Brought on by my going to see Suicide Squad last night, and this convo with my BFF when I got home:

Me: I retuuuuuurn~ :|

Her: Okaeri~

Me: *had a chatty cathy next to her*

Her: An actual one or another guy trying to hit on you?

Me: Um… in retrospect… I think it was b.

Her: XD

So, how oblivious are you, FS? I've also had my father/brother point out that someone was hitting on me and not just being nice, as well as a co-worker too. So I'd rate myself pretty oblivious. XD

One time I was at the laundromat and this guy asked me for help using the washers and I was like "The instructions are printed right there on the lid?" He acted like this wasn't helpful and kept asking me for help. Since there was no indication of a language barrier or mental disability, I brushed him off with "They're very simple machines, you can just read the instructions." Later that day, I realized he might have been hitting on me, since I've sometimes seen "flirting tips" for guys that suggest asking a woman for help with basic adult shit and acting helpless. Protip: we don't actually find that attractive.

Then there was the time a security guard in a shopping mall food court kept staring at me and I'm thinking "What? What am I doing that looks suspicious??" and then realized maybe he thought I was cute.

I wouldn't say I'm oblivious when people are trying to engage me in conversation or actively flirting, but if they're just staring at me or trying to sue some overly complicated pickup technique, it just comes off as weird behavior to me and I wonder if they are OK.

I don't get when people hit on me. At all.

It's funny you say that because my whole life, I've been like, "Why doesn't anyone flirt with me? Why doesn't anyone like me?" and lately I've been wondering if I just wasn't picking up on cues and clues...

I'm really oblivious too. I've been utterly confused about why guys were talking to me until I mentioned it to friends later.

And there's a friend who told another friend of mine that he thinks I'm really pretty and was worried that I might have noticed him staring at me a lot. I haven't noticed a thing even after knowing to look for it, though I keep forgetting to because I get caught up in other things.

A guy outside a shop straight out asked me for my number. I thought he was a security guard for the shop and that I'd done something wrong...

Sometimes when my fiancee and I are out, somebody will be really chatty with me and she'll point out afterwards that they were flirting with me. It's never something that occurs to me.

I live in a cat-call happy city and its summer. I notice. That said more subtle forms--or, like, someone I actually know--fly right over my head.

Your BFF is a weeb.

Your face is a weeb.

Your mom is a weeb.

...Wait, what are we talking about?

Weebles. They wobble but they won't fall down.

According to my bf and a bunch of our friends a guy in my class at uni used to repeatedly hit on me and I never ever noticed, i just thought he was being friendly. So I am very oblivious.

Guy hung around a lot, came to see me and invited be to join a couple clubs he was in. Guy asked me to the movies and I asked who would be going with us. He said it would be just the two of us and showed up at my dorm to get me, then paid for my ticket. I thanked him for paying my way and said I had fun. Guy called me a few times and said things like the sunset "reminded me of you".

Guy then asked me to go with him to a banquet ceremony-thing for his fraternity and we went. In the car on the way he said "thanks honey" when I pointed out the car door was still open - I was surprised, but shrugged it off. I was surprised when he paid for my food and thanked him after he dropped me off back at my room. Guy calls me while his family is visiting and tries very hard to get me to come meet his family - but I could hear a dog in the background and I'm terrified of them, so I said as much and also that I didn't want to intrude on a family visit.

Guy never came around again.

Three years later it clicks that I may have possibly sort-of been dating the dude? I had no idea and am still not sure if I'm reading into things. No hand holding, no kissing attempts, no "do you want to go on a date" no "I like you a lot, would you like to be dating" ever happened...but. I just thought all the hanging out was as friends.

Jesus, it sounds like that guy had way bigger problems than you.

A co-worker once said something to me that I realized later was flirty--but given I thought he was still with his girlfriend, I didn't really pay it much attention. Only realized later that he'd been without a gf at the time. Of course, by the time I clued in, he had a new gf. I just don't expect guys to be that way with/about me.
