30 Times People Hilariously Failed To Notice That Someone Was Obviously Hitting On Them
However perfect or imperfect your lives are, dear Pandas, there’s one thing that unites us—regrets. These come in as many flavors as Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, but probably the nastiest of all are regrets related to missed relationship opportunities. It’s sad and hilarious at the same time to realize how many times people missed out on love and passionate kisses because they naively misread the situation.
New York-based comedian David Drake shared how he completely didn’t get the very obvious hint back in a high school sleepover that the girl he liked was trying to seduce him by tickling him. He only realized the truth later and keeps thinking about the lost opportunity. His Twitter followers then shared their own similar experiences, and the combined awkwardness and secondhand embarrassment are so big, you might just say ‘oh no, no, no, no, no, no no!’ aloud, Pandas.

When you’re done with this list, Bored Panda has another post about obvious hints that people failed to notice right here.

Guys might still not get the hint cause a girl telling you directly that she wants to f*@K U might be so unbelievable to some they think it is a prank.
Comedian David’s post got more than 95.4k likes and was retweeted several thousand times. But the biggest victory wasn’t the impressive numbers. No. The victory was getting people to open up about the moments of regret that still haunt them to this very day. And let’s not forget the comedy gold hidden between the lines of these tweets.
The thread is perfect proof that far more people have the types of regrets that sometimes keep us awake at night than you’d think.
Flirting with someone is one thing, but it’s also important to consider where the relationship might go afterward. Previously, Bored Panda spoke with dating and relationship expert Dan Bacon about how to tell if the person you met is someone that you would like to marry.
“When you meet your wife, you know you want to be with her and only her. There’s no question in your mind about that. However, that doesn’t mean that you know you want to marry her from day one though,” he explained to us.
Yeah. Cause McDonald's or other fast food restaurants are known for customer services...
“You know you are ready to marry a woman if you have never thought of breaking up with her for real. I say ‘for real’ because sometimes a couple will have fights in the early days and threaten a breakup, or temporarily think about breaking up in the heat of the moment, but then change their mind,” the expert noted.
“It’s only a problem if a guy secretly wishes he had a different woman, regularly imagines breaking up with his girlfriend and falling in a love with a new woman, or worries that his girlfriend probably isn’t the right woman for him,” Dan told Bored Panda.
After I read this I hug a chair in my room for 5 minutes with my hands arround it. Than I kissed it and it kissed back. After 5 minutes of huggin even chairs are kissing back. But we can never know if she'd get mad. You are right... :)
some of these are innocently adorable, you my dude, are dumb as a box of rocks. THREE TIMES???
And us girls, as we think it was SO OBVIOUS and, therefore, have been rejected, never try again because we think that was your polite way to reject us... :(
“In cases like those, she’s not the one for him and he will almost certainly not be willing to do what it takes to make the marriage work in the long run, which will result in cheating or a divorce at some point.”
For the dating expert, marriage means finding the right person to be with for life. He also shared with us that it’s vital not to give in to peer pressure.
“If you’re going to get married, it has to be with the right girl. You shouldn’t ever marry just for the sake of it, to impress family or friends, or to do what others are doing,” he warned.
“A family member of mine got married because his friends were all getting married, so he followed along with their lead. He then ended up going through a painful divorce 5 years into his marriage after having two children. He and his ex-wife still aren’t on good terms to this day because she is bitter about what happened.”
This is bad advice in general though even if it worked for them. I've met many guys who think I'm just playing "hard to get" when I'm really not interested. If you don't say yes it's generally a no, and you should take it that way (even if a clear "no" is better).
The assumption underlying many of these is that all guys should be DTF anytime a woman wants to, even if she's a stranger. That seems kind of gross.
Ok, i got to say he sounds quite rude. How do you bring home someone, let them sit alone and make food only for yourself?

Guys - obviously you didn't ~feel~ it in these situations. There's nothing wrong with going home, turning down an invitation from a girl, not getting hints. You were obviously not ready. Don't see it as a "missed chance". You both didn't vibe, and just making out or f*cking just because there's this opportunity is not really cool or manly.
Yea. I kinda had a situation like this. There was a girl in a school course, and they did attendance of all classes every morning, so we only saw eachother there. One morning our eyes met and kept meeting. And we both smiled and blushed. Later that week a friend of hers asked for my number. Which I rejected, since I was so afraid of anyone doing prank calls or fooling with my number, that I didn’t give the number. That was that. I am not that sad though. Around that time I got to know another girl, which I fell in love with 1 1/2 months later, and she became my first girlfriend. We are together 16 years now, and to us we were glad that we actually never had anyone else before us. Sometimes I do this butterfly effect thinking, but my now wife brought me to places (literally and metaphorically) I am sure no one on earth could have achieved that. Also moved countries which might have saved my life, long story. So sometimes it’s just meant not to be?

Actually I like this a whole lot more than the polar opposite, where a woman can't talk to a guy about the weather without him thinking she is really into him and absolutely wants to do him in the club bathroom right now. Guys, just because you are male doesn't mean you have to jump at every opportunity to get laid or you are somehow "unmanly". As Kaa said, something about the situation obviously didn't work for you, so you subconsciously passed. That is perfectly fine, too!
Given the number of posts about guys who mistake someone being nice for leading them on and then can't take no for an answer, this was wholesomely refreshing.
