This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I usually get people asking for my number or socials when they're interested, asking out tends to happen over electronic communication after that.

My process is basically

  1. Casual conversation- if you don't hit it off naturally here, let it go.
  2. Reciprocal flirting
  3. Exchange contact info
  4. Develop friendship
  5. Ask out directly
  6. ???
  7. Go back to 1

I also get told I'm very attractive in various verbage near daily so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Idk, just be respectful and don't be pushy if they're trying to let you down (and pay attention for if they're trying to do it gently)

I had insanely low self-esteem in my young adult life and so I found those dating gurus. The one I found wasn't as toxic as many. But he still had some real shit advise that I took into my attempts of dating. Sometimes it worked, but very often I was seen as an ass (rightfully so) and when it came down to it. Just being me was the winning combo.

Weird, I know.

Works this way even if you are not attractive. Source: I have a face like a foot, and have no problem dating.

So far, they only asked to see me naked, which is a good thing...because I can't mentally handle a date rn.
