I like that the white stripe will be the white of the page, though. That's neat! March 06, 2023 at 12:15AM

When I tell you I used to be so confused before I realized I was aroace at how all these characters could just fall in love with random people they’d just met lmao. Also enemies to lovers was always the bane of my existence, like what do you mean their attractiveness is enough to get you to look past all their heinous misdeeds??? March 06, 2023 at 12:13AM

Hard same! That's why friends to lovers has been the only way I indulge in fictional romance. Irl I'm pretty meh about being in a relationship, but I don't discount the possibility that I could just be demi. March 06, 2023 at 12:11AM

Had 6 dates with a woman over two weeks. It moved really fast, 5 of the dates were excellent and really romantic. 3rd, 4th, 5th dates ended up at her place. During all of that, she was the one pursuing me basically except that I scheduled dates quickly after she suggested them. However 6th date was awkward day date with only a half kiss and other awkward moments, real robotic behavior by me, all my fault due to an extraneous thing. We then set up a date but I had to cancel, we then had a phone call where I explained why, she was friendly and made a couple of dirty jokes, generic ones not about me but open on the topic, but since that 6th date there has been no flirting. Over two and a half weeks since then we've texted off and on, platonically and separated by days, I get fast replies still and she is pretty detailed about what she's doing and why she's busy, and I also said I was busy. Feels like it's basically faded off but not sure. It's almost as likely that

Had my mix of good and terrible men, but I know if you meet someone at the bar then go to a motel with friends and hookup, it's just for the sex. However the guy asked for my IG through one of my friends cause he was too shy to ask me directly, and we've talked for a while and the age gap is 1-2 years.( I'm 22. )He'd ask me about my day, but it seems like the convo is dry? In person it wasn't though. We'd laugh and talk alot, so I'm thinking he's just not great at chatting. He was really sweet and cuddly, always asking me for consent and even kissed me to wake me up, saying he had to leave the night we met and slept together. He did send me a few vids of him hanging out with friends, and then hasn't messaged anymore. He does heart react to my IG story a few times. Should I man up and initiate the convo sometimes instead? People say you should let him do the effort, or to not chase, and I'm just not sure what to do? I have come from relationsh
