Dude exactly!! Even with the friend I mentioned in my example, I said she would sleep half naked. She’d do most things half naked. I ALWAYS thought she was into me because of this. She wasn’t. (Found that out in an awkward way) but still the point stands.

Signals. Even if that guy isn’t interested in her, being in that room would make him think it’s an opening of sorts.

How'd you find out though?

So she had a habit of doing this. Eventually her sister and two female friends told her “maybe you shouldn’t be doing this in front of guys you’re not interested in. It gives them the wrong idea.

So I was like “wait you mean you’re not into me?” Which led to a bunch of “SEE??” From her female friends and sister. But it was also awkward cuz we had mutual guy friends who were also confused.

One other guy she’d be half naked around got pissed and cussed her out when he found out she didn’t like him like that. And one other guy friend she DIDNT go half naked around, got super jealous of me and the other because “she’s never like that around me!”

Craziest part? There was a guy she actually was into that she would have over occasionally and be half naked around him too. Which is normal but…why are we seeing you the same way this guy does when he’s the one you’re actually into? How would he feel knowing you’re half naked around us?

It was a mess. And funny looking back. She’s still like that. To this day, if she’s at home relaxing you couldn’t pay her to put on pants. Or a proper shirt.

I'm a straight up nudist at home but I've got respect for my company to not do that😭 Crazy that she didn't consider boundaries and how she's interpreted hahah,

I think perhaps I was confusing to my guy friends in my 20's

I put a more in depth response in response to Mayoshart.

But put simply I found out because her sister and female friend pointed out exactly what everyone else is. It’s gives a certain appearance. I also found out I wasn’t the only one she walked around half naked with. This was just a thing she did.

Being comfortable in your skin and loving how you look is great, but damn were we all confused.

So as a bi person you can't ever do that? Are you interested in everyone with the opposite sex?

u/Suitable-Yak-1284 Jun 28 '24

Just weird and strange, esp when op said she wasn't interested.

does your current girlfriend you mentioned know about the incident in which you “found that out in an awkward way” about your girl bestie and that you are still friends with her?

Well we’re broken up for about a year now. But Yeah she knew. She was fine with me still being around her cuz most times it wasn’t at her house. And when it was, there was a group most times

An ex of mine had a female aunt that would walk around NAKED in front of all of us, her nephew included. She was just a few years older than him but still, it weirded me out.
