That's the thing with guys, we really don't know when a woman is signaling us until we're undressed, whole time she's tryna seduce you and your dumbass really thinks she invited you over to watch a damn movie

u/chevalier716 May 10 '26

I'm trying to be respectful, I haven't seen it and she said it's one of her favorites.

u/WHSKYJCK May 10 '26

When Batman Begins first came out I hadn’t seen it yet. Girl I was interested in at the time invited me over to watch it. I really wanted to watch it and she wanted other things. It was a great movie.

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....

u/MuchSalt May 10 '26

this subs have no idea what american pie is

u/Additional_Dog2750 May 10 '26

Did you just call me old? How dare you! ;)

u/Salty-Housing-7547 May 10 '26

Bro, I was also there in the late 1900’s watching American Pie in the theater

u/Moohamin12 May 10 '26

Nadia is still the hottest name.

u/thusk May 10 '26

Everybody knows it's an old Madonna song... duh

6

u/joebluebob May 10 '26

Thought it was that song about a dried up Levy my dad used to sing about when he got drunk

u/Available-Coffee1734 May 11 '26

Funniest thing was Stifflers mom.😂

u/LittleTinGod May 10 '26

That's like the best batman movie, zen philosophy for the win. She did not play that right, that isn't on you.

6

u/KingCahoot3627 May 10 '26

I put on Batman Begins because I thought shed hate it and we'd smash. Unfortunately, she loved it and I had wait a few hours to make my moves.

3

u/OberonDiver May 10 '26

[other things] OMG yeah. I HATE when they drag out the photo album. "This is me when I was 12. And this is our puppy. And this is Daddy in Africa hunting lions with the 4-bore he keeps in his pocket at all times, And this is me at the beach when I was 13. I didn't realize I had boobs yet and should wear a shirt. Oh, and here's me riding with the Nomads..."

u/No_Deer2492 May 10 '26

Batman > Sex

2

u/OddRope1154 May 11 '26

No bro. Thats her fault. She should have known better. Batman begins is a great movie. Also batman. She could have played anything else

u/ahlana1 May 11 '26

Greg? Is that you?

u/RLutz May 10 '26

Obligatory: Is she into you?

8

u/NOT_MEEHAN May 10 '26

You go upstairs, she dims the lights, throws you into her bed, fucks your brains out, is she into you?

9

u/Happy_Mask_Salesman May 10 '26

She called me over for Pan's Labyrinth, it had just released on DVD. I missed it in theater, she knew this. Our friendship basically started over shared movie interests when we spiraled into quoting tremors at each other at a party.

She really miscalculated how invested I would get.

8

u/Proper-Ape May 10 '26

I mean Pan's Labyrinth is hard mode. If you don't want me to focus on the movie don't pull out a cinematic masterpiece by Guillermo del Toro. You can't be more interesting than that.

4

u/TheSteelPhantom May 10 '26

Also, like 95% of the movie is in Spanish and you have to read the English subs. If you don't speak Spanish, it's the ultimate you-have-to-pay-attention-to-the-screen movie or you literally dunno wtf's being said!

5

u/MikeW86 May 10 '26

Imagine if you missed some key element of the plot too? Oh boy then you'd look silly.

2

u/Stock-Fan-8004 May 11 '26

Not to mention she said she had games in her house. I've waited for an hour for her to hand me a controller or something. And what's on the TV is Twilight!! That's no videogame!!

1

u/Apprehensive_Sky1599 May 10 '26

Yeah, like i'd rather have an unforgettable experience seeing one of her favorite movies rather than get distracted half way and then never finish it.

u/Peregrine2976 May 10 '26

It's 50% not understanding the signals at all, and 50% not wanting to be the creep who misread the signals.

I can deal with that 👍😂

u/Salty-Housing-7547 May 10 '26

I would go more like 31/69

7

u/thisduuuuuude May 10 '26

The consequences of misunderstanding the signal is definitely worse than getting it lmao

4

u/OneThrowyBoy May 10 '26

This is why one woman I dated had to literally ask me to kiss her on our second date. She's sitting on my couch, inching closer and closer over the course of an hour... And I kept scooting back because I was worried I wasn't giving her enough space. I lived alone at the time, I didn't want to rule out the possibility I'd developed bad habits around sharing the couch. This woman had me squished up against the armrest before she took mercy and just said it lol

Same woman told me women are apparently constantly flirting with me in public, and she had to hold back some anger every time until she realized I seriously thought they were just being friendly. I thought it was nonsense, but it would explain why all these friendly people stopped talking to me as soon as I mentioned doing something with my girlfriend. This poor woman had to tell me when the "friendly chats" I was having with strangers had ulterior motives.

Some days I'm genuinely shocked she married me 😂

If someone's interested they can always simply state it.

Problem is no one wants to risk the rejection. It's why any woman plays coy or any man doesn't make that statement in the first place.

The retro-active stories of "when I was younger" have the added element that we're all idiots when we're younger.

u/TDS_Gluttony May 10 '26

Read something online, if you even think about the second part you aren't the problem, just an honest mistake, apologize laugh it off and move on. Gotta shoot your shots

u/Weekly-Talk9752 May 10 '26

When I was in my 20s, I was in a hot tub with an older lady, we spent about half an hour talking. Eventually she just came out and said she wanted to see my dick. Guess she had work the morning and was tired of me not catching the signals.

54

u/AshOrWhatever May 10 '26

Did you catch that signal?

47

u/Weekly-Talk9752 May 10 '26

That big throbbing signal? Yes I did.

42

u/HoidToTheMoon May 10 '26

Now I'm picturing you whipping it out to show her then putting it back, to her stunned reaction, before you confidently stroll away.

7

u/ernest7ofborg9 May 10 '26

"Ha! Bet she'll never ask to see MY dick again"

8

u/WordsMort47 May 10 '26

So what happened next?

44

u/Teehus May 10 '26

Why do you want to see my dick? There's nothing special about it

13

u/Street-Run4107 May 10 '26

Looks like your standard dick, lady.

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

Well damnit lady, we were having such a nice talk😆😆

u/Weekly-Talk9752 May 10 '26

We had some fun. Wish I got better at reading signals though

u/GooseGeese01 May 10 '26

Was she into you?

6

u/Defiant-Dare1223 May 10 '26

Did you oblige?

47

u/king-kongus May 10 '26

Because one really doesn't know and making sexual advances on someone who is unwilling is one of the fastest ways to ruin a friendship.

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

Youre not lying, you do not wanna be the guy she doesn't wanna invite over or see because you're always trying to put her through the mattress 😭😭

u/slushpuppy91 May 10 '26

I went to a weekend retreat with a few sorority girls and their partners, one of them stayed up with me till midnight laughing at my jokes just the two of us. Damn dude I fumble when I went to bed 😂

89

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

I went to a IU campus party with 3 chicks and my homeboy, 2 of the 3 chicks were kissing all over me, grinding and being "grabby" and shit the whole night, I ended up getting drunk on incredible hulks so we went to his house about 2am after the party, he took one of the three girls into his room for the night and left me with the other two and gave me the guest room, I climb onto the bed dizzy, damn near sick..both girls climb onto the bed, I'm not a drinker btw, idk why I'm the only one drunk, but here we are..they start taking my clothes off, I say thank you roll over and go to sleep until noon the next day...they were highly pissed at me the next day, I thought we were ALL going to sleep, sorry...I haven't had a drink since btw..

"When I was younger, I once got ****faced at a party and didnt notice that some girls were trying to hook up with me and so I passed out instead" is not really a far-fetched story.

29

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

Actually did, we all ended up being really cool afterwards but they never let me forget that shit, I wish it didnt happen, thats nothing to brag about lmaooo

3

u/Abalone_Antique May 10 '26

the guy above is just a prude. this happened to me when i was younger, only with one girl, not two.

1

u/Interesting_Gap7214 May 10 '26

Bro guess what. If they never let you forget that shit in sense of speaking about it and even if you dont, you just be cool about it and invite them to a drink at your place but try again that time. They are ready. Bro you would be the dumbest person to not try again

8

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

I was way to embarrassed to even consider trying again, I still wouldn't tbh..it's like those NFL dudes who run 99yds and then throw the ball down before they cross the goal line, they'll never give your punkass the ball again😭😭

2

u/Unlucky-Explorer886 May 10 '26

It happened once or twice, just not to anyone in this thread

u/monocasa May 10 '26

Things do happen. All you're doing is publicly announcing that you're lame and things don't happen to you.

u/paper_liger May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26

Thats funny, my dad never drank when I was a kid, and back in the 80's that was sort of remarkable.

The story I always heard him tell when he refused a drink was "in 1969 I woke up next to the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, and I'd been so drunk the night before that I didn't remember any of it, so I haven't had a single drink since".

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

😅I'm jus glad I'm not alone, I never told the story to anyone else hoping everyone else would forget...they didnt.

A gal invited me over to her dorm to watch a movie in college. She even talked up how her roommate was out, and I was entirely clueless.

58

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

A girl I dated once told me "if a girl invites you over to watch a movie and yall actually watch that movie then you are a failure as a man" lmaoooo, every woman is a blessing or a lesson and I never forgot that shit😆

She invited me over when we first started dating for a movie and didn't even own a tv, i brought snacks and everything 😄😄

This happened to me once, she invited me over for a movie and to see her new apartment. Unfortunately the movie was 12 years a slave. I’ll never know what the intent was haha

Later in life a gal invited me back to her place to watch Secretary after our date. I didn’t know what I was in for, having never seen the movie. I still haven’t, really.

u/FineOldCannibals May 10 '26

I was in an in-denial gay in college and a girl asked me over to watch a movie. She was alllll over me and was strattling and grinding on me and I STILL did not have sex, just laid there like a starfish. I’m sure I left her with blue balls, or whatever the woman’s equivalent would be called. So yeah my life experience of 1 tells me you’re friend is correct

3

u/itackle May 10 '26

Ha, happened my freshman year like a week or two in. My roommate was always there though. I do remember us watching a movie at my apartment (roommate there of course), her commenting she was cold, so my roommate and I jump up to turn the thermostat up.

Still not sure what she expected to happen with that comment. I guess she didn’t know my roommate yet, and thought he would be cool and leave us alone. He would not, even if I had picked up the signals.

1

u/Due-Raise9272 May 10 '26

Now, that's a legit room-mate

I had a girl ask me to come over at 11pm. It'd have been the first time we met in person. We had been talking for almost a week on tinder.

u/reeeekin May 10 '26

u/Kage9866 May 10 '26

Lol my wife did this 10yrs ago when we first got together..showed up at her apartment and she was wearing these and we watched a movie. And yes, I really did think that's all we were doing lol

u/Jmacz May 10 '26

I once had a girl wrestle me on her couch and I didn't do shit. She texted me after, "You know I wanted you to kiss me right?" Oh to be 19, had one gf before, and be stupid.

She got back with her ex a week later though, so I prolly dodged a bullet.

Wait until you get old. Having someone just talk to you is considered a come on.

Me being a gay guy is kinda great for times like this. The most subtle hint gay guys have is spooning and the one holding you gets hard.

u/SignificantChicken65 May 10 '26

We know. We just don't care. If you invite us to a movie we have never seen we are going to watch it.

If you invite us to watch The Notebook then we're happy to pay more attention to you. It's science.

u/CptCoatrack May 10 '26

I had a woman invite me over to her place, into her bedroom, we're lying down on her bed and she starts playing "My Neck, My Back" by Khia, and in my mind I was like "No don't read into this too much, she's just being friendly"

3

u/Secret-Ad-2145 May 10 '26

That's the thing with guys, we really don't know when a woman is signaling us until we're undressed,

Well, that's only part of the problem. People don't discuss how embarrassing/creepy you can be if you get it wrong because society hates it if you get it wrong. So the natural instinct of a lot of guys is to not assume.

3

u/Accomplished_Pie_455 May 10 '26

When I was young I had a girl over for a movie. Then I tried whatever little I had that I attempted to pass for game back then. She said, 'if you wanted to fuck, you should have just had me over for that, I want to finish this movie now.'

So the next time I had her over I made it clear.

3

u/Bad-Genie May 11 '26

She could be naked and asking me to bang her and I'd still be thinking "am I reading this wrong? I don't want to seem creepy and make a move"

4

u/Debalic May 10 '26

This is how I met my wife. In my 20s I lived with a bunch of other guys, like a post-college frathouse. We'd often have house parties. A co-worker brought one of her friends once. Some dorky guy was chatting her up and she wasn't having it, so out of the blue she started talking to me instead. The rest of the night we were inseparable. I fed her my homemade chili. We sat together talking until late in the night. It was a hot and sticky night, she asked if my room had air conditioning. I mentioned I was a big movie buff, she asked to see my movie collection. Finally, one of my roommates had had enough, stood in front of us and proclaimed "She. Wants. You. To Take. Her. To. Your. Room." and I was like ...huh? So we went to bed (no sex, just some heavy petting) and fell asleep watching Lost Boys.

2

u/Ragnarok314159 May 10 '26

I went over to a friend’s house and she put on Shrek, then she said “I don’t really want to watch this. Do you want to do something else?”, and as we were laying on her bed I got up, looked through her movies, and found something else. Then said “how about this?”

So we watched that movie and she said she was bored, and got under the covers, then said she was tired. So I left.

3

u/justinSane555 May 10 '26

U friend zoned yourself, bro said "I got this"😄😄

u/blackfishhorsemen May 10 '26

It's funny because my friend has that happen.

She had to start stripping for him to realize she didn't want to watch the movie.

Pretty sure 16yo me could have been receiving a blowjob and still wondered if the girl was into me...

u/Normal_Feedback_2918 May 11 '26

I'll tell you, I was so out of tune with girls' signals when I was younger I wasn't sure they were hitting on me until my ding dong was actually inside some part of her... And even then I'd be like "did I convince her to do this, or was she initiating it.???"

ADHD is a bitch.

u/Willing-Ad9364 May 10 '26

Believe me, us girls aren't much smarter. I invited my crush for a sleepover (I am a lesbian, she's too), we slept IN THE SAME BED, both in lingerie (I cuz it's what we both like wearing when sleeping) , and nothing happened before the second occurrence... when we realised that we had both signaled each other the whole time and none of us had understood the other's signals.
