Something romantic for programmers to do, write a console program for your crush. Only for them to not know what it means and just reply "👍"

My newest ick is when a guy that is CLEARLY flirting with me, and I cut him off, and he's like"oh I didn't mean it like that. " and then to top it all off, he pretty much just stops texting me.

like, if you're going to flirt just commit to the bit and don't lie to me, it makes you look stupid.

Prompt 11 from the Flufftober 2023 List 2:

Meet Cute

Summary: Alya and Marinette want to work on Marinette's flirting. Marinette's falling for him and taking his breath away.

Read on AO3 or read below:

"Come on girl." Alya pleaded. "We gotta work on your flirting. You're a disaster."

"Thanks." Marinette gave her friend a deadpan look. Still, Alya was right. Marinette had been…intense when they were younger.

"I love you but you could use some practice." Alya shrugged. "I'm not saying you have to date anyone or anything has to come of it."

Marinette sighed. "Yeah, you're right. So what are you thinking?"

Alya smiled at Marinette. "Let's go shopping and check out cute guys. You can do a little chatting, see what comes naturally and where you need to work on things."

An hour later, they were in a shopping mall discussing flirting do's and don'ts. Marinette was feeling confident with Alya's encouragement.

As they continued to people watch, Marinette saw a really cute guy walking their way. Alya followed her line of sight and nudged her. "The one with dyed tips or the one with red hair?"

"Blue dyed tips." Marinette murmured quietly. She took a breath and nodded confidently before walking towards the boy, Alya calling encouragement behind her.

Just before she reached him, Marinette tripped and crashed into him. Their eyes locked and the boy immediately sat at the nearest bench.

"I am so sorry! Did I knock the wind out of you?" Marinette wrung her hands.

"You took my breath away alright." The boy gave her a wink. "My name is Luka, by the way."

Marinette blushed but smiled. "I'm Marinette."

She would need to thank Alya later.

Something happened to me at a bar years ago and it has perplexed and vexed me ever since. I was out with a friend, she was away so I was holding her seat and chatting with the bartender. The moment the bartender moves away to attend to another person this guy swoops in to stand next to me, saying he doesn’t need the seat he’s just waiting for friends. He’s well dressed and decently cute and we small talk.

After a while he looks directly in my eyes and asks

“Who’s your favorite Greek god?”

I smile, excited to get to talk about him

“Oh, it’s Hermes!”

His smile fell, his entire demeanor turned cold and he walked away with out saying another word to me.

I guess there must have been an answer he was looking for and Hermes was not it.
