Two recent examples. I dont have tons of girls under my belt so if this sounds like rookie shit its cuz it is.

I had been flirting with this girl for a while. She was pretty receptive. I go for the number close and give her my phone. She starts typing..then stops and says "I have a boyfriend but I'd be down to go hangout as friends".

I laugh and go "yeah...totally..best friends".

She laughs and starts typing..then stops again and says "Wait do you even know my name?"

Me: Uhhh totally do, it's......Rihanna!

She starts laughing and then finishes typing and hands the phone back.

Other example now.

I'd been "friends" with this girl and not seen her for a months. She had been in LTRs until recently. I have a gf + game everyone in sight.

We hung out the whole afternoon. Got coffee, then changed venues, we're walking through an outdoor shopping center. I see a big outdoor water fountain the kind that kids play in.

I say "hey what's that?" Pointing at the sky.

She says "Where and looks up".

I instantly pick her up over my head, I'm 6'5 and pretty swole so its easy. She's screaming/laughing and everyone in view is watching us.

I carry her over and drench her in the fountain...it was amazing. She's screaming in happiness and I lowkey felt like a boss.

Then we are talking about a misunderstanding we had before. (My girlfriend was nervous about me talking to this girl) and she says "Oh well if that's what it was, I just want to be friends anyway

I didnt openly respond butthurt or anything but I honestly thought I just got labeled into the friendzone tbh based on her tone.

Then an hour later I have her isolated on a park bench. She's singing to me with her guitar. It was chill. Then I have to leave. so we get up and go back to the cars. We hug and then separate.

I suddenly get the urge to escalate, so I call her back into another hug. As we split off I gently pull her head like I'm going to kiss her.

I physically felt some resistance from her as I pulled, and then I said "here" and she eased off. I stupidly chickened out because I didnt want to scare her and kissed her in the forehead.

Then she goes "I love you" with the puppy dog eyes and I was like "love you too..."

Okay enough of the sap shit. That ending was dumb but I'm just being brutally honest here with what happened.

Do those sound like LMR or are these girls just not interested?
