Guy Completely Missed Every Romantic Signal From Friend

A guy’s female friend revealed she used to have a crush on him and listed all her “signals” – which included kissing him on the mouth, encouraging skinny dipping, flashing her breasts, and literally humping him. He somehow interpreted every single one as just friendly jokes, earning him the title of world’s most oblivious man.

The Original Post

My friend revealed recently that she used to have a crush on me. We were talking about how we were both in relationships at the same time for the first time. She said she thought we would end up dating based on all the signals she was sending me, but when I didn’t respond with signals of my own, she figured I didn’t feel the same. This was news to me, so I asked her to please provide examples of these signals because I had no idea what she was talking about. My friend shared the following examples:

1. On my 20th birthday, she kissed me on the mouth after wishing me.

2. On a camping trip, she encouraged me to go skinny dipping with her.

3. When I was in the hospital, she wanted me to show her that I really was naked underneath my hospital robe.

4. Mid high school, she flashed her tits at me when I informed her I was still a virgin.

5. She humped my butt more than once.

6. During Covid, she said she would fuck me in my room just to piss off my religious mother who refused to get vaccinated.

I told her if I knew any of those things were not just jokes, I would’ve totally acted less uninterested. My friend shrugged and said she did everything except spell it out for me. For the record, I’m happy in my current relationship, but that didn’t make it easier to accept how oblivious I was lol.

Tl:dr Friend informed me of all the times throughout our friendship she attempted to tell me she wanted me, but I never noticed, and now we’re both in relationships, so it’s too late.

What Reddit Said

Reddit was absolutely merciless in their judgment of OP’s obliviousness. The top comments focused on just how incredibly obvious the signals were. One commenter joked that OP deserved the “world’s most oblivious dude ever award.” Others expressed genuine amazement that anyone could miss such clear romantic interest.

However, most Redditors kept the tone lighthearted rather than harsh. They acknowledged this as an extreme example of the stereotype about men missing romantic cues. Many seemed genuinely entertained by the sheer magnitude of OP’s cluelessness.

The Verdict

The overwhelming consensus: OP holds the record for missed romantic signals from friend. This is a classic case of dating fails where every possible hint was completely ignored. While Reddit found it hilarious, they also seemed relieved that both parties ended up happy in their current relationships despite this relationship drama.
