Like others have said, it’s the not-taking-no-for-an-answer bit. I’m gay as hell and it can be a little awkward to get asked out by dudes, but it’s generally not uncomfortable or creepy until they keep trying.

Also the lack of awareness that someone’s uncomfortable or not into the situation.

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.

Context. If I don’t know them and they’re creeping on me it puts me in a weird position as I don’t know them or how they’ll react if I say no.

If I do know them, but feel uncomfortable, that should be obvious as I will nervously laugh a lot and try to change the subject/end the conversation. I find a lot of guys don’t understand/ won’t accept this which is never fun, to put it mildly.

If we know each other and I act creepy back then you know it’s cool.

Basically, if people seem uncomfortable, stop. If they tell you to stop, stop. It’s pretty simple most of the time. But then again human communication can be complicated.

Wait, so that time that you barfed up a half-digested mouse in front of me while maintaining eye contact, you were flirting?
