25 women share stories of guys who didn't pick up on the obvious hints they liked them.

One of the biggest obstacles to heterosexual romance is that women are often taught to be coy and subtle when showing romantic interest, but guys generally don't realize a woman likes him unless she makes it really, really obvious. And even then, he might think she's "just being nice."

Women on Reddit are sharing stories of "the most obvious hint they dropped" that they liked a guy that the guy somehow didn't pick up on.

If we can take anything from these 25 women's stories, it's to tell your crush you like him immediately. Because hints clearly don't work.

1.) From othermegan:

We were playing Life and he was the police officer. The rule is, if you spin a 10, he gets your “speeding fines.” I literally pulled open my button down and exposed my breasts and said “what can I do to get out of paying this.”

He said, “ma’am. I am an officer of the law. Are you trying to prostitute yourself to me?”

A couple days of flirting and sexual innuendo later I literally had to spell out that I was trying to fuck him. We’ve been together 6 years now
