I had a scenario like this when I was couch surfing while going to college. So there I am in a attic room surrounded by 5? girls and I thought to myself wtf am I doing here. I just came here to do my laundry, my friends girlfriend said it was okay and I could take showers there as well. In hindsight, I realized I'm an idiot. She showed me her room as well. I totally missed the subtle messages; she was very intelligent, she explained her school project about the function of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). But hey I was a brain dead skateboarder then lol
Idk, sounds to me like they feel comfortable around you.
I have a few close female friends, one I even usually share a bed with on trips. I asked her why it's like this once and it boiled down to "you don't expect anything from me".
I do have a partner and usually hang out mostly with women, so maybe I'm just not attractive, who knows
I mean looking back, I don't disagree. One of the girls would help me with random stuff. Another always wanted to take photos together and put them online, I said no thank you to that. I think that people have different interpretations of attraction. In a way I found being taught about ATP very attractive but I wasn't going to interject myself between her and my friend. So you probably have an attractiveness beyond a physical appearance.
I don’t know if you’re the idiot you think you are. You didn’t do anything, which rationalised the trust and why they let you in that circle in the first place. That’s a pretty decent level of trust very few men get to.
I would say I'm oblivious at the least. Working in retail I made quite a few female friends, understandably my girlfriend at the time didn't like that even though I was trying to find friends for her to hang out with after moving to a new place since I could just talk to my friend group on teamspeak and I didn't want her to feel lonely. I learned the hard way they liked me basically.
And they had reason to, you’ve shown it again
I'll take the compliment. Thank you.
I’d say you earned it.
They aren’t lying when they talk about how hard it is to trust them.
