Nah, it never was a "duh" moment. I was just told flat-out "No", and after a while you just stop trying, and start shaking hands in the hallway.
For generations our ancestors fought proudly as warriors against the Jedi. Reclaim our armored past for an unending future.
Not really. Not like that anyway. When I first met my boyfriend, he wouldn't date me because he was my residential advisor in college and he felt it would be a conflict of interest to become involved with me. I practically threw myself at him, and he still wouldn't bite. He drove me crazy, because I'd always been able to get any guy I wanted. But he was a great counselor at a time I really needed one and he became my best and most trusted friend. It was three years into our relationship before he gave up his role as my advisor, and we started dating. But he was the only guy I ever gave all the go ahead 'cues' who wouldn't go to bed with me.
Yeah, when I was younger, dating age. A lot of missed opportunities
When I was 19-20 I was casually dating someone I was previously close friends with.. she threw out every hint imaginable that she wanted to have sex. To top it off we were frequently in the perfect situation where we could have sex. BUT I was too dense to realize any of it. Years later it finally hit me and I was like.. OH!!!!.... yeah... crap. lol.
I once went to lunch on a date with an older guy who had asked me out at the bar where I worked. I would have, he was a gentleman and never tried. His duh moment I guess.
I've missed a few chances. Probably a lot more than I realize.
I'm kind of a walking duh moment, clues go right over my head. My last girlfriend, when we were having our initial non-committed dates had decided she wanted me after the first date. Second date she came to my dorm and we spent pretty much the whole day together, talking and laughing, with her giving me really significant looks as she sprawled on my bed. Completely missed it.... Oops.
Date 3, I took the bus into town where her college was and we went to a really nice café where we sat and talked for hours. And she was wearing heels and this black dress with a see through patch over her cleavage and the tops of her breasts. Insanely sexy. We walked out of the café just in time to see the penultimate bus leave. She suggested we go to her room where she again sprawled on the bed and we talked for another hour or so before she got tired of me missing the millions of clues she was handing me and just asked if I was going to kiss her or not. Needless to say, I spent the night and we were in a committed relationship for 2 years.
