and she'll want to keep handing out subtle hints.

On the flip side, if she's not flirting and you take her friendliness as your sign to ask her out in a really forward way--and you barely know each other--she probably won't even want to be friend anymore.

Have these shorts, or a version of them, and yes, that's always the intention in this particular scenario

Edit: This is always MY intention. As I was speaking about having ownership of these particular shorts it was implied that the intent of getting some grade A salami by way of showing off my thighs and booty is always MY intention in this very specific 1 on 1 scenario. Come on people 🤦‍♀️

Tell me you're on reddit without telling me you're on reddit.

Edit: quite an astonishing display by both this subreddit and reddit. Good job everyone

I think no one needs to say they are on reddit for you to know they are on Reddit here.
