Relationships

You know when you can't tell if someone is dropping hints or not? Bluh, I'm so dense.

...Or they're being way too subtle.

[ZeldaFan]

In my experience, guys are usually pretty dense, so it's not just you. Subtle hints don't work so a girl often has to just come right out and say "I like you" or "Let's hang out" or whatever

But honestly I wish guys would do that too!

The problem for many people is that they don't want to misinterpret something that wasn't a "hint" as a "hint," and thus come across the wrong way.

Hahaha! Nope, I can tell if someone's hinting at something no matter how slight it is... So long as I don't like 'em myself. If I do, I don't know what they're doing anymore. XD

Seriously, my friends come to me to ask if someone we know potentially likes 'em. I've not been wrong to date.

So things between cute guy friend and I didn't work out. He told me we're just friends, but hey, he's still a cool dude and I'm happy we're able to still hang out and be pals.

'tis always more fish in the sea.

[Saria]

At least you're still friends, that's always good. =D It's a lot better than not being able to talk to them anymore. Keeping them in your life is good enough.

[Nebbles]

Indeed! We're still gonna be great pals and continue to hang out, so no harm is done at all, and that's all that matters.

[the_last_sheikah]

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out Nebbles, but hey, friends is still good, and you seem to have made out better that most would have in that situation.  So yeah, yay friendship!

[Nebbles]

I mean, he just said "I don't want to lead you on, we're just friends here" so I was like "welp, that answers my questions" so it's all settled pretty much.

[DrP]

That's good he was open and forthcoming with it.

I know of so many people that just string someone along until the other person breaks down and freaks out. (I know because I've been there -_-)

[the_last_sheikah]

Ouch.  Sudden, but important to say/hear.

Preach it brother, me too.

[Nebbles]

Well, I had confronted him about the lack of communication that was happening, and he said that. Which is good, you know, so I wasn't being strung along for months thinking I was gonna get a date here. That type of honesty is good, yo! He wasn't rude about it.

[the_last_sheikah]

I'm glad you have a positive outlook about all this.

[Nebbles]

It's not like I was hopelessly in love or anything, it was a crush yeah, but I'm still keeping him as a friend and we're both not awkward about it. I take this as a good thing - we're friends, it's not awkward, I'll move on and find another crush sooner or later.

I like being positive. It gives me a better outlook on things.
