Guys: Taking a hint...
As the title suggests, what's up with you guys and taking a hint??
If it's not "please leave me alone" or "i really want to see you" no matter how hard we try, you guys never seem to pick up on a hint.....
Is this down to just bad hint giving skills, or just an inability to recognise them???

Reverse argument against girls is equally valid.

Guys are not not mind readers you know!
i know that but all i'm saying is how blindingly obvious does the hint have to be before it's recognised?

Post a few of what you think are hints then it'll be a bit clearer

To the point when its not a hint and when you are actually saying what you actually mean? Why can't girls ever do that?
Like if we don't reply to your texts we aren't interested so stop texting!

Sometimes we don't always want to be the ones to suggest going out, or doing something though, start to feel a bit of a pest after a while....
for instance meeting up, it'd be nice if sometimes they took it upon themselves to ask if you fancy meeting up instead of always being the one to suggest it...

That's a load of complete bull!! Just cos someone doesn't reply to one text certainly doesn't mean they're not interested, big difference between this and not replying to lots of them...

Exactly what I mean.
Someone not replying may not mean they are not interested.
It may mean they have no credit, it may mean they are just forgetful (I am!), it may mean their phone is off, etc etc.
In that situation why don't you just send a text back saying "sorry but I am not interested in you"?

In my case; ****ing obvious. Obvious to the point it cannot possibly mean anything else no matter how much you try and twist it.
Here's some advice for you: be blunt. Bluntness is good, it helps people know where you stand and what your position is.
Hints are nigh on useless most of the time, at least in my experience they are anyway

speaking as a 20 year old virgin who has never kissed a girl before, i am unsure if i should make a move on a girl unless she gives obvious hints or tells me outright that she likes me.
i dont want to appear desperate or be slapped in the face for making a move if she didnt want me to. i stay on the side of caution and if i think she might or might not want me to make a move, i will wait until the signals are more obvious.

Aye, over the last 3 days, I have received 3 texts from a friend, read them, but couldn't read at that point, or was doing something and was going to reply to them later. Finally replied to all 3 texts today

Not really. I'd rather that than have a girlfriend complain that I'm **** at taking hints (which has happened before).
Oh, we get the hints. We just like the power 
just tell us.....otherwise we won't know
