I feel like the difference between being flirty and nice is hard for me

 

Well you’re NOT boring so

 

The difference between flirting and being nice is all about da eyes

 

Apparently I’m a flirtatious person but I don’t see it

 

you do call everyone daddy

 

Even Daisy

 

I think I'm just too attractive

 

It’s way easier to flirt with friends than people I’m actually interested in or could be interested in. I think it’s because I know it’s just fun and there’s no real potential of misreading something and making things weird.

 

it's 2018, women can be daddies, stay woke

 

Cute cashier at chipotle: “hi I like your sweater it’s cute!”
Me: “thanks”
Her: “how’s your night going?”
Me: “Hungry”
Her: “ok have nice night sir”

Deep sigh

 

Lmao. Hungry.

 

I got up the courage to message this guy I like and we talked for a few hours and then he gave me his number and said we should hang out, but said he's not good at keeping in touch via text. I texted him anyway just so he would have my number and said I wanted to hang out too, but this was over a week ago now and still no response. I should also point out that this is not just any guy to me, I have liked him for about 20 years. Seriously, since elementary school. I'm so done waiting for a shot at this point, but I also hate feeling like I'm annoying someone, so I just drop conversations that aren't being responded to. I guess I'll just continue being forever alone.

 

I think if you waited a week, it's perfectly acceptable to either send him another message or text and be like 'hey, I know you said you aren't good at keeping touch via text, but I sent you one last week, just wanted to follow-up' sort of thing. After all, he did give you his number. I doubt he would have given it to you if he had planned on ignoring you.

Or (gulp) give him a call?

 

I hate that calling is considered weird now. It’s so much more efficient, especially when you have someone who says they don’t like texting. Also, talking on the phone is nice, I don’t care what y’all say.

 

agreed

 

I'm sorry I have anxiety

 

apology not accepted

 

I forgive you

 

bc when chase goes low i go high

 

you always go high

 

ok i get it

 

they're really taking potshots at you

 

So much for the tolerant Chase

 

And I understand that that’s a genuine factor for people. But there are those who make blanket statements about how talking on the phone is weird and I’m sorry, but it’s just not. Maybe it’s difficult for you, but it’s not weird or creepy.

Old man side tangent: A lot of my employees are like 17-20yo and something I’ve noticed is that, despite not being that much younger than me, the generational gap is huge and a lot of them just don’t know how to talk on the phone. They’ll call and after I answer they’ll just directly into, “I can’t come in” or “is my check there?” And I’m like motherfucker who is this? They just bypass the whole introductory part. Texting, as great as it is, has played a big part in changing the game in terms of social interaction and so many of these kids are just so socially inept. And then the general agreeable that talking on the phone is weird and creepy and that you should text instead doesn’t help. But I also understand cause, like I said, they literally don’t know how.
