Men of reddit, what's the biggest sign you have missed from a girl?
- Her: I'm having such a shit day!
Me: Anything I can do to help?
Her: *slides up in front of me* Should we start with R rated or keep it PG?
Me: Let's keep it Disney, homo *laughs like a dumbass*

- I took home economics in High School because I love to cook. I was the only guy in a class of 30.
Several years after high school I ran into a lady that was in the class with me. She confessed that every girl in that class had a crush on me at some point during the year.
So, I missed all the signs, from 29 women, over a year, where I was the only guy in the class. lol

- When I first started dating my ex wife, she and her two roomates couldn't go back to campus because their dorms were still closed for Christmas break. So they came to stay the night at my apartment. We weren't even dating yet, but we both knew we were into each other. After her two roommates went to bed in my roommates room, she and I watched a movie, slowly started moving towards each other, and eventually had a make out session. After an hour or so she said she was tired. I told her to go sleep in my room, and I would sleep on the couch. After a couple minutes she came out and said "I'm cold, it would be nice for something to keep me warm", to which I replied "oh no problem, I've got an electric blanket in my closet". I proceeded to get it for her, kinda tuck her in, grave her a kiss and said "well, good night, can't wait to see ya in the morning". I then went and slept on the couch.

- In high school while on the baseball team, we stopped at Culvers on the way back from an away game. Some girl asked for my autograph. I signed a piece of paper for her.
Teammates then razzed me for not leaving my phone number. Sigh....

- In high school, my very very attractive neighbor and I were sitting on her couch watching a movie. She was eating gummy bears. She dropped four gummy bears in a row down her very low cut shirt between her large and pushed up boobs, and then asked me to get them for her, because her nails weren't finished drying. Four times in a row, I reached between her breasts and pulled out her gummy bear, and then she ate it out of my hand rather than taking it from me.
I though "This bitch is so clumsy... At least I get to touch some boobs though. I wonder if she knows I'm enjoying it."
She knew.
Edit: Fun fact, she grew up and started doing porn. [Layla Starz](http://www.emo-porn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/44.jpg) (95% SFW)

- Back in high school, there was a girl in the school play I was in that was *very* interested in me.
One time when the makeup artists were practicing on me, she came into the room, stood in front of me, and stripped down to her undies; all the while staring straight into my eyes. All I could think was, "Well...this is awkward..."
To be fair, it was a Christian high school & she was known to be a bit of a flirt; so I never thought anything of her "hints"...

- Dunno, I missed it

- "Wanna hang out in my room?"
"Nah. I have to go to the computer lab and work on my project."
"Are you sure? It'll be fun."
"Yeah. Sorry! Maybe next time."
"You could work on your project in my room. My roommate will be out for a few hours."
"That sounds like you'd be really bored. Haha. Thanks though."
"..... Well, if you change your mind, here's my number."
"Cool. Don't get your hopes up though."
An hour later, "Holy shit! I got a girl's number!"
Later that week, figured out she had a thing for me. It didn't work out

- She said I "looked good wet" after we got rained on and all I could muster up was "Uh.. thanks."

- I asked a girl to prom and we did some school projects together at her house and she would call me from time to time. Eventually she stopped calling. I didnt really think anything of it until another friend of mine said that the girl said she and I weren't dating anymore.
Not only did I miss signs that we were dating, but I apparently missed thr signs that we broke up.
I thought we were just friends who were kinda attracted to each other, but nothing official or even romantic at that point.

- I "friend zoned" myself hard with a girl I had very strong feeling for. We had gone to school together and I had dated another classmate of mine for years.
Not all that long after I broke up with the girl I had been dating, I started chatting and hanging out with the new girl. Even when we were just reconnecting on social media, things were light and flirty. She, for instance, would say things like how she thought smart guys were sexy, when I would talk my experiences in college.
When we first hung out after that, she casually mentioned that she wore her platform shoes so I wouldn't be so much taller than her (I was over a foot taller than her and we had previously joked about our vast height difference). But I missed it all. We hung out for over a year and there were frequent signs like that. We even drove out to the local "haunted" sites and she'd hold my hand as we walked through the moonlit night.
What's my excuse? Could I even have one? My only other relationship, prior to that. was with someone who was as much a FWB than she was a GF. We sort of fell into a relationship. So I had very little actual dating experience and I had no idea, really, how to make a move.
Later on, I eventually figured out that I just need to make myself make a move. If a woman agrees to, for example, see a movie with just you, odds are she likes you. So just make a move, see what happens. Ever since I figured that out, it's always paid off.
