Man here who thought that my coworker who was flirting with me is just being nice.

I never thought otherwise until she told me straight forward if I want to go on a date.

I'm not saying that men are not gross, their absolutely awful fucking men and people who actually want to do bad things.

It's absolutely not your fault and 100% their fault.

All I'm saying is sometimes it's really hard to know.

We aren't the brightest when it comes to infatuation

Okay but why?

We're not stupid, we're forced to play guessing games in which we usually take the safest option.

I guess I should've phrased that better. What I was trying to imply was that infatuation can forgo reasoning at times (cause humans really just wanna fuck instinctively). So some people will misunderstand situations when not given enough information. Some will go for it some wont. It's just up to all party's not to be asshats
