flirting

If you've ever felt like the struggle is painfully real for you when it comes to identifying flirting, this quick Tumblr thread is here to reassure you that you are not alone. No, it turns out that studies have been conducted showing that humans are generally challenged when it comes to being able to identify actual flirting signals. Yeah, we're not out here reading minds. Facial expressions, underlying social habits of different individuals in different situations make for a disorienting melting pot, where it's pretty much impossible to tell what's going on. 

Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr post about humans' willful ignorance. We're terribly forgetful creatures. 

It's hard to identify the signs, sometimes. Yes, sometimes we mistake perfectly innocent tomfoolery for romantic advances. It's okay though, many of us can get caught up in that confusion at one point or another. Check out another gem from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about hilarious drama club mishaps.

Apparently it's pretty hard for people to guess the difference between flirting and just regular goofing around. So don't feel bad for being horrible at seeing the signs, you might just be bad at identifying them like the rest of us. Tumblr is a creative powerhouse of funny nuggets of gold, including poking fun at the adorable quirks of humans.

Online dating sites are a venue to put yourself out there and get to know people. At least that's what they say they're for. What tends to come out of it is mostly really horrible/great puns about people's names as well as horrible disappointment. Either way, people will continue to swing for the fences of online dating.

Tinder is a place where most people go to waste time and feel sad. But that doesn't mean it's all ghosting and loneliness. Sometimes people get themselves into some strange moments born of incredible awkwardness, utter rudeness, and sometimes a legitimate sense of humor. We respect the effort.

Tinder is a big place full of all different walks of life. Some people are down to flirt and joke around, others are much more serious. Either way it's a recipe for awkward, charming, and stupid moments. And we love them. If you need more Tinder funnies in your life, we've got you covered. 

Comedian, Kate Willet, is making some waves on social media with this impactful post. She offers up her perspective on sexual harassment vs. flirting, and a whole lot of people seem to be in agreement with her take! 

You can never be too sure of what you're gonna get on a dating app. Well okay, you can be pretty sure you're gonna get a slew of thirsty boring people with no redeeming qualities, as well as people trying to get you to send them money. But other than that you can't be too sure of what you're gonna get. Also, there's more where that came from.

Before there was Netflix and Chill, there was Fencing or Frenching. This young woman's ludicrous tale is one hell of a medieval-esque emotional rollercoaster. Apparently you can find the original script that inspired the eventual Twitter thread, over here.

The asterisks/role-playing sh*t is not helping the cause here. AT ALL. 

Splintered piece of Balsa wood got me good. This idiot tried to pull the cop card, when he should've aborted long before that. Brace yourself for a conversation of pure, distilled cringe. 

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield wasn't having any of Mia Khalifa's shamelessly straightforward attempts to stir up some flirtacious Twitter banter the other day. She went for it, and he stonewalled her ridiculous little move, beautifully. 

These cringe-inducing flirting attempts will lower your faith in humanity just a little bit.
