Rejected, Friendzoned, and Not Reading the Signals

by Alex

the Nerd Love Story of Vir and Diego

Many have been rejected and friendzoned, but it’s not often that we would do it to someone who did it to us. And yet, this is what happened to Vir.

🎲 In her story, they both rolled a Nat 1 on their perception and charisma checks: Their attraction didn’t align, and they couldn’t read the signs. So they had to be explicit and confess liking each other… Three times! 😱

If you’ve wondered why someone doesn’t realize that you like them, you think you’re bad at “taking hints,” or you think that the friendzone lasts forever (and that a rejection will bring your HP to 0), you should listen to this story!
