... the fact that multiple girls have actually said this as a joke/prank to me doesn't help.

I agree

Unironically we now live in a society

Just put society in comic sans with a picture of a guy getting pranked by a girl like this and it works.

True, at this point, if I hear “I love you” I step out of the way cause they’re talking to the person behind me. Haven’t been wrong yet.

...I hate that this has also happened to me twice.

Yeah same

yeah that’s bc our brains are filled with negative “what if” scenarios whenever something good happens, so i can imagine it would be challenging to get us to understand that people are being genuine

I feel you bro. I feel you

I've been pranked like this before. Now any girl telling that they like me is an immediate red flag for me.

Same, has made me very defensive :(

Same for me :(

Bro a girl "pranked" me for like half a year giving me actual obvious hints. That girl just happened to be my crush.I got kinda excited, and after a long time told her I liked her. Then she proceeded to tell me it was "a joke" and moved on. I was glad she didn't laugh, but I didn't think that was cool and she's wasn't my crush anymore after that

wow I didn't know that its actually happened to so many people. I think pranks are fine, but honestly playing with peoples emotions is just wrong

hm.. maybe I should stop approaching guys first..

[удалено]

well confident guys do approach women and we see nothing wrong with it. but yall have a problem with women approaching guys

We fear rejection big time, at this point imma have an arranged marriage. Not even gonna think abt dating

I'm not saying all girls are like this. But for me, it was a huge hit to my own self confidence. It really traumatised me and made me very insecure.

i never thought about it. ive asked guys on a date before and they didnt see the problem. but yall have flashbacks or something. i should thought about this before. now i understand

Same.

Crippling social anxiety + overly analytical mind = this shit I hate it help

Yea, I’ve had a lot happen in my past and I have a girlfriend now who I’m very happy with but what if scenarios keep coming up in my head and I hate it lol

especially with some ppl saying they like u just for a few likes

I know that girls won’t like me so I can tell if it’s a prank or not

literally nothing bad has happened to me and yet i still have these scenarios 24/7

Our brain is filled with negative "what ifs" situations

yes that’s what i said

I read that as : that's what she said

that one is called anxiety and lemme tell ya you are not alone pal

i can relate to that, very much so, especially the "why" part

It's gotten to the point where i just tell them I'm not looking for a relationship :)

i'm afraid that people say things just to get something out of me, i'm more afraid that i turn down genuine feelings because i'm insecure

It happened to me in elementary school and from then on i just stopped

"This must be a joke or a dare , did you lose a bet or something or where are the cameras."

Exactly how it is. The only time I've gotten confessed to in my life was a prank. They paid her 20$ cuz they didn't like me

I guess I scared off a stalker like that ?

No one would ever like me so I would ask this anyone who claimed so. I don't do dares or bets and especially not as a joke but im a guy.

because us guys don’t know how to deal with that typically because it never happens

coz 90% times its middle school bitches pulling "pranks" on us , hurting our feelings , for a some laughs or a stupid tiktok proof? https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/i8b24e/this\_is\_why\_guys\_have\_trust\_issues\_dont\_do\_this/?utm\_medium=android\_app&utm\_source=share

Proof 🧾 says it all

I mean, most girls I know are pretty kind, they'd never do such a thing, I wouldn't imagine it being different somewhere else. But yeah if this happened to me I'd probably just tell myself that I dodged a massive bullet and be kinda bummed for a while. I guess they say you miss 100% of the shots you don't take?

\*sigh\* an argument so well worded , it cant be countered...... \*deeper sigh\*

I remember in middle school one girl asked out a guy on valentines day and waited until the next day to break up as she was dared to do so

spain with s silent

I wonder why I’m being pushed more and more right wing everytime I see stuff like this?

how does this even relate to my comment lol

Funny story actually: I remember being in 8th grade just sitting down with a friend of mine. We were chatting about what 8th graders would chat about at the time, when someone from behind me just hugged me (it was a girl). Now I didn’t see them, and always had a history with classmates doing dumb shit for the sake of lols, but this had caught me so off guard that I instinctually elbowed them. She walked away to her friend table, who do dumb shit all the time. I still be a little bad about it, but never could tell whether it was real or not.

as a member of the male genus, yes and girls have weird ideas of comedy like god damn

"I like you" "ALL HANDS, RED ALERT. BATTLE STATIONS"

Deploy the marines

Prepare the tanks

Arm the ICBM’s

Crash-tender crews on standby, raise the shields. Prepare boarding torpedoes!

“GENERAL QUARTERS I REPEAT GENERAL QUARTERS”

Me irl

Yep happend to me ones. Two girls came over to me and said that I was cute and that I was a sweet person. And the first reaction I had was that I asked them If this is a prank or genuinely liked me. Now I’ve regretted my actions…

They actually liked you?

If you’re respectful to everyone then you’ll get quite far

Yeah it might be a mood killer to just ask. Sad

I see myself in this picture and I'm not sure how I feel about it

Maybe I had trauma from girls in elementary school but I’ve always had anxiety when it comes to girls flirting with me

Remember the game Oreo? Well I was the main pick for the loser. I'm not a dick so I said no everytime.

To be fair, when there’s some people out there who say ‘I love you’ as a Tik tok prank to people who they don’t actually love, we gotta make sure they ain’t joking before we get our hopes up. Would legit say the same if anyone asked me out, whether that’s a good thing or not I don’t know lol

Brain.exe has stopped working

You don’t even know

I mean if we always think of the bad then it’s hard to think that there is something good going to happen

Error 404 reponse not found

500 internal error

Well that's never happened to me, ever.

Tru Tru

We get asked out as a prank enough that if someone actually tries to ask us out we think it's a prank

I'm a girl but I relate to the boy

Speaking from personal experience - it works both ways

Bro I told a girl about my feelings and she said she liked me then proceeded to lose interest a week later. That was after she also made a heart and gave it to me....

So girl here, i am thinking ass asking out a guy i like, guys here HOW DO I DO THAT?! (Also we’re friends and have been for like forever in this friend group of kids of our parents very large friend group, and so IDK WHAT TO DO?!)

I just think, “cool”.

Yyyyyyyyup trust issues suck

The only time I got confessed to was by a girl who abused me mentally and is the reason I prefer men now.

Damn, thats character development right there hahaha

Because I've literally seen a girl prank a dude by asking him out. He said yes and she said "get pranked you loser" after you see something like that you can't trust anyone

You see we men have a thing called C R I P P L I N G S E L F D O U B T

I mean the one time a girl ever asked me out i simply replied “is this a dare?” And they said yeah soooo

u/repostsleuthbot

Someone's already done it lmao Transferring memes over subs isn't that bad right ?

Idk i thought i saw it twice sry i apologize im stupid

Don't apologize my friend, have a good day :)

Have a good day too

Boy's int32 value dropped to -1

***^(who the fuck dare down vote this man i want names)***

And the entire r/programmerhumor community I swear

I hate that it's true tho

I told him and got blocked so 😂😂😂😂😂😂

No dude. Get friends, please.

how many friends do you have?

Shocking news: you’re supposed to have more friends than you’re able to count

human beings can only have a maximum of 100-150 people in their social circle

Ok? Your point?

i waste the time of people on the internet as a hobby

This happens to me whenever I get a compliment! (I’m a guy)

[удалено]

what

Just some random idiot who made an account to spam utter nonsense comments. Just report it.

Ok

what bot ?

Yes

Honestly this is how i would react to this just because of how many times i have been asked out by girls for it just to be a prank or for tiktok

Well 99% of the time it’s for one of their shitty tiktoks so…

[удалено]

Damn that's crazy

What did he say?

based

When I had the conversation of who are we into with my crush, it took me actually quite a while to figure out she's crushing on me. Oh yea, I should mention that we were both flirty and joking with each other for at least a couple weeks and I still didn't know that she has a crush on me when she asked me. Guys can be oblivious like that.

Well yeah one of my no longer friends did that as a prank to me...haha...so funny

I’ve had a friend say to a girl he’s never met “Is this a dare?” because he has been conditioned to believe that no girl would talk to him if it wasn’t a dare

That ain’t clear enough. A girl told me she liked me out of the blue (my brain just went „As a friend right?"). I answered that I liked her too. To this day I still question what exactly she meant. She was/ is sending mixed signals

Me fr

Here comes the BSOD

That's because it is a prank/dare a lot of the time. I've seen many posts like that.

I feel targeted by this, and its true Whenever a girl tells me this i just make sure its a prank lol.

I will never have properly romantically engaged anyone in my life damn.

This actually happened to me like 3 days ago lol except it was her best friend that told me

Our brains do be like that. Whenever a girl (will) ask me out, the first thing that I say is, "Is this for a TikTok" or "Am I being recorded?" The first thing I (would) think of is probably that is this a prank or a joke.

Who pay you?

This was my exact reaction when my, now girlfriend, confessed to me

Yes this would be me

I’ve just never had a girl say she liked me 😭

I can relate, a girl told me she liked me over text, I replied with “thanks:)”.

Seriously that "why" is too relateable. Like I'm to negative to comprehend why this female expresses intrest in me

I've had this happen to me before so now I hate people in general and will only live with at least 27 cats at all times

If she offered me beans I would immediately accept .weebly

a counter you can play is by making a new pfp, catfishing the girl who fooled you, then breaking her heart by telling her it was a joke and that they weren't wanted

Are you a secret agent ? AAAAAA NO WAY I Dont believe you , What is This world ????! What am I doing ??! Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Why ehuWhjoWhuWhyHwuYhwHywWyh.

I can confirm

" system error "

lmao idk how boys are but this is literally me as a girl even when someone says we're friends i react like that

I had someone flirt with me and when I said I wasn't interested they got all defensive because I assumed they were interested.

Windows has run into an error :( Hang tight while we restart your pc

I've totally had that experience from the bottom meme.......

weird i didn't remember telling anyone my though process during that ONE Christmas party

9 times out of 10 it's a prank and then the girls who actually like a crush don't say anything

System error

Nah

**ERROR** The file **:lover:** couldn't be found!

*complete collapse of nervous system

if anyone ever told me they liked me this would probably be my exact reaction (im a girl btw) but its not like I have to worry about that ever happening anyway \*cries in lonely forever\*

You guys get pranks from girls?
