Hello everyone~ The megathread is very eepy this week so I am being very quiet and not posting a whole essay as that might disturb their rest. The megathread does a lot of work for us after all, so they deserve to rest a little. Our regularly scheduled effortposts will continue next week.
Nonetheless, I hope that you (yes you!) are doing well, whenever it may be that you happen to be dropping in. I wish you all the best~

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
You can only message if you both liked each other right? Please do not do the thing where you both like each other but neither makes a move
I have no idea how to talk to people on dating apps. I was in a very long relationship until just a few years ago and never really dated. Every relationship I've been in since has evolved from being friends first. I have no experience making moves via text.
I was in a long relationship too! 11 years. Ask them out on a date and explicitly say its a date. Pick whatever, you know them better than I do - movie, mini golf, coffee, whatever.
why does it being on a dating app matter? just strike normal conversation and see where things go. be confident & interesting and if the vibes are right a lil flirty.
that's what I'd do but I've never been on the apps so ๐คทโโ๏ธ
It's mainly a lack of social skills due to never dating the way most people do combined with autism. Being social in a situation where I can't see or hear the person is really difficult unless I know them extremely well. I'm always worrying that I'll say something stupid and fuck it up.
