This is probably no mind blowing news to most people lurking this subreddit, but this is an example of an 18 year old girl, admitting to one of the many things which are the root of the common joke; "nobody understands women".

Straight to the point, i was in reddit ask men, where an 18 year old girl wanted some input on an "awkward social situation". The post is not deleted but ill paraphrase the essentials. She met a guy around her own age group, typical late adolescent high school social environment. This guy, according to her own perspective (which is all this is), seems like a genuinely intelligent "loyal" guy, who isnt like all the other trash guys who cheat. he initiates contact through snap, they snap back and forth until one day she ** stopped just to check whether he was really interested in me. However, that dumbass didn't get the signal and he stopped **

A couple in the comments pointed it out. Some saying it was childish, others saying she was testing him and that some men wont waste their time with this. She didnt see this as a test of playing games, according to her, she was sending a **signal**.

Chances are she isnt the only one, definitely not in her age group, who play these kinds of games. This girl in particular, this is what she feels is how you send a signal. Now shes confused as to why the guy isnt giving her more attention, responding with non nonchalant messages etc. This is the type of stuff which from an external perspective might be "playing hard to get", but ask the brain behind it and shes trying to tell you she wants you to sweep her off her feet.
