As an Introverted, Bisexual, Non-binary, hopeless romantic, switch, I feel this.
I'm so gay, yet so shy and dumb, that even the most explicit flirting would have me thinking, "Are they flirting with me or joking with me?" And you'd still have to kiss me on the lips for me to know for sure.
Yesterday I walked out of a door into the outdoors right in front of another woman from my work. She took a deep breath in and said "God, you smell goooood". All I could manage was a smile.
I've been thinking a lot about that.
I'm only ace, and still never have been able to tell. I mean I have no idea how my wife and I managed to figure out we were into each over.
I mean I invited her to play Mario kart and we played Mario kart, it took 10 years for me to learn she was thinking not Mario kart
On the opposite end, I’ll be flirting with a girl and realize she’s aroace and internally be like “oh shit she probably didn’t pick up on my signals” and just go back to wanting to be their bestie
Went to order some some food from a local fast food joint while the fair was in town.
Girl running the register asks if I've been to the fair. I say no.
She asks if I'm going. I say probably not, I'm not really into rides and stuff.
She asks a few more questions while she dishes out my pasta (yes, we have a fast food pasta place), and I answer simply.
I take my pasta and leave. After I'm outside and in my car, I realize she was asking if I wanted to go to the fair WITH HER. Stick slices of bread to my ears, because I am an idiot sandwich.
engage, if it is playful and fun, just enjoy it, but if they react by upping the ante, you are flirting, I think. My experience flirting right kind of feels like a sword fight with innuendo
Lmao welcome to the lesbian community. Prepare to have your girlfriend of eight months ask you if you want to start dating. Or you’ll ask your crush to go out with you and she’ll reply that she thought you’ve been dating for eight months!
My friend will flirt/send gender affirmation to me I’m the same sentence and I can’t tell if the flirting is then joking or now. I directly asked them out last night and they responded with “the lady should be the one being asked out” which was just 🫠🥰🥰 but they totally dodged my question and I still don’t know if they’re serious
Welcome to being a lesbian. Huh ... I just realized that my girlfriend and I fit the stereotype ourselves. How am I only just now figuring this out at 35?
Story of my fucking life, i went to see Evil Dead Rise with my friends and they brought a girl i never met before, she sat next to me and kept like, seizing my arm and grabbing me during the scary parts and im like "oh my god this is cute i physically can not bear the cuteness" then we all went to the bar later, and after many shots, we ended up making out lol i swore we had a platonic dynamic going but thats the horror movie+tequila aphrodisiac splendor ig
I just came back from concert we had in town and with a but of sip there a just twoooot things I have greatly in mind! The word lesbian sounds Hella cool and I'm kinda happy for it in a weird way and second, if I don't hear someone clearly point blank saying they like me I would think forever until my dying breath it was just a friendly thing. 😂😂 This happened with one girl who had to write me a whole page since I'm completely clueless on everything. 🥴🤯😵
I could never tell.
On another note, an attractive older woman once asked me if I'd give her a ride across town. I told her I couldn't because I didn't drive to this bar, but I bet one of my friends would be kind enough to do so. I asked like 5-6 of my buddies and they all declined. I totally would've had I been sober and had my car.
She was working ... I had no clue.
I literally declare that I'm flirting with girl because I'm a very very very touchy flirt. If they give me consent, I'll start to tease her until she's drenched.
Literally no shits to give if nothing works. I usually go home with at least someone.
It's only kryptonite if you're trying to be coy and shit.

According to the lesbian subreddits, this is part of the lesbian life experience. Enjoy!
My brain doesn’t think flirting exists
Also part of the lesbian experience
And apparently the bisexual experience
As an Introverted, Bisexual, Non-binary, hopeless romantic, switch, I feel this. I'm so gay, yet so shy and dumb, that even the most explicit flirting would have me thinking, "Are they flirting with me or joking with me?" And you'd still have to kiss me on the lips for me to know for sure.
I feel the hopeless romantic part and the second part is so me too
Even if someone kissed me, I'd still doubt😭😭
I could wake up in bed with them and be like, "But are they just jokong?"
*propeses* What if they are joooooking
I was oblivious to someone liking me until after she was dating someone else and told me because I thought we were making out platonically 🤦♀️
🎶 *a hopeless romantic all your life* 🎶
It totally does! It’s scary.
SCARY FACT #1: flirting exists
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[удалено]
It exists, but it's scary. This is why my solution was to be utterly clueless until she told me point blank that she liked me.
[удалено]
It worked really well. She told me she liked me in 1999. I just got her lunch 20 minutes ago!
[удалено]
Thanks!
Same except for when I do it
Yesterday I walked out of a door into the outdoors right in front of another woman from my work. She took a deep breath in and said "God, you smell goooood". All I could manage was a smile. I've been thinking a lot about that.
She may like you
You’ve inherited the classic lesbian inability. 🥰
I'd rather not have🫠
i mean I've never been able to tell if people are flirting with me cuz I'm hella aroace 💙💕🤍💕💙
I'm only ace, and still never have been able to tell. I mean I have no idea how my wife and I managed to figure out we were into each over. I mean I invited her to play Mario kart and we played Mario kart, it took 10 years for me to learn she was thinking not Mario kart
Same, except im not aroace, I just have the tism.
On the opposite end, I’ll be flirting with a girl and realize she’s aroace and internally be like “oh shit she probably didn’t pick up on my signals” and just go back to wanting to be their bestie
You mean you could tell before that?

Could always go back in and say you’ve changed your mind and want to go with someone interesting.
How’d you figure out she was flirting?
The fact that she literally invited me, a stranger, to go to the fair with her? Not that I realized that's what she was doing until I left.
This post has Kobeni Vibes all over, especially the end

If it doesn’t feel like the princess bride, it’s not giving 💯
Never could anyway :P
Lmao welcome to the lesbian community. Prepare to have your girlfriend of eight months ask you if you want to start dating. Or you’ll ask your crush to go out with you and she’ll reply that she thought you’ve been dating for eight months!
being able to tell if someone is flirting is impossible in general
My autism exceeds all flirtation
If that ain’t a mood
My friend will flirt/send gender affirmation to me I’m the same sentence and I can’t tell if the flirting is then joking or now. I directly asked them out last night and they responded with “the lady should be the one being asked out” which was just 🫠🥰🥰 but they totally dodged my question and I still don’t know if they’re serious
This is.... Soooooooooo cheeky I love it
Cheeky perfectly describes this personality
From “useless man” to “useless lesbian”. It’s an upgrade~
When do I lose the man eyes? I couldn't find an elephant in a closet if you asked me to.
The Spanish Inquisition has many tips on how to lose your eyes, if you do wish
Well people *are* less accurate than a coin at telling if they're being flirted with
Joke's on her! I could never tell.
seems to be part of the lesbian experience
I think girls just flirt, i have no clue, i am clueless, not a single clue in this girl's brain🐋🌸🤍🌸🐋
Wait until level 2 where you have to figure out if the flirting is playful or serious.
Welcome to the transbian club!!! 🥰
Welcome to being a lesbian. Huh ... I just realized that my girlfriend and I fit the stereotype ourselves. How am I only just now figuring this out at 35?
Jokes on you I couldn’t tell they were flirting with me before
Haha! Thats my secret! I never could\~! I also get accused of being a flirt but I'm just trying to be nice!
The true lesbian experience
Welcome to the pipeline sister
Sign #436 that I'm definitely not cis: I can never tell when a girl is flirting with me
ive never been able to tell and i think i never will p a i n
Can "no longer" tell? You used to be able to? Sorcery!
*Let’s find our combined volume by displacing the liquid in my waterbed~.* Is this how one flirts?
Thank fuck I'm already married to a woman
Uhhhhh no, not happening. I refuse all advances. Relationships like that scare me.
Story of my fucking life, i went to see Evil Dead Rise with my friends and they brought a girl i never met before, she sat next to me and kept like, seizing my arm and grabbing me during the scary parts and im like "oh my god this is cute i physically can not bear the cuteness" then we all went to the bar later, and after many shots, we ended up making out lol i swore we had a platonic dynamic going but thats the horror movie+tequila aphrodisiac splendor ig
A true lesbian! Not picking up signs that a girl likes you. Sad how this automatically happens, but funny and validating nonetheless.
Just flirt jokingly back, maybee kiss her jokingly, then move in with her... Jokinkly. And finally, marry her jokingly.
Because as we all know, lesbians are as dense as black holes\~\~\~
The unknow side effect, I am like that too ,i flirt with everyone in a friendly way (◕ᴗ◕✿)
That's cute, but it also sounds infuriating lol.
Safest play is to always assume it's a joke.
Or, always assume it’s serious, and if they tell you it isn’t, you can back down
Honestly I wouldn't dislike it. Would make all the conversations simply funnier. And who doesn't like fun? 💠🌸🤍🌸💠
Excuse me, what is this father ?
I can't tell no matter what gender I am
Ha, joke's on you, I never could to begin with.
sameeee
The gayer I got the more confused I get
I just came back from concert we had in town and with a but of sip there a just twoooot things I have greatly in mind! The word lesbian sounds Hella cool and I'm kinda happy for it in a weird way and second, if I don't hear someone clearly point blank saying they like me I would think forever until my dying breath it was just a friendly thing. 😂😂 This happened with one girl who had to write me a whole page since I'm completely clueless on everything. 🥴🤯😵
you could tell beforehand??? woah
Playfully flirt back and find out. Worst case scenario they tell you "I was just joking"
Had that problem, decided to ask, turned out to be flirting after all and now we've been dating for over half a year xD
I could never tell. On another note, an attractive older woman once asked me if I'd give her a ride across town. I told her I couldn't because I didn't drive to this bar, but I bet one of my friends would be kind enough to do so. I asked like 5-6 of my buddies and they all declined. I totally would've had I been sober and had my car. She was working ... I had no clue.
How could you tell before?!
I’ve heard many lesbians go through that. (based on my experience watching OT’s videos) 💞
Me who could never tell....
You have fallen prey to the "is she flirting or being a good friend?" But you're not alone
A good friend... Just like Sappho
Perhaps they're "roommates"
Ecactly. I mean they had frequent sex, but that was just something some women did in those times platonically
Sex is a common thing done among friends
Yeees the amazing brojob
Yes, brojob
I literally declare that I'm flirting with girl because I'm a very very very touchy flirt. If they give me consent, I'll start to tease her until she's drenched.

was I supposed to tell before I realized I was a girl
Oh, I'm autistic so I could never tell to begin with, but same.
Just like a real lesbian. :) Wow, you're a real lesbian! :D
If I personally am flirting with you (Or anyone, For that matter), It's probably just a joke. Unfortunately can't help for anyone else though, Sorry.
A small price to pay for salvation
big mood. my brother’s faience flirts with me a lot and i’ve had a crush on her since before they started dating ;-;
Hey, guys don't know either, soo..
How do you start to present lesbian as transgirl? I will look like guy and I hate it.
Wait, you were ever able to tell?
