Dude shes teaching you how to swim not hitting on you
[–]lurkeraccountv1 435 points436 points437 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
This was not necessarily her showing interest. She was doing her job. You had to gauge interest by doing casual flirting and talking.
[–][deleted] 90 points91 points92 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Honestly, this situation deserves intermediate level of skills. Some guys can take subtle cues and translate them so well and can also make subtle moves themselves.
[–]lurkeraccountv1 77 points78 points79 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Clearly not the case if he’s posting about it and is unsure.
[–]Sensitive-Permit-877 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah its called reading the room or what she says. If she started touching you more and mentioning she never dates customers except this one time the guy looked like you on and on. Women who want to date will always say it in round about terms.
[–]Snakehead004 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This! She's working so you've gotta tread lightly. Look for signs, slowly escilate.. Then ask for her number when you're sure she's into you.
[–]iluvreddit 258 points259 points260 points 4 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
What an imagination… she literally did her job and you take it as she’s in love and DTF…

She’s also laughing at him inside that he’s a grown adult and can’t float while she’s a near pro swimmer

Didn’t have to do him like that lol

HEY GUYZ, THE WAITRESS KEPT COMING OVER TO ME TONIGHT. SHOULD I MARRY HER? WHAT ABOUT THE SECKS? SHOULD I ASK HER IF SHE WANTS TO SEE MY PEEPEE?
[–]cronasminate 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Lmao best comment.
[–]thats0K 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
tbh tho that was me one time. the waitress kept (intentionally?) kneeling down next to me (we were playing poker at a table so she knelt down to be at eye level basically), and more than a couple times absolutely had her tits graze my arm. it wasn't a "was that the wind?" hair tickle, it was like, full-on "I know my tits are touching you" contact. and if she didn't know, that would be one thicc ass brazier for her to not realize.
anyway, my lower head started thinking, disregarding my actual logic of "hmm, she's waitressing. think she may be doing this for a few extra dollars tip?". instead my smaller head was like OMG DUDE TITS AND VAGINA, ASK HER OUT! I ended up talking to her about shit but never "asked for her number" type shit. when women are working, if they are into you, you'll DEFINITELY know it, so rule of thumb is to basically avoid approaching women at their jobs. they can't wait to get home and get high like you, they don't want your neckbeard microdick. (gee thanks, me).
[–]singlecellfromearth 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
"if they are into you, you,'ll definitely know it"
Could you elaborate on that please?
How far does the line go between hospitality and genuine interest? Even extreme examples like yours?
Like I have a lot of different examples of aberrant behavior from customer service and I tend to err on the side of "extra nice customer service" but sometimes it's so strange I don't know.
[–]thats0K 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
they'll make some sly comments or something that is over the top than 99% of your service providing servers do. "oh well maybe you can show me _____". "interesting, I get off at 11, what will you be doing?" kinda things.
[–]iluvreddit 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She’s keeping eye contact with you because your sorry ass might drown while trying to float
[–]thelambofdeth 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lol
[–]bloodyblob 42 points43 points44 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude, are you 12 or something? She was just being friendly. Fuck.
[–]Dbotworld 35 points36 points37 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Are you saying you regret not getting your teacher’s number? She got paid for the class.
[–]Ares762 53 points54 points55 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

He's here for help not to be shit on
Have some respect
[–]i__jump 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So, she was teaching. Like, doing her job. If there’s one place a woman haaaates being hit on at, it’s her job. There’s definitely boundaries in place here that shouldn’t be crossed, unless it’s painfully obvious to you that it’s welcome. You wouldn’t want her to second guess her interaction with every male student afterwards, because she definitely will after something like that. If you keep returning to class and it’s apparent that there’s something mutual, after a lot of chatting, flirting, getting to know her, then sure. Why do you need her number anyway? You know exactly where to find her at if you want to get to know her more, in a subtle and casual way with boundaries in place that will make her comfortable and more willing to be open to you.
[–]singlecellfromearth 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Could you elaborate on what is "painfully" obvious?
As in, there were no indicators within OP's post but what should we be looking for?
Like the line between friendliness and "extra" service.
[–]Relaxedllama 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
did you have a good time?
[–]SpamSteal 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
yeah i was genially interested in learning how to swim and got some tips on floating
[–]Truffles64 25 points26 points27 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Do you mean “genuinely?”
[–]shapeshifta78 21 points22 points23 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Genitaly... 😁
[–]Truffles64 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Did you mean “gently?”
[–]shapeshifta78 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No, genital y.
[–]ragergage 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Definitely just doing her job and being polite. Don’t make shit weird
[–]Lefanteriorascencion 20 points21 points22 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You sound creepy bro
[–]maracay1999 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No, she is being paid to be there and help you. Sure, maybe there are situations where after you have flirted and established casual banter/rapport, you could ask her out when the 5 courses are finished or whatever.
This ain't it pal. You literally just finished class #1
[–]rienjabura 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
No don't you worry, we'll all float on.
[–]Jnoisy 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Alright
[–]Pharaoh012 20 points21 points22 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re definitely rushing. Keep going back and have casual conversation and go from there lol.
[–][deleted] 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Slow down, you’re doing good. Did you have a good day so far?
[–]SpamSteal 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yeah it was a good day
[–]Ares762 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"Keeping close eye contact but she was wearing tight clothes" homie, its her job. Wearing a swimsuit and watching her students at the pool don't have anything to do with flirting whatsoever.
[–]jimmytheeel 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't ask during class. She is working, in a pool environment, she gets asked all the time, you'd be just another schmuck. Keep convo up, and see if there is actually something there.
[–]tonstermits69 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You hesitate, you masterbate.
[–]Feeling-Text4852 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I like this one
[–]canuckle1211 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You sound creepy and desperate and maybe immature
[–]bayouboeuf 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
This is not the woman to pursue.
She was doing her job. If she is a professional then she was doing her job and being friendly but not flirting. You already have a physical attraction to her so you have a “hope” planted in your head. The instructor/student dynamic, in this situation, does not look like it will lead to the instructor being seduced by the student. Keep going to class. Learn how to swim. But take this woman off of your mental list as someone you would like to seduce.
Edit: if you ask her out and she rejects you, are you still going to go to her swim class? I can almost promise you that if she rejects you and you take it too personally, that swim class will be extremely awkward from here on out.
As another person commented, don’t try this with someone just doing their job. If you and she were coworkers then the dynamics would be different and more favorable.

Bro what
[–]not-allow-ed 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
learn to float? Isn't that build in, like from birth?
[–]throwawayPzaFm 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
In freshwater it takes thin people a bit of skill.
[–]bokonator 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I'm not fat at all and all I have to do is hold my breath in a bit more than usual to have my shoulders out of the water... All you have too do is relax and.. Float
[–]throwawayPzaFm 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I don't really float high enough to breathe unless I hold my breath in so much it's uncomfortable. I can kick a little and that fixes it.
[–]bokonator 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I can hold my breath for 4minutes so I guess I'm ok with doing it for 30s endlessly. But yeah, small kicking just makes it easy. Or just basic hand gestures to float. Was just trying to show that the body naturally floats if you have air in you.
[–]throwawayPzaFm 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah my breathhold is not great, especially after swimming or in cold water.
I can probably relax enough to do it, but the point was that I'd be bobbing up and down with my breath and getting water in every orifice, it's not great.
[–]r_m_castro 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Not a good call to hit on your instructor. You'll probably come out like a creep in her eyes (unless you're extremely handsome).
Obs.: You're an adult and don't know how to swim? What happened?
[–]SecondBornSaint 23 points24 points25 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lots of adults don't know how to swim.
[+]Chemical-Illustrious -14 points-13 points-12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pathetic ass shit. I’m sure she was as wet for OP as she is for the varsity athletes on her swimming team.
[–]throwawayPzaFm 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Entire generations of people have never had a chance to swim.
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Half the guys in the Navy can't swim, especially black guys.
[–]r_m_castro 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
What's the deal with black Americans and swimming?
I've heard about it on 9gag and David Googins mention it as well. There is no such thing in my country.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think more black people live in neighborhoods where swimming isn't a thing~
[–]shaggy1452 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude let her do her job in peace and learn how to talk to women. More importantly learn how to read a situation. A woman teaching you how to swim, because that’s her job, is not a green light.
[–]FaithInStrangers94 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean she was just doing her job but if you catch some signs of interest with prolonged eye contact or flirting you could
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait a few classes. Don't be too quick.
[+]howdatingworks -19 points-18 points-17 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you're unsure about her interest, don't leave it up to chance – make your move so you can either progress things or find someone who does want you. I recommend these tips and tricks to have the best success asking women out:
https://www.howdatingworks.com/blog/how-to-ask-out-a-girl
You should be ready to ask out any (single) woman at any time, even if she's leading your swim class. If she likes you, she'll accept
[+]Wargasm69 -11 points-10 points-9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just be casual and ask her if she wants to grab a drink or ask her if she wants to lift weights some time assuming you’re at a gym.
[–]tiverma 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s her job to be there. I never ask for women’s numbers while they’re working - just personal preference.
[–]PuroPincheGains 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You were right to not ask. This is her job, she's not flirting.
Lmao next he going to fall in love with the cashier who says thank you see you again soon
[–]swimstud5151 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This sounds veeeeerrrrry creepy. Stay away from that nice lady!
[–]elusiveclownface 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I used to date a yoga instructor it’s so creepy when people do that.
She will probably be nice about it as you are a customer but no way
[–]TheHungryRabbit 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why everyone is so mean here? Just tell the guy that he is having a wrong impression end of story, not everyone knows the standards on what is okay and what is not, he have to learn, be more respectful everyone next time please
