i mean, im a bit unique in that i like initiating all romantic stuff (due to prior bad experiences), so basically just any time im not initiating it i find it creepy. like i just straight up asked my current bf if he wanted to cuddle and go on dates. i dont fuck around, and a lot of nice guys ™ are clueless and need it drawn out for them

in general its gonna vary woman to woman, if youre asking for the purpose of asking someone out give us tha deets

Not asking anyone out, but with quarantine lifting in my area soon, I figured it was the right time to ask.

Social context and personal intimacy? If it’s inappropriate for the environment or we just plain dont know each other?

I’m assuming the latter, in which case I typically (in general not specifically flirting) try to complement people on aesthetic choices, e.g. how they do their nails, their jewelry, complement their choice of hair color or the way it’s cut/styled.

I believe Aleph was phrasing her answer as a question, with the first part being how she judges and the second part being examples of creepy behavior.

Yeah sorry for the ambiguity, “the line” would be the social context and personal intimacy I guess.

Depends on environment. If someone’s playing eyeball tennis with you in a bar then you’re fairly clear to go over and introduce yourself. Just don’t be overbearing and don’t hang around for long.

obligatory Chapo/reddit not a woman disclaimer.

Just be interesting rather than sexual. If the convo flows well then ask for their Instagram or phone number.

If they give it to you it’s a good sign, but they could also be doing it to get you to fuck off. Whether they say yes or no, give them some space anyway.

Message them some other time and ask to go out with them to something that’s obviously a date.

Don’t ask people here lol

Definitely not on reddit either. Ask real life friends and if you don’t have real life friends then do that first before pursuing other types of relationships.
