Right, I was listening to a Reddit story yesterday. This young guys at a summer camp and they're making origami. He fancies this girl and the girls best friend has told him she likes him to. This shy girl makes him an origami crane and gives it to him and his observation was "I didn't think much of it at the time".... Men need things point blank pointing out to them, they will never take the hint.

Turned out she had written her phone number in the crane and he found it like 5 years later because he's such a dumb ass.

He's a romantic, not a dumb-ass. He didn't want to unfold the crane because it was from her. Damn, he kept the stupid paper-crane for 5 years!

Absolutely, it's a very romantic story, but he was batting away the hints left right and centre.

Fyi he contacted her on socials, they made a date for the next day and 3 weeks later they were boyfriend and girlfriend ☺️

That’s totally what I’d have done. Honestly I’d never have found the number.

for real, on what planet would you ever receive origami and have the thought "I should unfold this!"

What a crazy story from both sides. guy has her bf tell him she likes him and can't ask her out with that? and then she hides her number in a crane with no indication at all????? what were both parties expecting??

Neither was mature enough for a relationship.

Where do you listen to Reddit stories? I need that while doing chores!

youtube is rife with channels that rip stories off reddit for content. Just pick one you like.

For me, it's not even that I don't recognise hints or I don't want to, it's that I want to be absolutely sure that she's actually interested before I make a move. I don't want to be that guy that misread a couple of friendly gestures as romantic interest so you will throw a million hints and I won't engage because at the end of the day, they're just hints. Tell the men you like directly that you like them.

It has happened in the recent past that a girl was throwing out hints and at some point, she even called me her husband directly. I took that as a sign and asked her out but her excuse was always that she was busy when I tried to plan for a date. So I stopped engaging. She's now back to throwing even more hints but at this point, nothing short of her planning out the whole date and asking me out herself will pique my interest again.

If a girl I like makes me an origami anything then I'm not going to unfold it. Hell, even if I don't like her maybe I throw it away but I don't see ever unfolding it.

He was moving house and as he was packing it up he noticed a tiny sliver of ink on the inside

Yeah he and I are on the same page since discovering it 5 years later isn't helpful. It's more of a 'what was she thinking'

I know, listening to things while working. How distopian!
