I’ve been out of the dating scene for a long time now because I wanted to put full focus on my studies. I’ve had a couple of hookups during college but nothing recurring or romantically significant.

This is mostly because I know I wanna move out of my country after I graduate to work abroad. Which is not very compatible with the life plans of many people and I don’t really think I’d be able to maintain a long distance relationship.

I’ve recently been thinking a bit deeper about it and figured it wouldn’t hurt to try because I’ve recently connected with a few more people who seem to have plans not to different from mine for after graduating

That said I’ve been friends for a bit of time with this person who I met a couple of months ago. We get along pretty well and I asked about their gender identity and sexual preferences. I then asked if they would like to date and see if anything works out.

To which they replied “who asks anyone to date nowadays?”

My answer was “wdym? What am I supposed to do if I’m interested in getting to know you a bit better?”

And all they replied after that was “🤨💀”

So I’m pretty confused about that whole interaction and I’m not sure what to do
