my very sweet friend did not realize that the girl who was talking to him for 2 hours at a party last weekend was interested. I want to reiterate they spoke for 2 entire hours and he didn’t realize she wanted to kiss him until he was told 10 minutes ago

in his defense a few years ago I talked to a guy I was VERY into for hours just assuming he wasn’t interested. at the end of the night he said “I’m going home, you coming?” and I said “oh is there an after party?” i’ll never forget the look he gave me I think I broke his brain

This tweet isn't going to help because the issue isn't lack of awareness. It's lack of experience. The experienced men will likely agree with you, but the inexperienced men will continue to make these mistakes unwittingly due to a lack of familiarity with the opposite sex. In the absence of instinct, these men defer to logic. And logically speaking: there are many reasons that don't involve romantic interest for why a woman would talk to you for two hours.

I am baffled by this response. it is just not that deep! it’s a cute story about my friend missing a signal. it’s not a “mistake” or an “issue” it’s just a silly thing that happened. it happens to me sometimes! it’s just part of life!

I have talked to a woman at a party for 2 hours who didn’t want to kiss me! ;) It happens! Also she could have kissed him! No guy is going to be that offended by a kiss!

Speaking for two entire hours shouldn't indicate anything other than an interesting conversation.

It is better this way than the other way around. It’s the worst when a man assumes a woman is interested when she is, in fact, not.

Guy’s just standing there, chatting, thinking it’s about music or movies, totally missing the way she’s leaning in, laughing too hard, eyes on his mouth. Two hours of signals, and he’s still lost in the sauce, needs a friend to spell it out after the fact. Some people need a neon sign – or a kiss right to the face.

Sounds like my spirit animal… once had a girl finally give up with me and say “what do you want me to do, write you a letter asking you to f**k me”

It was a big party. So crowded that if he exhaled too fast it might push her over.and if he tried to move he would step on her feet. Besides she had a lot to say on the draft strategy of his favorite team and on his school term paper topic.

Doesn’t that mean his mind wasn’t in the gutter tho & that he was having a genuine conversation with her? 🤔

Good men hold a belief that no one wants them/is interested, until/unless they explicitly say so. We need to be like this by default. It is a sort of defense mechanism for the 19 out of 20 times you will be rejected, shield against embarrassment disappointment etc, but it’s also a favor to the ladies because most lovely women get more attention than they want. So we will not be piling on until you say we should.

This is extremely normal. 90% of guys either assume every nice girl is interested or that every interested girl is just being nice.
