Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I’m wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don’t want to risk it.

      “How about we finish this drink and we go to my place to fuck?

      Works 100% of the times, everyone should try it and stop it with the immature waste of time that is flirting /s

        Or you could just say “Want to come back to my place? Like a civilized adult.

          Does that express your intent and desires clearly though?

                Did I say that DTF? If she wasn’t interested in you, she wouldn’t go. When she’s there, you feel the situation out, see where it goes.

                You’ll understand these things when you’re an adult.

                  Please dont be that edgy it hurts, I have taken home a girl or two back in my going out days. The last one that I’ve bought a house and made kids with. While I had fun I’m glad I don’t need to deal with that anymore, particularly in this decade as it was abit more relaxed when I did it.

                  What you seem to be missing in your simplicity is that the whole post is about young males scared about making a move, mentioning plausible deniability, wishing women were more clear, and needing more than a hint to take a risk these days. The person I replied to made an asinine comment dismissing all these concerns, and you ran with it thinking it was smart, and triple down.

        I’d put that percentage a bit lower, even for women. They could be flirting with a gay man, or a man that just doesn’t find them attractive.
