I said something sexually suggestive to a guy and what does his reaction say?

[watermelonjuice]

I said something sexually suggestive to a guy without meaning to. Only because those were normal words but which could come out suggestive.

 

He looked a little surprised without seeming too embarassed, while I tried to pretend I didn't mean it that way.

 

Is that a normal reaction?

 

Guys, if you did not like the girl, what would your reaction be? If you like the girl or are not repulsed by her, what would your reaction be?

I hope this guy wasn't someone you work with. You could get sued for sexual harassment. Why did you do that?

I already said I didn't mean to. The words had double meaning and I only realized it as soon as they came out.

 

No, I don't work with him.

If it was an obvious poor choice of words, I wouldn't care. I would likely find it funny and try to minimize her discomfort. I've put my foot in my mouth before. Who hasn't? Shrug it off.

[watermelonjuice]

I take it that this one is inconclusive? That I can't tell either way how he feels about it?

 

I guess my main question was whether I could tell if he was interested from his reaction or lack of.

 

Either way, can someone shed some light to the actual question in the OP? Since now that the foot in the mouth has happened, embarassment isn't really my concern.

I'm not usually interested in graphic detail, but in this case it would help me to know exactly what was said, know how I'd respond to it. And if it was said with a smile and/or eye contact after like you were looking for reaction, and what YOUR reactions were after saying it? Need more detail for me to evaluate anyway.

 

Generally, it is not a big deal.

I was smiling throughout the conversation, so I was still similing while saying those words. There was eye contact too but that was just normal for me. I wasn't looking for a reaction. My reaction after saying those words was still smiling and pretending that I didn't know those words were sexually suggestive or that I knew they were suggestive.

 

Generally, it is not a big deal.

 

I did not say it was a big deal, and it was not my question.

 

My question was whether I could tell if he was interested from his reaction or lack of.

 

Either way (I do not care that LSers say I'm nuts for thinking interest could be determined this way or that I should read more into it), can someone shed some light to the actual question in the OP? Since now that the foot in the mouth has happened, embarassment isn't really my concern.

If I was interested I would probably ignore the possibility of double speak and tease you about it. I'd definitely be more likely to laugh than if I wasn't interested. If I found you repulsive I'd keep my mouth shut and pray that it was in fact double speak.

Reminds me of a friend doing a brainstorming session at an ad agency, trying to come up with a name for a scuba diving product. She said, "Seaman. How about Seaman?" Silence. She kept repeating it until it dawned on her. She said she turned bright red and everyone started laughing.

Guys, if you did not like the girl, what would your reaction be? If you like the girl or are not repulsed by her, what would your reaction be?

 

Ok, here's my answers to your questions:

 

1. My reaction would be: it is not a big deal. ignored and moved on.

2. My reaction would be: it is not a big deal. ignored and moved on.

 

He looked suprised and move on. No big deal.

Assuming all other things equal, if i like the girl, i'd take it as a signal that she trusts me enough to even say something like that to me. I'd feel good about it, maybe even attracted to her just a teeny weeny bit.

 

If not, well I would assume that she just had a Freudian slip.

[wwwjd]

Still curious what was said.

 

One day at work, I was in this guys office and our boss came in with some torn up boxes. He stuffed them into that tiny garbage can beside the desk and walked out.

 

My co-worked shouted sarcastically at him, "Hey, THANKS for stuffing your JUNK in my BOX!"

 

I whispered... "... that's what she said!" and we both died laughing about it the whole day. It's still the best accidental "TWSS" we've ever had.

 

2nd place was: Front desk called saying, "You have a tiny package here"

My question was whether I could tell if he was interested from his reaction or lack of.

 

No.

 

Now can you tell us what you said, please?

I couldn't tell whether he looked the way he looked because he was surprised I said what I said or that it did occur to him before about us possibly doing what was sexually suggestively said that the words got to him.
