When I dropped out of college after realizing I wasn't built for that life I realized I like eating and warmth. So I got a job as a customer service rep at a call center. Well my immediate boss was a nice older white guy that love to give me life advice and stuff.

But after the awkward standard southern white guy talking to a younger above average size black guy greeting.


WG: "you played ball? You look like you did"

Me looking through an extremely think frames at a copy of WildCORE.

"No I didn"t"

After that we would still talk but he would keep asking me if I wanted to meet his wife and study the bible. and I could spend the night(I had no car at the time).

I always politely turned him down because I am antisocial ass fuck but that never stopped him. He would keep trying to get me to go, saying how much his wife wanted to meet me and that I sounded like a cool guy.

Keep in mine at work I keep it super light, I only talk about work, local news and the braves.

It wasn't until later I realized homeboy might have been trying to get me knighted by a queen of spades. Still think I dodged a bullet

All the time. I'm entirely oblivious to signals anyone is putting out. I'm so used to people not being interested in me when people are it just sails right over my head.

Almost every time I've ever been hit on, yes, including by people who were my partner at the time.

I wear a wedding band these days, so probably not. But when I was single, I realized it a few times after the fact.

It always feels like they're hitting on you but no it's really just about Jesus for them, trying to get you to go to church and all that.

It always blindsides me cuz im not a traditionally good looking dude at all, and im overweight. But according to the girl im seeing, girls where were from like tough looking tall dudes. Girls speak to me at a bus stop and i dont think anything about it, but apparently Im just oblivious.

Yeah, there was this girl in high school that would come see me every day and drop constant hints and flirt.

I didn't realize it until 7 years later.

Yes, several times.

Many times by swingers.

Hitting up certain bars on the Strip can be a TRIP, I'll say that.

Um, like 15 years ago some regular customer of mine asked if I wanted to have a threesome with him and his wife. I politely said no. If by politely you mean immediately without skipping a beat.

Still to this day I can't help but wonder how long they had been planning on asking. And am amazed that they were even considering me. lol

The old me was still a virgin so of course I didn't want this to be my "first time". However the current me, I'd probably say yes TBH.

To be fair, putting on porn as a suggestion to fuck is a terrible move. Talking about porn can be a good thing since it can lead to talking about sex and suggesting sex outright, but putting on a porn video/movie just seems like it'll be awkward for everyone.

Maybe? I'm pretty sure this doesn't count, but I remember being on a camping trip with my classmates in high school (it was basically a "field trip", but it felt like a nice camping trip). During the trip, an acquaintance came up to me and was like "So, Josh...what do you think of Camille? She has some nice tits, huh?", and he asked that while the Camille he was talking about was like 2 feet away from us. At first, I thought it was ill-timed locker room talk, so I just said "Uhh...not really" and I apologized to Camille before leaving their presence. IIRC, almost immediately after, I realized that maybe the guy was acting as Camille's wingman. Really, though, if she weren't standing 2 feet away, my answer to his question would have been different.

Back on-topic, I imagine that there's been at least a few times when a girl was trying to flirt with me or hit on me and it didn't register, especially if I felt like she was out of my league.

Edit: There's been more than a few girls at work who say hi to me (sometimes with a smile). I'm not gonna pretend like they all had ulterior motives, but it would stand to reason that at least one of them did.

A girl in HS frequently brought up a comment I put on her yearbook a year or two afterwards. I always laugh and say yeah I remember that!
Maybe she just really liked the comment though.

A girl also asked if I liked my crush and I just nervously laughed "no way" since she was there. The crush muttered back saying she wished the girl didn't ask. But maybe it was because my response was rude.

Another girl always said she like how I clean my glasses. She eventually got her own and would ask me if I liked them.

Highschool was a weird time for me.

In middle school, several times. I thought they were joking and mocking me but then I realized several years later that they were flirting.

They were very Not My Type though, so nothing lost.

Another time in middle school someone walked up to me and asked me "Will you go out with X", with "X" right next to her, and I blurted out "No" as fast as possible out of anxiety.

I'm in the best possible relationship I could ask for right now though, so I regret absolutely nothing. I'm very glad I avoided all the high school crush drama and shit, I watched so many people hook up and break up so many times in the span of a single school year.

There was a girl that wanted to come over and learn to play the guitar. So.....I taught her some basics and that was that.

I must have been 17 or 18 and got a girl to come over and sit in my bedroom with no effort and I showed her chord progressions and strum patterns.

I learned like 10 years later that it wasn't about the guitar.

100%. Got hit on in freshman class by a girl. She was trying to strike a conversation. Absolute dumbassery of the highest order on my part in my response. I realized it many years later and aggressively hate myself for not getting it.

Yes on multiple occasions. I'm like, "hey that person was really nice" before someone who saw the whole thing comes in to say they were hitting on me.

I had a guy approach me and try to talk about the Bible after about 15 minutes of small talk.

He was hot, I def didn't know I was being hit on until this thread.

I worked with a guy kinda like that when I first started my apprenticeship and he took me under his wing. One day on a site we had absolutely nothing to do because we were waiting on a delivery so he grabbed his laptop from his car and we sat and watched a movie. After the movie he started a porn and I realized it was him and his wife and I told him I didn't want to watch. A month later he ordered some tools through our work to save some money but couldn't bring them home because he rode his motorcycle so he asked if I could take them home and he'd swing by after going home and grabbing his car. He showed up at my place with his wife and introduced us and then grabbed the tools and went home. Then for the next week he'd tell me his wife wanted me to come over for dinner as a thank you. I eventually had to tell him I was flattered but I didn't want to have a threesome with him and his wife.

One time, at college, I walked a friend back to her campus apartment where she asked me if I'd liked to come up with her.

I was half-way walking back to my place when I realized maybe that was something.

I mean, I'm asexual so it wouldn't have gone anywhere but I was worried I hurt her feelings.

When I was like 20 I was a supervisor at a grocery store, I took another job and put in a two weeks notice. A girl who was one of my reports asked me if I wanted to 'hang out' after my two weeks notice was up, and I said sure without thinking much about it.

Turns out I had vastly misread the request, which was a little uncomfortable because I was not interested.

Back in the 90s when I was 16-17 and working a fast food job in high school. This girl I worked with was always hanging all over me when we joked around and was frequently flirting with me. At the time I had no self confidence, and since I was a dumbass I figured "oh she's just being playful" and didn't really think anything of it. A few years later we bumped into each other at the mall and she was dating some dude who looked a lot like me, so apparently she had a type. I remember that feeling of "son of a bitch" very well.

I had a classmate show up in my dorm with just me only wearing my boxer. Or rather she walked into my dorm while I was only with my boxers. Few moments passed and she asked if it was weird she was there. I told her Nah, I've been with my boxers with other girls before too.
I sort of have a clue where things were going but didn't realize until I said that. But I had a friend across the room who really liked this girl too so I was kinda scared of approaching her that way too.
