Reject indirect, cue-based communication. Embrace direct, non-repentant "I want to have fuck with you".

Do you want some making fuck?

*If you're a woman. That's a good way to end up on a list if you're a man.

Bro. You don't ask this to random people. You need to build rapport. I have plenty of times vibed with people and then told them i got the hots for them and then we did the deed. It ain't too hard. Just be clear and upfront and make some vibe checks.

It's not too hard for you. If it was as easy as you say for everyone, nobody would be upvoting this post.

I want to have fuck with you.

For real though, a friend of mine recently (August) walked into a gas station and asked the girl working there if she was married. She said yes. He said, “You the type keep a man on the side?”

The next day he was in handcuffs. He’s a strange dude and he says things to women that I don’t think he should, so naturally, I doubted him.

He was charged with stalking, trespassing after being forbidden, and assault.

His lawyer managed to get the video from the store and the body cam video from the officer who responded. He brought the USB drive by a few days ago after the charges were dismissed so I could see the video. He doesn’t want his friends to think he’s a piece of shit.

I watched it. He said exactly what I said above and told her to have a good day, turned back around to say, “Good on you for being faithful. You ever get sick of him, remember me.” Was it nasty to say that? Absolutely. A crime? Absolutely not.

The body cam video was the most interesting part. The woman said, “He came in here and told me outright that he wanted to fuck me. I told him I was married and I figured that would be the end of it, just like with other creepy men. I asked him to please not come here while I’m working.” The cop interrupts, “Well that’s trespassing right there. I’ll git eem fer that too.” She continued, “Well, he had a massive erection and he stood here playing with it through his shorts. He wanted me to see it. He came over beside the counter and kind of stepped behind where I was at.” Cop interrupts again, “Ok so he actually came behind the counter?” “Not fully, but he did step back there about a step or two.” She replied. Cop says, “well ‘ats assault right there. I can charge em with that too. So did he take his penis out where you could see it? I’d like to charge him with indecent exposure too but unless you seen his penis, like, the flesh, I cain’t do that. I’m gonna git eem with stalkin’ too though.” She replied, “Well no, I didn’t see his actual penis, but he stood there rubbing it through his shorts and motioning his head for me to look at it. It was a big old boner. I was scared to death. He kept saying, “you know I can give it to you good, won’t you walk in the women’s bathroom with me.” and stuff like that. I called my husband and he came out here. When the guy came back a third time he walked in and walked right back out when he seen my husband.”

On the video he walked in, said, “Well, damn. I left my wallet at home. I’ll be right back.” Her husband said, “no, you won’t be right back. You ain’t welcome in here anymore.” He paused for a second and looked at him dumbfounded and said, “Well, alright. This ain’t the only gas station in town. Bye then.”

I watched the video from the gas station. None of it happened. Everything she said was pure fantasy. I spent from August until a few days ago thinking he was a total fucking creep. I can’t believe he was charged at all and I can’t believe the girl didn’t back out when the manager offered to get the video for the police. Oh, and the assault charge. He stepped behind the counter to reach over and grab a paper towel to clean coffee he spilled. He has been stopping there for 20 years and didn’t think it would be a problem.

She also said he didn’t pay for his coffee on the video so I’m surprised officer Doofy didn’t charge him with shoplifting too.

Us men gotta be careful. For real.

Women too, because assholes like the one she described to the officer do exist and women contend with them daily. Lying, dangerous women also exist too.

I’d be afraid to hit on a total stranger. I wouldn’t want to anyway because that’s not the type of person I am. If I were though, I’d be too afraid to do it. Every woman I’ve ever been with said something to me first. I never wanted to come off as a creep and I like women who assert themselves anyway.

Fortunately there was video and the charges were dropped.

I remember the time that a friend of mine was lying on a bed, looking me in the eye and saying "fuck me" and I somehow missed the hint.

Maybe she's Canadian and just being polite. You really can't know.

[–] unreachable@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

yeah, should be more straight instead.

like straddling them directly, instead just laying there with them, while saying it.

Damn, this reminds me of what happened to me. A girl I had the biggest crush on was lying in bed and saying take your shirt off and come over here. Back then I was super self-conscious about my body so I said: "Haha, why? No, I don't want to".

Years later I realized what she meant.

Do you wanna come up for a coffee?

Nah thanks, not in the mood for coffee

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 133 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I legit did this after a date once, though in my defence she asked me in for green tea and I don't like green tea lol.

She started to wonder if I was just very friendly and gay after that.

Fortunately I clarified the issue by marrying her.

[–] Abird1620@sh.itjust.works 66 points 10 months ago

You overreacted. You are definitely a closeted gay.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 51 points 10 months ago

Sounds like a proportionate way to solve the misunderstanding.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Which issue? The tea or the gay?

Man... in college I was in the bedroom of a girl I had a crush on and didn't take the hint. She'd invited me over to do homework together but never touched a book and took me to her bedroom. I still didn't get the hint.

We could be actively fucking and I'd still doubt if that's what she meant. I'd need something like a testimony under oath and corroborating opinions from three independent psychologists.

Hello, I am writing to you under the freedom of information act to ask if you are into me.

Just like others with a missed , obvious, opportunity.

I had a girl take me to a room, take her clothes off, and then just look at me and and ask "Well?"

I had no fucking clue what she meant or what to do so I just did nothing. She then changed into different clothes and left.

[–] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 67 points 10 months ago

It hurts just reading this

[–] ben16w@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

Maybe she wanted you to dress her?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 33 points 10 months ago

It took me 5 years to realize she did not actually need her PC fixed. I missed my only chance.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she just want you to check out her new invisible tattoo, can't be sure.

I remember an acquaintance was complaining about their computer turning off when they closed the lid, so I told her to hand it over and I'd see if I could fix it.

She said she'd buy me dinner to thank me, but my fix didn't really fix the problem, I just made the computer not sleep when you closed it, and so I didn't feel like it was worth a reward

She even asked a second time, it took me years to realize I unknowing (firmly) shot her down

[–] force@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

real, being neurodivergent makes this 10x as relatable

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 60 points 10 months ago

It's so hard to see past a belief that nobody could possibly by interested in you that way.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 41 points 10 months ago

Bruh i didn't even get it reading it the first time

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

If it helps folks feel better, successful relationships often require successful communication. If one is playing games and the other isn't getting it, that may be a good thing that the moment was missed; you weren't on the same wavelength and should probably pair with a better match.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 36 points 10 months ago

TIL I have a crush on everyone.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (11 children)

There was this one guy I was good friends with during my late teens, always taking pictures of us... Took me embarrassingly long to realise he had the gay hots for me. In my defense, I leaned way more hetero at the time.

this doesn't make sense tho, why would she say "talking to my crush is awful" to her crush? it doesn't seem reasonable

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 49 points 10 months ago

Testing the water!

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 25 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I think the second girl meant the first one acted weird and awkward around everybody, not just her crush, so it's not reasonable to conclude the second girl was the crush anyway.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 29 points 10 months ago (5 children)

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That's how perception works. She can't see how first girl acts when she's not there, because she wouldn't be there to see it.
