97% sure someone posted this at some point, but I think it’s been a while… ⊙﹏⊙
This. I’d rather die alone than risk even the slightest possibility of making someone else uncomfortable.
why yes I am in therapy how did you know

Same.
Yeah the fear of imposing on someone. There are plenty of assholes, but lots of perfectly nice people just communicate what they want/need/feel and it’s okay. Not just talking about dating.
Then whenever you take your risk and do it, and get rejected, you retreat back to try it again in 6 months.
Edit: I have zero problem and welcome people being honest, and adjust accordingly. But when I try to do that it rarely works the same way. Could just be how I communicate, but it is a struggle.
I think the thing that makes people uncomfortable in this kind of scenario is if you don’t stop when they ask you to. Or you just refuse to take no for an answer. But our species would cease existing if nobody ever was made uncomfortable at some point by flirting because everyone’s lines and desires are on a spectrum. You can say the exact same thing the same way to two different folks and one will turn around and slap you for it and the other will get on their knees for you. Humans are weird.
I can make this easier, at least for anyone interacting with me:
If you’re reading this, you - yes, you - have my full and explicit permission to compliment me, flirt with me, or ask me out. I am extremely good at saying no if needed and promise not to be offended if you make the first move.
Also you’re cute 😘
They shot every shot at once, this strategy is crazy
I’m aggressively poly so, yeah. I’m constantly shooting all of the shots.
Samesies!
OMG! We’re both poly?
What if we kissed 👉👈
Jk… unless?
I have one question for you: girls?
Among other people 😘
I can see the pronouns in your username. I wouldn’t be flirting if I wasn’t interested
Ah, girls 😌 delightful
The answer to that question better be “Just want to have fun”.
The answer is “Absolutely”
If you’d like to say what kind of polyam?
Relationship Anarchy
Basically I do what I feel, don’t like labels, and won’t ever ask anyone I’m with to restrict themselves on my accountEdit: You don’t need me to explain XD
Was looking through your post history and you seem really cool!
😁 Yeah, we are well versed in R.A and glad others are too and practicing it!
Awh, thanks, we appreciate that!
Feel free to hmu on matrix if you like. You seem cool
Okay, added.
Is it bad that i kinda read this like a llm preprompt? Except for people, and to be honest im kinda here for it. I kinda feel bad for bothering people, and this “preprompt” kinda opens the door for conversation

That’s the idea! :)
I’m glad it’s working, I was worried it wouldn’t. Bystander effect and all that.
I wish people would just write clear and detailed LLM prompts when they want something from me.
I just imagine a black mirror esq morning.
“I wake from my slumber, forlorn from my bed. The lights slowly rise from pitch black to light, i walk over to my smart mirror. Where my AI greets me, “good morning, your preprompt for today is (your name is bob saget, live on 4681 road, your favorite color is blue you work at a car dealership and you are the best salesman” the time is 4:30am mr.saget you must arive by 5:00 if you are to keep your very busy schedule. Good luck bob and have a pleasant day.” The conveyor belt turn on slowly and methodically moving me to my automobile and i leave for work.
99% sure that’s pretty normal for healthy minded people, men, women, trans, non-binary etc.
Making the first move is taking a risk: aka being vulnerable. It’s when they don’t respond enthusiastically and you don’t stop that it’s a problem.
It is normal to feel some degree of trepidation when taking a risk: aka being vulnerable, but I don’t think its a stretch of the imagination to assert that it might be more stressful if you don’t have a firm grasp of neurotypical social graces and nonverbal communication.
As an autistic person, what has worked quite well for me, though takes getting used to, is very transparently communicating about intentions and consent. It can seem quite intense but it does mean everyone knows where they stand and where boundaries lie.
No worries I will make the first move
Pawn to e4
Checkmate.
Your move.
😎
Mate? That’s very forward and a primal way to put it but hey why not
We’re demi and enm so we kind of just become friends with people and hope it works out.
This is how I figured out I was Aro/Ace.
harass me.
Im not fem and i feel like this so many times. What i fear most, much more than rejection is overstepping social lines. Also if youre a woman pls make the first move, its extremely hot if the guy is a switch i can tell you that lol.

Once you get passed the mask my default mode of interaction is flirting! Still too shy to be actually vulnerable tho.
