If it helps folks feel better, successful relationships often require successful communication. If one is playing games and the other isn’t getting it, that may be a good thing that the moment was missed; you weren’t on the same wavelength and should probably pair with a better match.

I remember an acquaintance was complaining about their computer turning off when they closed the lid, so I told her to hand it over and I’d see if I could fix it.

She said she’d buy me dinner to thank me, but my fix didn’t really fix the problem, I just made the computer not sleep when you closed it, and so I didn’t feel like it was worth a reward

She even asked a second time, it took me years to realize I unknowing (firmly) shot her down

This comic is even funnier when you imagine their eyes really looking like that.

Is she still fed up with her friends insecurity after a year?

I think it’s just an intrusive thought because she basically (accidentally) told her friend that she is weird and annoying during a moment of vulnerability. Stuff sticks with you. It’s like the time I felt the need to explain to our German foreign exchange student that they only need to use a little bit of salt because I didn’t realize that they have salt in Germany. I was 9 at the time, but still. I think about that…

No, blonde girl was dropping hints that emo girl is her crush. Emo girl didn’t get the hint until a year later.

But that was just her bitching and moaning, not hints?

The bitching and moaning was the hint. Just so subtle that it took a year to blossom into realization.
