The best piece of dating advice I’ve ever received…
If they like you, you’ll know it…
If they don’t, you’ll be confused…
Honestly, it’s all you need to know…

Ah, no.
Women are always confused.
Whoever told you that doesn’t have a clue.
NB: advice void for the anxiously attached.
They may not know that they like you yet before you move on.
preach!!!
I always watch “He’s Just Not That Into You” when i feel my delusions are too strong
Any girlies out there, please watch bc it really gives a reality check
This is, with all due respect, a load of shite.
This isn’t “advice” – is the sort of pseudo-inspirational bollocks that belongs on a fridge magnet. It’s fuck all use to anyone.
This is probably true the majority of the time. Where things get complicated for me is:
1. Very early on in dating, before he knows me very well, sometimes I think that we just need to spend some time getting to know each other – but lol they might have already decided that it’s a no but they put it into a confusing category such as a FWB or back up plan
2. When dating divorced men in their late 40’s early 50’s it’s really common to find that they have relationship PTSD, and sometimes it’s unclear whether they lack interest or have some emotional issue
However that said it’s usually best to move on. It’s difficult when you really like them and feel hope that it can work out
Is the one that told you this by any chance a woman ? Cause unless they explicitly tells you they like you , you can never know
I have zero doubts that he loves me, had zero doubts that he liked me, but I was hella confused by all of the lying due to his secret addiction issues.
Because everyone is always the same across all demographics. People are simple! No nuance, no complications, no different ways of processing feelings, no different timelines for said processing.
🙄😒
You vastly underestimate my ability to miss hints
I don’t have any interest in letting someone I’ve spent less than 24 hours with stick their parts in my parts. Affection by the third date? Sure, probably. I don’t want anyone feeling pressured to do things they’re not comfortable with and I have no interest in feeling pressured.
This is pretty accurate, especially as you get older. Mature adults ain’t got time to be playing games and shit. If you’re left confused by a potential partner after being clear with them and trying over and over again for a relationship then it’s definitely time to move on. Someone who is 100% sure that they want you is not going to leave you confused and misguided.
Not applicable.
The most possible outcome if they like you is that you’ll be confused.
That’s the *best* piece of dating advice you’ve *ever* received?
Yikes
Everybody knows this advice. People are just trying to cope here.
Choose those who choose you.
I don’t know man I had one kick me in the nuts and I didn’t realize until 2 years later she liked me.
No. Just no.
Sure this will apply to a very limited few but this will not work across the board
Listen more than talking if you are a guy. You will learn a lot more and women tend to want to talk more anyway. This is the same if you get married.
But what if they don’t know I like them🤪😏
Nope, you will be confused EVEN if they love you completely
I totally disagree with this. I have a date tomorrow with a woman who is so confusing but I’ve been able to finesse it
>If they want to, they will. If they wanted to, they would have. Always remember that. See, people, yeah, they ain’t as complicated as they pretend to be. When they care, you’ll know. When they don’t, you’ll be confused. There’s no mystery in effort, mate. No puzzle in priority. If someone truly wants you in their life, they make space, they make time, they make damn sure you know it. If you’re standing there wondering where you fit, then you don’t. Don’t beg. Don’t wait for a ghost to turn around. Some people keep the door open just enough to keep you hoping.
I completely agree with this advice. People like to over complicate things and believe that they have to jump through hoops and do xyz to make someone like them and attracted to them. At the end of the day, you truly have no clue whether someone is interested or not until you ask them out. If they’re interested, they’ll say yes. If they’re not, they’ll say no. Does getting rejected suck? Sure. But there’s 8 billion people in the world. Pick yourself and keep moving forward.
hahaha so true. If girl wants you likes you you will know even if dummy asf, now when you are really smart and you still don’t know then she doesn’t like you, I also figured this out preety late
It’s true in most cases. But doesn’t take complex trauma into consideration. Some people will self-destruct good things out of fear. If you choose to stay with them knowing that, be prepared for a difficult relationship. Technically it’s not your problem unless you make it your problem by continuing to pursue them.
Women get just as horny as men, maybe more.
The difference is timing. Men get horny after 5 minutes (at time quicker); it takes longer for a woman, so if you continue to flirt, make out, and more… she’ll be the one ripping your clothes off and riding you like Seabiscuit.
