30 People Share Their Hilarious Moments Where They Failed To Notice Someone Was Openly Hitting On Them
When opportunity knocks, but no one is home.
One thing is certain in life—well, several things are certain in life, and one of them is that you are bound to have regrets.
Your bio will be filled with missed opportunities—both business and romantic. No matter how careful you are, you will definitely miss a lot of them.
Some come in disguise, while others are pretty obvious. Missing those hurts the most.
Oh, how many people have missed out on love and passionate kisses because they misinterpreted the circumstances! It is both tragic and humorous. David Drake, a comedian based in New York, explained how he missed the clear hint during a high school overnight that the girl he liked was trying to seduce him by tickling him.
He only understood the reality later and regretted the missed opportunity. His Twitter followers subsequently shared their own comparable experiences, and the combined awkwardness and secondhand embarrassment are so great that they will make you scream out loud.
We’ve chosen 30 of the most incredible stories. We hope you find them educational and that you keep them in mind when the next opportunity arises.
They will definitely make you feel better about your missed opportunities, that’s for sure. Let's take a look:

David's tweet received over 95.4k likes and was retweeted thousands of times. But it wasn't the impressive figures that were the most significant victory.
No, the achievement was in getting people to talk about their regrets, which they still carry with them to this day.
Not to mention the comic gold that lurks between the lines of these tweets. The thread is proof that many more people than you'd imagine have the kinds of regrets that keep us awake at night.

Some people are just not good at taking hints. Obviously, they are not good at recognizing even the most obvious attempts at flirting either.
If they weren’t so funny, these stories would be almost tragic. We all have missed opportunities, but, boy, do these stories make us feel better.
What are your missed opportunities?
