Girls who are actually flirting with me and who are attracted just need to touch me more...I'll get the picture then!

It feels way worse to think you are being flirted with and you act and realize they were just being nice. When you are flirting and get no response, you can just stop and move on.

Where if a girl is consistently "nice" to you for weeks and you take it as flirting and make an idiot out of yourself you feel like crap.That has happened numerous times to me. Enough to the point that now I try not to read too much into flirting unless the girl is very aggressive...

The years later one dawned on me pretty recently.

So a friend from high school (lets call her Girl A) transferred to my college in my sophomore year.

Nice girl really talkative and friendly. Her roommate (who was actively seeking a boyfriend) stopped by the room one day because Girl A dragged her to my room.

We talked a bit but at the moment I was going through my "Halo 1 Obsession" phase playing it all the time on the LAN and getting all of my friends hooked.

Well she came by the room sometimes started asking me questions about the game and then asked if she could play one day.

She then regularly would come and play halo with me along with all the guys in our hall wing.

After about a month of her playing she stopped coming by and started seeing someone across from my hall.

And it dawned on me this year (yes this year about...4 years later) why she was doing that...

So...how dense is that. How often does a girl play video games...

It's ok I guess, since she was a 5/10 she was not ugly or fat just not really attractive.

Unless it's someone I know and am close to (good friends), I usually just brush it off. When I use to work in a warehouse, I would flirt back and forth with several of my co-workers. We had an understanding that it's all in good fun and nothing was ever taken seriously. I had a similar set up with some of my friends when we were in high school. It's just a nice way to brighten up someone's day or reaffirm your feelings ( not necessarily romantic) for someone.

Swift in regards to your story I could see why you didnt do anything...I could see the same thing happening to me or alot of other people for that matter.

Yeah, same here. It seems like my manager is flirting with me, but I don't know if she's kidding or interested... I'm hoping it's the aforementioned.

I played video games with Knyte before we got married.

Oh wait... nevermind.

Guys, in George's situation, what more could/should the girl have done to let him know she was interested? besides take her top off while they were playing?

That's a tough call because most people aren't going to just take their top off or jump on you or even straight up tell you they are interested.

I think when it comes to video games guys should take that as a red flag because girls usually dont just play them for the hell of it. I would say if she dropped more hints that woulda worked but sometimes that doesn't either!
