    Honestly this is why I started just telling people when I’m crushing on them.

    The worst thing that has ever happened as a result was that they were flattered but did not return the feelings. And honestly? Knowing that helped me move on and stay friends with those people.

    I am very much a flirt by nature and this just takes out all the guesswork hahaha. Now, TO BE FAIR, I am a woman and very, uh, let’s just say i get called “cute” and “adorable” a lot, I don’t wanna toot my own horn too much here, but my point is that I am non-threatening. This tactic may not be taken as well coming from a man, but I think it also heavily depends on existing rapport (or lack thereof) with the person of interest.

    I posted this comment on the same meme in a different comm, but it’s worth saying again:

    I’m a big proponent of “showing your weird” – I’ve always liked weird people because they don’t appear to be hiding anything, they just have a genuine quality normal people don’t, whereas people who seem “perfect” or “normal” (whatever that means) are often too good to be true, and are fucked up in a way they have to hide.

    I’ve had success showing my weird; it weeds out those who would not want me, and that prevents wasted time and energy on something that’d never work.

    All this being said, if I were on a date with a person and they started doing this, well, I’d be extremely interested.
