How can you tell that a girl is just not that into you? Sometimes, it’s as easy as receiving a bracelet that says “wristband of friendship,” as one commenter on a recent Reddit thread about guys realizing their crushes were not interested in dating.
Some people are more adept at rejection signals than others, and it might take a few attempts to get the message across. But no matter what, finding out someone is not interested in dating you is a huge bummer.

“Back in college, I took a girl on a lunch date. We had a really nice time. When it was getting time to leave, I told her I had to get to work. She said, ‘where do you work?’ I said ‘McDonalds’ and I literally could see her attitude shift in one second. ‘Oh, cool…’ So as I’m driving her home, I said, ‘So can we hang out again?’ She replies, ‘Yeah, totally!’ So the next day I text and ask if she wants to hang. She never responded.” — dikembebrotumbo
