Seriously though. How many hints do you have to drop before they stop pretending they don't know what you're talking about!
Why are trolls so obvious?
wassup?
il go with the how many bikes answer so......however many u have already +1
No, we're just not telepathic, is all.
As for why we're so rubbish; well, can't answer that. Apparently God created Mayn first; he obviously mustuv ironed out the mistakes when he created Woman....
At least we post in the correct forum area - protocol young lady - CHAT FORUM
What are you talking about ? Give me another hint.
Seriously though. How many hints do you have to drop before they stop pretending they don't know what you're talking about!
Ooh, ooh, I think I know this one! Is it 4? It is, isn't it? Yay! Get in!!!
I don't get it.....
I'm not even going to pretend I'm the best person at saying what I want to say. But sometimes it just gets made even harder by the lack of response...
**** off to mumsnet...
I don't think you should judge the whole of the male population on the lower echelons you obviously mix in.
Che?
I don't think you should judge the whole of the male population on the lower echelons you obviously mix in.
no you're probably right. I sincerely apologise.
What Tucker said...we is edukated sofisticated men init.
Usually one hint is enough - secret present buying then takes place and you get a nice surprise. However, keep going on about it and he soon decides its not worth the effort and spends the money on a new bike instead.
I'll give you a hint - hints dont work. If you are trying to communicate with a man say what you've got to say and await a response.
Word to the wise...
He wasn't pretending he didn't know what you were talking about, he didn't know what you were talking about!
The most contented women I know are those that just come straight out and say things, no hints. We men don't get hints in case you hadn't guessed! Conversely I know quite a number of single girlies way into their 30's and they can't work out why they're getting old and unmarried... But would they ever even consider coming out with something rather than dropping hints?
I'll give you a hint... 😉
EDIT: Dammit, beaten by SBZ...
Fair enough. Should I take it from the lack of response to one hint that he's not really interested then?
Sorry, you're going to have to be MORE BLATANT on here too... I'm not getting the hints! 😉
You just dont get it do you!!!
The only way to find out if he is interested is to ask him the question.
I suspect the hint was made while he was asleep. Or drunk. Or watching Top Gear. Remember, clarity, eye contact, and simple words.
Ok then 5. My last offer.
maybe more context is needed.
without going into too many details, I really like him and have said so several times, with the response being, 'yeah you're not bad yourself'. which is nice, but I was kind of hoping for a bit more encouragement!
Ohhh! Is that what this thread is about?
Yeah...you have to be obvious. A man will mever believe you're interested until you've actually told him.
No! Just that he hasn't noticed your hint. Just ask him out!
I think you should expand on the issue at hand, what are you hinting at?? It may help us give advice on how to get through to your man.
OOOOh....more context..thanks...
See the "yeah, you're not bad yourself" thing it's a cue to jump him.
What SBZ said...
ASK HIM THE BLOODY QUESTION (whatever it maye be!)
If you mean sex (as I'm suspecting you possibly do but still haven't quite worked out yet), most "gentlemen" (not boys, oiks or yobs) will need more than a little encouragement as they definitely don't want to stuff up their chances of things going further by asking out of turn. To be fair, with both ex's of mine I had it pretty good, as after about the 4th date in each case they both practically raped me anyway (I got the hint that time!) so I didn't need to ask the question...
You're going to need to be a bit more forward I'm afraid, otherwise nothing (whatever it is, I might have got the wrong end of the stick but you insist on using hints still, which don't work!) is going to happen and you'll be stuck in a rut...
Hmmm, he's playing it cool? Worried about getting hurt? Doesn't have your riding skillz lexie? 😉
I'd kind've like to be a bit better than 'not bad' though!
but dose he understand what you mean by like? I always presume women just mean like as in you're a nice person rather than anything more.
To be fair, looking at your profile pic, I'd put you in the not bad category also. 😀
I'd kind've like to be a bit better than 'not bad' though!
That's a really good response!
Moon on a stick!
but dose he understand what you mean by like? I always presume women just mean like as in you're a nice person rather than anything more.
Really? I was always under the impression that you shouldn't appear too keen!
Doesn't have your riding skillz lexie?
I wish I could say no he doesn't.. but I can't!
I would say go for broke...sounds like you are being subtle because you don't know how he will react. He might not be sure what you mean so tell him, or ask him out for a date, not something that could be confused as mates hanging out.
Show him your boobs.
jump him ,that will get it across
Why are men so rubbish
Because we've got to be good at being something, and that's the easiest. 🙂
Really? I was always under the impression that you shouldn't appear too keen!
Different people different methods. I'm never 100% even after the first kiss. I've been with my current girlfriend about 6 years and I'm pretty sure she like me now.
Just noticed you don't want to appear to keen...just show him
one boob.
Akimbo is one of the finest words in the english language.
Some guys find that the expectation of initiating every relationship and shouldering the responsibility of being laughed out of the place quite disquieting.
Just a thought...
F*ck it. I'm going out on my bike tomorrow, that'll sort my head out 🙂
Lick his ear. And if that don't get the desired result, then bite his face.
Really? I was always under the impression that you shouldn't appear too keen!
It's about getting the balance right. If you dote on every word he says, and come across like you have no identity of your own, then he's very likely to be put off. If you come across as confident, intelligent, interesting and witty in your own right, then if he fancies you he'll be paying you enough attention even if he's not great with words.
Most of us men are crap at taking a compliment, be glad he said something back. I've been known to feel a bit on the spot when girls have complimented me before (it has happened, maybe only once or twice ever, but it has happened!) and came up with the response of... Wait for it... This is a good one... "Thanks" 😕
When things are right, these things normally just flow and you don't really have to ask one another anything. You sure he's definitely interested in that way? He may well be, but may just be the world's most shy person. I'm terrible at knowing when to compliment a girl myself, as I may well be sat across the table from her, fancying the pants off her, hoping that something is going to happen sooner or later, but don't know what to say to her myself without sounding either too full on or creepy, or just not interested in the slightest...
Find a low pressure situation to maybe slip a question in perhaps, one where he's not concentrating solely on you but on doing something else as well (not bike riding if he rides bikes already)...
If he doesn't ride a bike then he ain't worth it...
Turn up naked, bring beer. HTH
Maybe he's gay.
I've been rejected by women in the past who must have been lesbians.
Just ASK HIM OUT. What is the worst that can happen?
I went on a first date with my now missus and we both missed our respective trains home. We wound up in a hotel room and she dispensed with all her clothes on the pretext that she wanted them fresh for the morning, I was so concerned about being a gent that I gave her a t-shirt...until she leapt on me and banished all doubt from my mind.
If she reads this (and she's an STWer) I'm dead.
Sometimes subtlety ain't the best policy.
Just jump on his bones.
Top tip: most men only have one bone you'll want to be jumping on.
I still have one of the first text messages I got from my (now) wife, saying how she wanted to keep it platonic. Ha haha haha ha.
Think of all the things that don't happen because you don't try.
Why are women so ****ing crap and annoying...
You've probably been dropping hints in the wrong forum....like this post.
Men like it when they're told in plain (or dirty) language. It's a massive turn on (for me).
Tell him very directly what you want, you'll be surprised with the result.
lexie, I'll give you a hint. He's not into you.
This thread is *exactly* what a man's experience with a woman is like. I bet the OP thinks she's made her point, plain and simple, it's obvious what she is after and yet nobody, not even the women who have posted since, has the faintest clue what she is after. Because she's not actually said it. And even my post now, she'll be thinking 'what an idiot. He must be the thickest person on the planet to not understand what I'm after, I've thought it a thousand times, what more does he want?'
SAY THE FREAKING THING
it's bumsex isn't it ?
Why are men so rubbish ❓
Interesting questions, I didn't bother reading what you wrote after the heading, sorry about that 😀
However I will try and answer your question.
You need to turn us on first 💡
Or we simply don't function properly 😉
Try saying it with your mouth full ! 😮
Has she asked yet?
I wish all the women who fancy me would come out and say so. Don't know who they are otherwise.
Saying that Lexie, 'You're nice to be with' isn't specific. I have a friend who's female and 19 and went to school with my son. We go out to the pub, and have long walks, and hug each other and say 'I love you' but we're only friends. She has a long term boyfriend as well, by the way.
Seriously though. How many hints do you have to drop before they stop pretending they don't know what you're talking about!
We always know exactly what you're talking about from the outset.
We just don't let you know that.
Seriously though. How many hints do you have to drop before they stop pretending they don't know what you're talking about!
ooh, is this an emotional intelligence test?
men don't usually have it, so hints will not work. If you want something, you have to ask for it.
You may have to be very specific, too.
Any feedback on this? 😀
... I'm assuming nothing good has come of it then???
Maybe she's still cavorting around in the buff with said chap and just hasn't had the time to update all of us that live our lives vicariously through STW.
*imagines vicariously*
Try changing your Facebook relationship status
LOL.. love the fact it took a good few posts before I had a clue what you were on about!
Two approaches that worked on me recently...
"I can take my eyes off you when you're working out in the gym... you're so fit"
&
"I really want to **** you"
HTH
This thread has made me laugh. The sad side to all this is knowing what happens when women don't tell their men what they want and years go by before they eventually get fed up and leave. A friend of man recently got married and my top tip for his wife was to [i]never[/i] leave it to chance that he might pick up on your hints. If he doesn't pick up after one or two attempts, TELL HIM TELL HIM TELL HIM.
tortoise may be still, but he speaks wisely.
HHmmmm.
So. Why are men so rubbish then ?.
😉
if you CBA to ask for the things you want don't be surprised if those around you only provide them in their own time at their discretion.
good luck 😉
I suspect the hint was made while he was asleep. Or drunk. Or watching Top Gear. Remember, clarity, eye contact, and simple words.
This x 100

And don't wear a short skirt, or have any cleavage on display when said simple words are delivered. We can only concentrate on one (or possibly in this case, Two) things at a time. He won't hear you
Have you considered a Burka? Might be recommended for all serious conversations. Blimey! I think I've just accidentally stumbled on the singular motivation of Muslim women. The crafty sods
Fair enough. Should I take it from the lack of response to one hint that he's not really interested then?
I think its best if you post a picture of you in ya pants, that way your get LOADS of attention from this forum more than he's going to give you... 😀
Can we get a double update?
Did PJM's missus read this thread and kill him, does anyone know if he's ok? Very brave to post a story like that even if your missus doesn't use the forum but to do it when she does...... super brave indeed!
