I'll have a drink for you. I met a girl this week. We talked and flirted for 3 days then she texted me this morning saying she was going to try again with her ex after theyve been broken up for 2 years.

At least it wasn't 3 months. She didn't tell me she was getting back with her ex, she broke up with me then a week later she was back with him...but I secretly suspected she would do that....

One time I was in Baltimore and met this incredibly cute creature with pouty lips, sparkling eyes, and a sassy pixie cut. We talked for a while, then I realized that "she" was a boy of about 14. Lol. Beer.

[–]Tenugui 2 points3 points ago

Damn dude... that must have been a shock

[–]JimmyJamesMac 3 points4 points ago

It was hilarious, actually! My friends with my thought I'd struck gold, and were shocked that I had the nerve to approach such a sassy looking "girl". After I realized what was up, I stayed and chatted for a bit, said "well good luck in school", and walked away casually. I didn't tell my friends it was a dude until we were out of ear shot because I didn't want him to think we were laughing at him. They busted up laughing, and kept saying "no fucking way! are you sure???"

Oh. I don't know if I translate that correctly, but in Germany we have a saying that goes something like

Western translation: Just because he's on a diet does not mean he can't read a menu

[–]Omega_Borealis 1 point2 points ago

Cinemagraph gone wrong.

[–]indi50 3 points4 points ago

That's too bad. I met a man in a bar - two groups of friends got together and met there, he was part of the other group so we had mutual friends. He was there "with" a woman in particular. Both of them made a point to tell me that they were just friends. Spent the evening flirting and laughing. At the end of the night, the woman friend asked if I'd gotten his number, I said no, but he had my e-mail.

We exchanged a few flirty e-mails. In one he mentions being out with the other woman friend for dinner. A few days later, a mutual friend said she thought he was married, but she wasn't sure, he might be divorced. So I ask him.

He admits to being married and denies flirting with me, says we can only be friends. I say fine but no flirting. He flirts again. I tell him to take a hike.

At no point during the first night does he or his friend mention his wife. The friend is acting in a very "wing man" manner. At no point during several e-mails does he mention his wife, but does mention the friend. It was very bizarre.

[–]DamtheMainStream 1 point2 points ago

Swingers.

[–]indi50 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it has crossed my mind that the friend and the guy were trolling for a third party. Even if he wasn't married to someone else on top of that, its just not my thing.

[–]Jaspr 10 points11 points ago

I realize this is r/funny and I lol'd at your photo....

at what point in the evening was he supposed to mention he was engaged?

at what point is it not presumptuous to presume that the person you are talking to is interested in you romantically?

[–]gotting2[S] 56 points57 points ago

how about when you're talking about tattoos and when describing your tattoo you mention that you can't show it to him right now (mines on my shoulder blade but because of the dress I was wearing I couldn't have shown it to him without taking my dress off) and he responds with, "well maybe I'll see it later,"? Was it fair at that point to presume the romantic interest?

[–]bigbluemofo 34 points35 points ago

Regardless of who perceives what as flirting, it's suspicious that in all that time he doesn't make even one casual, passing reference to the most significant person in his life. Honestly, how does it not come up? Dude knew what was up and was playing a game.

[–]indi50 8 points9 points ago

That is exactly right. Whenever I have been in a relationship and meet new people - especially men and there is even the slightest chance that anyone could get the "wrong idea" - I always make a point to mention my SO. But even when I'm not purposely doing it, it generally comes out anyway. How do talk about general life stuff (as opposed to a work meeting or something) for hours and never mention someone who's center place in your life.

So either he's playing games or he shouldn't be engaged because he has no interest in his fiance or anything they do together.

[–]PrimeIntellect 1 point2 points ago

Yes, and I bet he really wanted to do it too, but wised up at the last minute. Hitting on women is an uncontrollable instinct like eating or breathing

[–]Pnewustink 1 point2 points ago

You have to keep stretching your flirting muscle because if you and your girl break up you can't just start flirting cold you could pull a hammy

[–]Jaspr 2 points3 points ago

I honestly do not know....

I've seen people interacting with one another and people interpret things so differently....intuition is a tricky thing.

I know people who speak to other people and almost always sound like they're flirting and they earnestly don't mean to.

I know other people who are oblivious and don't realize they're being flirted with.

I know people try to flirt with other people and fail at it.

I guess you meant that this fellow was flirting with YOU and not the other way around as I assumed from the title.

If I was at a party and a girl was seemingly flirting with me I would most definitely not immediately blurt out that I was engaged and the only time I would tell her so is if she tried to kiss me or something that went over the line from just talking.

[–]gotting2[S] 10 points11 points ago

Fair enough, I was most definitely being flirted with, and also flirting back...finding out he was engages was just very surprising to me. Our conversation went beyond just outgoing, new pal conversation.

[–]mybadselves 0 points1 point ago

It's not flirting until he engages.

[–]oniongasm 1 point2 points ago

It would seem he already has.

[–]slizoth 0 points1 point ago

I loL'd, but this part...

"I know other people who are oblivious and don't realize they're being flirted with."

Yeah, I've totally done that before. If you really wanna know if it's flirting or not just go in for a kiss, quick way to find out if you're wasting your time.

[–]kosuth -4 points-3 points ago

If I weren't at work I'd determine whether or not you do have said tattoo ;)

[–]Toyotaobsession -3 points-2 points ago

We need pics of said tattoo FOR SCIENCE!

[–]monkeypickle 19 points20 points ago

Just say "I'd really like to masturbate to your image" and be done with it. No need to sully up science's good name.

I don't usually masturbate to tattoos.

But when I do they are on boobs.

[–]Toyotaobsession 5 points6 points ago

Lol reddit isn't feeling my jokes today.

Ok I'll be honest with you, I have the countless porn sites on the Internet, google images, and r/gonewild. I'm not that hard up for masturbation material.

But hell downvote away! I'm a big boy I can take it lol.

[–]JohnComplains 1 point2 points ago

This never works, and you sound like a creep, even if you are joking. Please stop.

[–]n0rs3n0rdic -1 points0 points ago

lol you're so easy to manipulate

[–]Aaawkward 1 point2 points ago

I can't upvote you enough.

I'm one of those people who unintentionally flirts with people most of the time (and I get heaps of crap from my friends for this) and I can't really help it. It's not conscious flirt on my part, more like this ridiculous extroverted need to talk with people. What others perceive as flirting on my part is just me enjoying to talk and get to know people. It doesn't really help that I'm a very physical person which is also often seen as flirting. The final straw is that I don't mind throwing a innuendo or two into a conversation mostly because it's just plain fun for all.

This has led to more than a few occasions where I've been accused of misleading or of being a tease but it's just, well, it's just the way I am with people. It has led to a few moments where a someone takes me aside and tells me that they/person X has a thing for me/wonders what kind of games I'm playing.

It's not something I can really help. I do play it down sometimes and keep myself from being overly friendly with people but then I feel like I'm suffocating myself and other times (most times to be honest) I just let it go and try not to cause too many misunderstandings and live with the ones I've caused.

[–]Stembio 0 points1 point ago

Fairly quickly. Mentioning your engagement is totally normal even to people who you aren't romantically interested in. A casual "My fiancee and I really like blah blah whatever the topic is" early in the conversation keeps these misunderstandings from happening without being presumptuous.

[–]wojovox 2 points3 points ago

I flirted with a girl all semester and was under the impression there was something between us. I just learned she has a kid and has been married for 4 years and she's a Jesus freak.

Did not see any of that coming.

[–]Clauderoughly 6 points7 points ago

Yeah I feel your pain. Here is another perspective

I am a married man, have the ring n everything.

I am in an open relationship, so I am allowed to flirt and play around if I wanted to.

What I have discovered is that women find a wedding ring a massive turn on... except when the guy is in an open relationship, and they realize the wife is 100% ok with any possible sexy times.

I have had some near misses, when I have been overly honest about things. "

What will your wife think ? giggle

She'd be totally cool with it.. open relationship.

At that point, I think I would have got a better reaction if I had told them I had a massive case of herpes

tl:dr Women are weird.

[–]Geminii27 0 points1 point ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that fake wedding rings are a thing.

[–]filorenzo 0 points1 point ago

a friend of mine wears one constantly. he "meets" ladies all the time...

[–]stoopidquestions 1 point2 points ago

Are you really so narcissistic to think that they're all actually after you just because they're flirting with you? Sometimes it is fun to flirt with an obviously married person because it's safe; it's a good way to affirm our own attractiveness, while at the same time not actually pursuing any sexual relationship. The sexual tension often is the most fun part of flirting. When you take away any questions about your intentions you've both made it more dangerous (if the woman wasn't all that serious to begin with) and taken away the fun part, so what's the point of flirting with you any more?

[–]Clauderoughly 0 points1 point ago

I am talking scenarios that are way past flirting... like heavy necking..

[–]stoopidquestions 1 point2 points ago

Well, then maybe some women just like a challenge? Seriously, you're saying "women are weird" when the women you are talking about are the kind who would hook up with a man wearing a wedding ring; any woman who does that is a bit crazy to begin with, you shouldn't be surprised when they act even crazier.

[–]carsonfayleg 5 points6 points ago

Sometimes it's fun to flirt if you're off the market, but have some common sense. Five minutes is fine... five hours is not. What did you actually say when he told you?

[–][deleted] ago

[–]carsonfayleg -1 points0 points ago

Maybe it's best that you not "drink wine and listen to music" with single women at all. You put yourself into an intimate situation and that got her hopes up.

[–]pseud0nym 0 points1 point ago

just be glad you found out at the end of the night, and not the next morning when you went to call him and found out the number that he gave and enthusiastically told you to call, was some random stranger. In addition to being engaged.

Repeat over and over again and you have a small idea of what it is like to be a guy meeting girls. Enjoy!

[–]astartledgrandpa 0 points1 point ago

after seeing this gif a crap-ton of times, I JUST noticed the woman's weird shirt/face distortion behind Kristen Wiig

[–]dogandcatinlove -1 points0 points ago

So, after 5 hours, you were expecting what? Not trying to be mean, just wondering.

[–]gotting2[S] 5 points6 points ago

I wasn't necessarily expecting anything physical...this might sound creepy but I was super excited because I have never connected with someone that quickly before. The way we were interacting seemed like we had known each other for years, and I found myself thinking, "wow, this could really go somewhere." Until I found out he was getting married to someone.

[–]femaleopinion 2 points3 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/uJ0Pz.png

[–]DejaBoo 0 points1 point ago

I find myself wanting to say, "now you know how guys often feel." Many women seem way more open to chatting when they have a SO. I think its a feeling safe to be themselves, which is cool, but often leads to your scenario.

Not saying it was right, and certainly he shouldn't have said, "whoa, you got the wrong impression" when the tatoo came up.

Best of luck next time :)

[–]dogandcatinlove -1 points0 points ago

Ohhhh. That is nice, but it's best to avoid thoughts like that until you are actually asked out by the guy. Even then...expectations for the future get you nowhere. Don't be disheartened. You had a nice time at a wedding, which is a lot more than most people can say!

[–]remhawk99 -3 points-2 points ago
