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.

i know that but all i'm saying is how blindingly obvious does the hint have to be before it's recognised? -

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?
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... -

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"? -

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 -

In my case; ****ing obvious. Obvious to the point it cannot possibly mean anything else no matter how much you try and twist it.

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. -

The usually unified men and women of TSR will be torn apart by this thread.
Good work OP; and that is a hint for bad work. -
