Did someone ever like you, and you didn't know because you thought they were just being nice, or vice versa?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, a shit ton of times

Yeah, a few times

It was vice versa, because I didn't really show people signs

Nah, even if they were being nice, I was able to tell if they actually liked me like that or not

[Account]

Υes.
He even told me upfront that he liked me and I thought he was messing with me and I completely dismissed him.
I dismissed him for two reasons:
1. The possibility he was messing with me.
2. It could never work for various reasons and yes, I liked him back.


But I am odd and analytical and I think of possibilities a lot.

Yes when I was in middle school and high school my current boyfriend who was just my friend at the time gave me signs that he had feelings for me for a long time but I was oblivious to the signs because I thought he was just being the sweet person that he is and it wasn't until we graduated high school and started dating that I caught on to the signs

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

In retrospect, it was a long road from totally clueless to very attentive. I didn't even chose that road, it just happened and I kinda remember a progression lol

[paledreams]

Yeah a shit ton of times because they seemed to be either female players or they just wanted to piss away the boredom of their work lol 😆 flirtin lol 👄😆

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the classic "are we just friends or is there something more?" dance! 😄 As a relationship coach, I've seen this happen quite a bit. People often mistake kindness for romantic interest or miss the subtle signals of someone crushing on them. I once had a friend who always complimented me and offered help, and it took ages to realize he was falling in love! It’s all about picking up those tiny hints and gut feelings, love. Trust your instincts, they never lie! 💖

[ihateTaylorSwift]

I did know
I was just a bitch back then
And didn't wanna accept
the boys
who weren't popular guys
I had like a type
and used to think I was too good lol

My ego issues

[Billlewis]

You were too good for 90% of men, then and now;)

[TsundereMatrix]

I had some confess many years later. I wasn’t all that surprised given how they would speak to me but at the same time I didn’t actually know they had a crush on me.

[NathanDavis]

yeah... that would happen often, and I didn't always realize it

but, most of the times it was just a crush, or infatuation

[midnightmoon05]

Yeah had that experience… I found out and kinda ran off… he messaged me saying I was elusive… oh well…

[PeachyPie93]

I think so with 3 people.. but I will never know 100% lol

[Extraterrestrial1999]

What made you think there may have been something there

[PeachyPie93]

Well the one guy I had a crush on, I could never talk comfortably to him but I could to his friends. He would always try to talk to me in all our classes but I would always freeze up lol.
Second guy we were friends and he was a bit perverted and I would always laugh at the things he said. But I would always end up meeting his eyes from across rooms and at parties I would see him watching me dancing I guess at the time I just didn't get why he was looking at me.
Third guy I am acquaintances with and even to this day he always will come see me and talk to me whenever we are at the same place. Like recently he was at my friends house and they were drinking in the basement and I was hanging out with my other friend upstairs and he came up just to talk to me and was asking me to go downstairs. I ended up not going down because it was all just guys down there lol.

[LostandFound__x]

Generally speaking it’s easy to tell if a guy likes you. By the way he looks at you, pays attention to you and what he says lol.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

That is the theory, and it's unquestionably right. But practice is a different world because (or thanks to) of internal psychology

[Darkest-Knight]

I found out quite a while after the fact. But yes there was one time that someone wanted more than just friendship. But I'm clueless. I had no idea. And looking back on it I still don't recall any signs.

[Nikki1989]

I wouldn't know. It is not something I waste time thinking about.

[MannMitAntworten]

I was guilty of being oblivious a LOT when I was younger when a girl liked me. I was in my later 20’s the last time I realized this had occurred.

[bobby_bush_eater]

I've had the classic naive one day it hits me in hindsight thing happen to me a few times for sure.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. I am a pursuer, but am basically blind when I am being pursued.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Logical, when one gender is designated as a pursuer, then there is no learning process happening for the case of being pursued

[Anonymous]

Probably.

But if I thought they were just being nice t Han how could I answer this question t ion. Because they didn't tell me so how could I ever know?

[itsmemarissa]

I’ve had a few confess years later that they used to which shocked me

[Anonymous]

Maybe, I don't know, I'm too shy with girls and I'm not sure what they mean.

[MoonFace2]

Ehhh nope.

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

Yes.
