I'm reading a green text post here, and then the comments are analysing the situation as if this is r/amitheasshole. What's going on Lemmy?
Greentext
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Lemmy has a unique community. Lots of thinkers. Personally, I love reading when people start seriously interpreting greentexts.
The post ends with "so did I win?" Which is EXTREMELY similar to asking people if you're the asshole. Why do you find it surprising people are treating this like an r/aita post?
It's like this on every greentext post. Everyone immediately assumes the OP is a creepy loser and drags them through the mud.
fake, anon had a girl interested in him
gay, he almost had a three way
Love this community for keeping up with the 4chan spirit no matter what.
There's always a comment under every post explaining how it's fake and anon is gay.
Completely possible anon was a creep and she felt uncomfortable saying no.
If everyone else thought she was flirting then I think it makes the situation a bit more complicated
In what world do you think someone is a creep and then you agree on going on a hike of all things with them, an activity that is basically guaranteed to have you alone with them at some point?
Comments here are ignoring we only have this guys extremely biased view of this situation and are saying "leading him on" was cruel again big assumption.
You mean we have this guy's extremely biased view on this completely made up situation?
It's kinda weird to wait until the last minute to ask if someone else can come along on a planned outing.
But the rest? I dunno. Looks like a pretty standard mixup.
OP had a chance at a three way and dropped the ball...
since we have only one part of this supposedly real situation:
4channers always loose and this one did as well, how dare this woman wanting an actual friend
and of course this weirdo assumes it was totally flirting
I'd say they're tight, not loose.
Welcome Anon to the confusing gameshow of "Is she flirting or is that just how she is with friends!" /s
I kinda want to know what Anon and his "female coworkers" thinks counts as flirting. Simply being nice to someone and having fun talking to them isn't flirting, as much as some guys might like to think it is. Now if she was a more touchy person, I can see how that'd be mistaken, as being touchy is also a common way of flirting.
Though find it odd that she waited until the very last minute to ask if her boyfriend could come. And also, guessing "I'm no longer interested" is paraphrased, cause nobody on 4Chan is mature enough to not make things incredibly uncomfortable at work after this.
Definitely sending mixed signals not mentioning her boyfriend and saying she has to do things alone, but not sure how that qualifies as "using". Hiking isn't really something people "use" others for, it's not like he would have been carring her the whole time. If she was getting him to do her job when he was talking to her then yeah, but this doesn't mention anything like that. She could very well have just wanted a friend to talk to at work and didn't know how to bring it up after a while...
Maybe I'm overthinking this...
Maybe she quit because his reaction to her having a boyfriend creeped her out. She didn’t want to be around someone who misinterpreted what were merely friendly gestures.
I mean, look at his picture! That'd creep me out too. Grayscale, unshaven smoker looking guy.
Hike sound like 1st date PC to anyone? I mean, it depends on the definition of hike but someone I barely know dragging me to an isolated place in the woods somewhere sounds like a legit way to end up being drug through the woods with a much higher probability than the typical coffee shop date.
Also, who doesn't have work-mances without deeper meaning? I always have beer after work bros and lunch/break dates with my coworkers but that has no meaning beyond. In fact, I've always had a strict rule of never shit in my own back yard. If I was so inclined as to date someone from work, I would not do so until after finding a new job.
what do you mean by "1st date PC"?
It's tradition to bring your date a new PC on the occasion of your first date. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it should at least boot.
