This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Been there. My first week at uni. It's late at night after the busses stop for the night. Walk homeward after a party with a cute girl from my initial study group. Live twice as far away as her. She tells me I can crash at her place and I accept as long as she isn't bothered. She has an 80cm wide bed in a tiny room. I lay on the side with my back to her to give her as much space as possible and fall asleep instantly. Awkwardly thank her the morning after, get a weird hug, and leave to catch a bus home. Only realize years later when talking to a girl friend about me being awful at picking up obvious signs.

I feel like we’ve all been there; House-sitting a cousin’s house, invited a girl over. Cooked dinner for her, and showed her the guest bed she could sleep in. Went to my separate bed. She then says she’ll get lonely in there by herself so I get into her bed and spoon her falling asleep in record time. I’m not a smart man.

Perhaps she was Canadian and was just being polite?

Haha! Thanks! I've actually seen that before, but the reference whooshed me pretty bad.

It it was a sign, it's not that obvious. I have slept in the same bed with women a few times (I am a man) and there was no intention other than sleep.
