Ya but if everybody just listened to each other like civilized adults and treated each others experiences as valid then who’s gonna make headlines and go viral

Definitely apples v oranges haha I feel like when I’m tryna give someone eyes from across a room/bar my biggest concern is just that I come off as weird not creepy. But men don’t have to worry as often about choosing bear so makes sense.

Its sad bc I feel like this is a trend rn to assume all flirting is creepy unless you’re like Chris Hemsworth himself and I do think there’s people that are gonna jump at the opportunity to blow things out of proportion or be rude abt it but there’s a distinct difference between flirting and flat out creeping and 80% of it is honestly just a gut feeling about intent and circumstance/situation. And the jump from flirting to creep can happen in an instant with a bad vibe or a red flag being raised and that’ll vary from person to person but what’s sad/annoying is I feel like it’s stopped some people from trying at all. Just notice when the other person is uncomfortable and stop when they say no.

Aw babe. I truly wish you the best of luck with that! And just so you hear it today: if someone is right for you then they’ll be right for you - if not, then they won’t and “rejection” will happen either from you or them. It doesn’t make you any less of a wonderful person … unless you’re not lol
