18+ Times Men Had Their Signals Crossed Because Their Circuit Was Fried
When you're talking with someone you like, you can get so caught up in not wanting to mess things up that you might miss any signals or hints that they're giving.
These men share their cringe experiences when they realized that they had missed a fairly obvious signal.
Nobody's Home
David is telling us what happens when you take things too literally.
It was not until after the fact that he realized her mentioning nobody would be home was the whole point.
Sleepover Regret
David has been going over this situation again and again for years.
He did not appear to understand the signals that the girl may have been giving him with her tickling. At least not at the moment.
Taking Advantage Of His Height
This man thought that he was invited over to help a girl hang up lights in her place only because he was tall.
It was during the sleepover when she may have been more forward with him, and he still didn't register.
The Dateless Prom
Don found himself without a date for the high school prom.
A girl that he liked dropped a not-so-subtle hint that she would go with him but he just didn't pick up on that hint. Oops.
Helping Her Get Home
Todd helped a coworker (who he found to be very attractive) get back to her car after a shift.
From there she invited him to make sure she got all the way home safely. But all Todd could think about was getting back to his car.
Movie Turndown
Being invited over to watch a movie is an old dating move that both men and women have used to get the person they're interested in to come over.
Steve, however, missed that part of the invite and was not interested in the movie so he said no.
Not Allowed Off-Campus
Being told that someone's parents are not going to be home is another subtle hint when you're getting to know someone.
Clay couldn't get past the fact that he was not allowed off-campus for lunch.
"Drive Safe"
This man appears to have been hitting it off with a woman during a wedding reception.
He was not all that interested in getting a closer look at her new car and decided to just go home.
Thirst-Quenching Kiss
Men have a hard time picking up on hints when it comes to flirting.
The woman this man was talking to at a party may have been hinting that he should kiss her but all he could think about was getting another drink.
Very Focused On His Studies
Study dates are another situation where "studying" could mean more than just studying to someone.
Dave was very concerned that having some drinks and studying would not lead to her learning the material properly.
Avoid The Face
Vin thought that finger painting was only going to mean finger painting.
When she tried to get a little playful with the finger painting, Vin wanted her to dial it back.
Just Use Google
This man thought that he was helping out when he gave a woman from another country a list of fun things to do.
When he was asked to come over to show her more he thought that Google would be more helpful to her.
Didn't Get The Number Hint
Having someone give you their number is a very clear sign that they are interested in getting to know you more.
Ian thought that it was a way for Mcdonald's to know if his order was wrong so he threw it out.
Checkout Is At 11
When you are working late nights you can become a little tired and your brain may not register things the right way.
This may have been what happened to this man when he was asked what time he got done with his shift.
House Sitting Isn't Hard
Helping out a friend and house sitting is a common thing that people do.
When a woman asked this man if she could help him, he was confused as he said it "wasn't that hard."
Ignoring The Note
There are times when people get their signals mixed up when flirting.
Vinny may not be able to use that excuse, as a girl wrote out I love you as clear as day and he still didn't understand.
Needed The Exercise
This man ran into an attractive group of friends who offered him a ride back to school.
The car would have been pretty full and he didn't want to squeeze in the back so he decided to walk.
He Remained Lonely
Thomas was approached by a woman at a cafe who noticed that he was sitting alone and may like some company.
Instead of inviting her to sit down with him, he just said he was fine and kept his head down.
Missed Opportunity For A Date
Having a date for the homecoming dance is a big deal in high school.
He had the chance to go with his friend but instead, he just hoped that they both found a date.
Long Walk To Get The Time
When you are out at a bar or the pub for a night on the town you are usually not too concerned about what the time is.
This man has been kicking himself ever since a woman walked from the far side of the bar just to ask him for the time.
Lost In Translation
This person thought that he was being taught some new phrases by an international student.
Looking back on the situation he has realized that she may have been trying to tell him something with the phrases she was teaching him.
Moving A Little Too Slow
There is a fine balance between going too fast and too slow when you are wanting to get into a relationship.
This person appears to have gone much too slow for the girl that he liked and he never saw her again.
Never Miss A Meal
When you are on a first date, you want to make sure everything goes according to plan.
This man was not ready for his date to go off script and he didn't want it to ruin their dinner reservation.
Earned No Points
This man thought that he would be doing the noble thing in turning down this request.
It is a decision that he has regretted all these years later and it seems like he wishes he could go back and change his mind.
Needed To Finish The Project
You have to respect this man for staying committed to his school work.
That assignment that he said he needed to do resulted in him missing the signals from a good-looking girl.
Light Reading
Some men are unable to pick up on a signal from a woman if it hits them in the face.
This man quite literally did not pick up on the signal that his friend was trying to tell him and she threw it at him.
No Unsafe Cuddling
This man felt that being a cuddle buddy with a woman that he did not know was not safe.
He turned down the opportunity and then shut the door right in her face!
At Least She Wasn't Cold
This man is kicking himself for the decision that his younger self made back in high school.
The girl he liked was offering to stay over but he didn't realize that and gave her a sweater and sent her home.
Not Interested
This man had a woman offer to see her cat swim in the tub with her.
He had already seen something like that online so he said thanks but no thanks and went on with his day!
Didn't Know How To Play
Strip poker is a game that really does not have anything to do with poker.
This man did not know that and said no to the opportunity to play it with a girl that he liked!
