General Relationship Thread

Wait wat

Probably because I have some self-esteem issues, I tend to be pretty oblivious to when someone might be into me. With one of my exes, I was SO oblivious she finally had to say, "Can I lie on top of you?" Until then, we'd just been musical partners - she sang and I played guitar in coffeehouses around town.

I mean, when an attractive chick asks you a question like that, what do you say other than, "Um, sure"?

She later turned out to be a cheating hussy, but that's beside the point.

If I were single, I'm not sure who I could ask out. I mean, I identify as a genderqueer ftm, which means I see myself as fairly androgynous. I want to have boy sexybits, but I currently have girl ones. I suppose I'd be limited to bisexuals? So confusing...

Interesting. I got this when I tried to like jerri's post:



Are you judging me, BF? :P

You could ask out people who were queer-accepting and attracted to you? I dunno, seems like you just make sure your prospective partner accepts who/what you are and go from there? Aggressively filtering on OkCupid can get you queer-friendly people.

Man, no one ever hits on me, man or woman. What am I doing wrong?
...Besides being a homebody who prefers the company of books and video games. Though I did get asked out in the library once!

Yeah I think being a hermit is impacting my rate-of-getting-hit-on these days.

Either that or people can see the Purity of my True Love for Ingmar in one glance. That sounds way more romantic, let's go with that.

Ohhhh, so it's my husband that's the problem... that I can take care of!

<tries to avoid flirting with married women on the internet>

<unless they indicate beforehand that they're okay with it>

Go for it, sugar. ;)

This thread is going to a weird place.

But it could get even weirder, so don't mind me.

That's how affairs start, you know! Mmm, extramarital booty.

Is this the part where people start posting bodypillows? And why yes, I did in fact read that entire thread.

ONE TIME, SPEAK HAD THE AUDACITY TO GIVE ME A HUG

The audacity of hugs!

We're not in your jurisdiction, narc. You can't control us.

The lesbian menace on Broken Forum runs deeper than I thought.

She is obviously a part of the Slut Vote.

(Hopefully SWB realizes I am making a terrible joke based on shit from the political section of the board and I totally don't mean anything bad by it at all especially since I TOO AM PART OF THE SLUT VOTE)

Sluts that stay together... vote together?

Slut votes for everyone! Lesbian hugs all around!

I do realize you're making a joke, and I am totally okay with it. :D

<rummages through closet for appropriate Slut Voting clothes>

<decides that's too much effort, sticks with t-shirt and yoga pants>

Haha, I just had a sudden pang after posting the initial joke of, "Wait, shit, I don't think I've seen her over there for all the 'lol Slut Vote' stuff, MUST CLARIFY."

I'm a weirdo. :(

It's totally okay! I just stay out of the politics forums pretty much entirely.

People look at you strangely if you interrupt their political discussions to give out hugs.

Alligator has been covering all my hug needs over there (I may have had a bit of an Episode in one thread), so I forgive you for avoiding it. <3

I don't own any slut voting clothes (too many years being a practical, volunteering mom) :(

Can I join in anyway?

Why are you all so sexist towards men? It's not just women that get to be sluts. Shit, look at Aeon!

No really, look at him! What a ho.

Given I am sitting around in PJ pants and a sweatshirt, I think the dress code is probably optional.

I hope.

Sorry, are we being sexist? Aeon! Strut your stuff, ho! :D

*puts on fancy undies*

I'm not just talking about Aeon.

YOU'RE WELCOME

<menace menace menace>

Ugh. Deviant art.

It's for a Secret Santa commission. I have no artistic talent whatsoever. :P

I'm in one!

I hear they're swell.

Well, I missed a chunk here. Just wanted to throw in how my mother met her last girlfriend. They were chatting at a bus stop (really) and getting "the vibe," so Mom asked, "So what's your name?" and her soon-to-be-gf said "Gaye." And Mom, being sort of giggly, said "oh, does that mean anything?" and Gaye said "my mom was psychic"

She later informed us that she rarely has the chutzpah to use that line, but she really liked Mom :)
