Agggh I feel so awkward when I try to talk to people who are genuinely trying I get to know me. What I sent:
"Hey again! I am often bad at communication when I'm sober. A bit about me - I'm kind of a hippy; you've probably picked up on that. ๐ Planned interactions stress me out a bit. I really just want to go with the flow. I would definitely like to hang out with you again, but more in if it happens, it happens kind of way. Not to say let's not make plans or anything, but maybe those plans lead to sexy times, maybe they lead to dancing til we pass out, maybe they lead to cuddles. I just want to hang and see where things go, you know? Anyway, hope you're having good weekend;"
I dunno. Sending that felt real, but fake too.
