I’m about to lay down some FACTS, okay? You may not like em’, but we’re gonna hold hands and sip this truth tea together, okay? Okay. Deep breaths.
Boys are oblivious as frick . I’m not talking men, who are more attune to daily nuances than we often assume, but boys .

You know the difference between men and boys—you’ve dated both Chad from Alpha Phi Beta and Leo who has a retirement savings account. Leo is a man ; Chad is a boy . It’s not an age thing, it’s a vibe thing. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Have you ever successfully played mind games with a boy?
Have you ever in your life been able to get something out of a boy without asking directly? No?
SHOCKING .
One girl’s text convo with her crush is currently going viral because she is ALL of us.
This is Kuda. Kuda has a crush on her neighbor (whose number she got from Sam, you get the idea).
Kuda doesn’t waste any time.
She opens the first text convo between them with a tiny bit of small talk, then she goes right for the flippin’ prize by saying that she “needs help”.
She literally tells him that she needs help WITH HER BED.
I’m choking. I’m gagged. I’m dead. Somebody resuscitate me.
Of course, the boy has literally no idea what she is trying to imply.
And is totally confused as to why she needs him to help her with her bed.
I need “you might want to ask Randy” chiseled into my flippin’ headstone when I die.
She even pulls the classic “we can shower together and conserve water” move.
And he STILL doesn’t understand.
Are you losing your mind yet? Cause I sure am. I can relate to this situation a little too hard , and I know you can too.
Finally, she gives up the charade and just tells him what he’s after.
Sometimes…okay all the time , our boys just need some clear cut communication. Even the smart-as-all-heck ones are oblivious to not-so-subtle flirting. I don’t know what it is.
Science side of the internet? It’s me, Sydney. Please explain why this is a thing.
Was it the texting part? Did that make it harder to understand that she wanted him in her bed and her shower?
Maybe social media really is the harbinger of the end times.
As expected, people are freaking out.
“Having flashbacks to my single years,” one person writes, “So oblivious.”
“Jesus Christ that was cringe worthy,” another user says.
However, the guys of the internet chimed in to give their two cents, which was pretty much exactly what you’d expect:
“Honestly, If I was him, I still wouldn’t be sure what your intentions were.”
We know, Chad. We know.
Though we don’t know whether or not Kuda was successful in her pursuit, we can ALL relate to her struggle.
In situations like these, it’s probably better to just be straightforward from the start. It may catch people off guard at first, but ultimately, it avoids the immense confusion and frustration that flirting normally involves.
