This troper is definitely this. She is more or less observant to her friends' love lives, but is totally oblivious should anyone be crushing on her. It doesn't help that even when it's made obvious, this troper pushes it aside because
she thinks they're joking around with her.

Same here, gender-reversed. Apparently, my best female friend has had the hots for me for over a year now, and I never noticed.
#94409
Don't remember putting this up here?
#94410
Though there were constant {{she is not my girlfriend}} moments, and
everyone could see it he still didn't seem to notice. When someone went up to him and said "Ask Troper about the guy she looovees." He just replied "what?" and blinked. He just didn't get it.

It's happened to me on several occasions. I'm used to getting teased, and alot of times when a girl genuinely likes me I think she's blowing smoke or messing with me. A girl I've been talking to as friends for two years had told me I treated her well, we flirted when I had a girlfriend, I said some encouraging words to her, and she once asked me on a date. One time she asked if I missed her and I said yes, she was a smartass and said I hadn't seen her in two years, so how could I miss her? It was a joke. I asked her to my fraternity's formal as a backup date and when I told her I had a date and explained my ex broke up with me the year before, a week before formal, and had to find a backup ASAP to save money, she got mad and rubbed it in my face and talked shit about me to my friends when we went to the bars. She even brought her current boyfriend with her to make me jealous and gave me shit on facebook.

A little while ago I decided to confess my feelings to my LoveInterest. It went something like this: #QUOTE#'''Me:''' I love you. #QUOTE#'''Love Interest:''' You mean as in friends, right? #QUOTE#'''Me:''' Sigh.
#94413
This troper has both been the oblivious one and crushed on the oblivious ones. It hurts. :(
#94414
This troper's girlfriend was completely oblivious for a very long time before we got together. It was bloody exhausting.
#94415
This troper constantly and blatantly flirts, compliments,and makes it painfully obvious to everyone around us that this troper likes her. Guess who's the only one who doesn't notice?
#94416
This troper recently started dating a girl I have known for a year now. We both had a mutual crush and neither of us noticed that the other side was crushing on us.
#94417
This troper suspects, nay, feels that this ought to apply to him. The alternative explanation is that there was nothing to be oblivious to. A choice between two depressing explanations. Or he's invisible.
#94418
This troper was oblivious for quite some time. It's hard to blame her, since she's HappilyMarried and the love to which she was oblivious...wasn't from her husband.
#94419
What? What's that you say? You think this troper is cute? Why thank you good sir, I think you look good too. What? What's that? [insert person's who just complimented troper name here] likes this troper? Don't be silly.
#94420
This troper spend all day playing D&D and pokemon with a group of people, one of which was a friend of mine. A girl was part of said group, and was apparently flirting with me all day. I didn't notice until my mom told me, actually. Two weeks later, she asked me out. To be fair, she is my first girlfriend, so I am somewhat new at the system.
#94421
This troper has reputedly been crushed upon by quite a few girls. If it is true, I didn't notice at all. Mind you, I'm not the sort of guy who picks up this stuff and I'm VERY new to the system (only had one girlfriend (I was twelve). And that one wasn't particularly volentary). I've commented on this with a friend, who offered to give me lessons in it. Alas, he hasn't come back on that one.
#94422
Looking back on our previous online conversations, this troper and her girlfriend were saying "I love you" to each other MONTHS before I confessed to her. Why did it take that long? >>;
#94423
I found out a guy liked me about 2 weeks ago when someone basically shouted it across the room. Then I found out that he had been liking me for ''months'' without me realizing. A more extreme example, I know a dude who is ''so freaking oblivious'' that at least 3 times girls have tried to blatantly hit on him without him understanding what they were doing. Blatantly as in 'try to climb into his car with him when he tells them he has to leave'.
#94424
This troper suspects this applies to him. I've only started to notice recently that there are several others at my school that seem interested in me. Then again, it's more being paranoid about if I'm wrong than not actually noticing it, but the trope still applies much of the time.
#94425
This troper seems to be like this no matter how many times people tell her. She's very observant when it comes to her friends' personal life but totally oblivious when it comes to her own love life. She would just shrug it off.
#94426
This troper is very much this trope. When one of her guy friends told her "I love you," her response was to chuckle and say, "I love you too dude! I love all my friends." He facepalmed and later told her that he loved her in the boyfriend sense. Her reply? "''All'' my friends are boys!"
#94427
Two gems from crushes of this troper: #QUOTE# Troper's Crush: So, this girl you like, do I know her? #QUOTE# This Troper: -facepalm- Also #QUOTE# Troper's Crush: Oh, I'd know if it was me.
#94428
This troper is (was?) ''so'' oblivious to love that she often didn't even realize her ''own'' crushes. She (hopefully) managed to break this, though that may or may not be because a) EveryoneCanSeeIt from him and b) she recognized the signs from previous crushes.
#94429
This Troper is one of these with a friend of a friend, even though looking back, the signs were blatantly obvious the friend of a friend had a crush on her. He even asked for her phone number and suggested they meet up sometime but she was still completely surprised when he eventually asked her out! It was only just recently she realised how his actions beforehand practically screamed "I think you're hot!" and yet she never got the message.
#94430
This Troper and her boyfriend both. We were attracted to each other from the moment we met, but it took us six months to realize it. A mutual friend even asked if there was something going on between us, and we still didn't see...
#94431
This Troper is involved in what seems to be a
3 triangle, with the A-person completely oblivious. B seems to want to bend A to her will just for kicks, whereas Troper (C) has a probably-unrequited crush on A. C doesn't know how much more obvious her hints can get, but A still hasn't picked up on it. *sigh*
#94432
This Troper's obliviousness to guys' advances has become legendary among her friends. And (this is how bad it is) her parents. The most notable example stretched over an entire semester: an acquaintance was persistently and obviously flirting with her, and she didn't notice until he made a move so obvious he might as well have had a flashing neon sign over his head saying, "NOTICE ME!" All their friends did notice, however, far before that. At the beginning of the whole fiasco, when he came up behind her and tried to dance with her, she thought the crowd was pushing him against her and tactfully moved to the side so as not to look like she was throwing herself at him. She will admit that her friends' extreme frustration with her is justified.
#94433
Both sides, took me four years to release my fave crush favored me, and he's still taking his delicious sexy time figuring out it's MUTUAL. M.U.T.U.A.L. Basically the only guy I'd instant In-A-Relationship with. EVER!
#94434
Oooh, boy. This Troper to a large degree. Of course, the fact that I'm rather hardheaded doesn't help. (Pro-tip: when dealing with me, subtlety doesn't work. In some cases, bashing me on the head and yelling in my face doesn't work either.) To wit; once, in high-school, I was having lunch with a few friends, and some other people I wasn't as familiar with. One of the girls I didn't know decided to come over and begin flirting with me. When I failed to notice her advances, she upped the ante and sat on my lap, continually flirting with me. And I '''''
still. didn't. notice.'''''
#94435
Nine years before my good friend said anything about liking me and I had no clue the entire time.
#94436
Tha'ts how it happwn with This Troper when he fell in love with his now ex-girlfriend. After finally confessing his feelings and becoming a couple, he found out she had been in love with him for quite a long time. He then realized some of her attitudes screamed "I LIKE YOU!" a lot. How he had missed them still surprises him now.
#94437
Also, same Troper, remember that back a few years ago, his mother assured him some of the girls of his school liked him. He finds that hard to believe. But who knows...
#94438
This troper knows a girl who would, if given a love note, would check it for grammar.
#94439
Recently the case with my two friends, who both liked each other very much, and even though
everyone could see it they didn't realise the other person liked them. They both kept
denying it too, which didn't help matters. Long story short, they're ''finally'' together now.
#94440
Met her on SecondLife and she was a lot like me. We did some cybering when we first met, but after that I treated it as a friendship... till one day when I started complaining about one of my other hookups. It wasn't until she read me the riot act that I realized how much I'd hurt her... it still stings, especially since I'm pretty sure that's not the only time it's happened to me but I'm not sure with who else...
#94441
I am very much this, and well aware of it. I only tend to notice budding relationships that are glaringly obvious in others, and I am just flat out unaware someone likes me as more than a friend unless they actually tell me so in no uncertain terms.
