      There’s a lot of women who can’t do that either. It’s not a movie and a lot of us have the same executive functioning disorders that make this confusing. I think people need to find someone who connects with them so pretending to be someone else is a bad strategy

      That’s almost impossible to do over text.

      Almost.

      So I talk to them how I talk to my friends with a lot more enthusiastism.

      That ends up where I start just turning into an essay writer and I have overwhelmed at 6 in the past year.

      So maybe not normal talk either.

        I’m so bad at flirting over text. I can do it irl somewhat once the first bit of convo gets jumpstarted but mannn dating apps kill me. I get far more people down to hang in person than ever from a dating app.
