@kat_i_am

Seriously though, that is a very strange girl with less than adequate conversation skills.

yeah… I mean… yeah… I don't have any explanations

@kat_i_am

Oh I don't even blame you
I have handled other situations much less gracefully
for example
last summer, I went on a date (which I didn't realize was actually intended to be a date until I was on it) and uh the guy def wanted to kiss me and I totally noticed/wondered but didn't wanna say anything cause I'm actually pretty shy? and then after the date he texted me and said "you are so bad at reading body language" and then he kinda ghosted me for months so that was great. But the entire time I'm like… ben we gotta talk. and he would be like sorry busy rn
or sorry I'm having a hard day
and you know crap like that
so big mess
but you know even though he was v cute and I had a crush on him once upon a time I would never date him now lol bc uh lots of reasons

@kat_i_am

I would've gone to my brother and been like "Hey, how do you tell some one politely to 'please leave you alone, they're creeping you the heck out'?"

yeah def
I also v much hate alienating ppl though
I try to be v nice

@Angel with a music box

Oof! That sounds awful!
Besides, he should have recognized that you didn't want to kiss him and respected that. People who try and cross personal boundaries without expressed permission really need to work on that.

That's good, always be nice when you can. I kinda do the thing though where I try to be nice then people kinda walk over me sometimes. It's hard to find the balance between "nice" and "pushover" you know? Not saying that your a pushover! Just saying that that's something I struggle with.

I don't think it was that I didn't want to kiss him? Like IDK if I wanted to or not… I think it was mutual reluctance on both sides lol, but he blamed it on me. Like… if he had asked we could have at least talked about it but I wasn't gonna make the move
but you know that's one of like 12 reasons I wouldn't date him

pro tip if you're not sure about anything don't do it

Very good advice.

@Crisis

It's literally the least satisfying "conclusion" to a convo ever.
I just went "?" bc she liked and then questioned my previous question ("what?") so she said

Okay :) bye:) we should all get together when u come back for a late birthday :)
Sabrina and the others
I have to go watch Netflix bye :)

so uh
yeah that's it
I guess we're done talking now?

Well that was weird
Sorry, this girl started talking to me and I couldn't tell her to stop talking to me

@kat_i_am

also consent is v important, even just for kissing lol
to me at least
like if some guy (or girl, ya know) just kissed me out of the blue I would be like… no thank you!
so like… ask? and then there are no hurt feelings or confusion
assuming you/they respect the answer

no it's okay we're just glad you're alive

@Angel with a music box

I also think that people ask about kisses and stuff. If some one asked me "can I kiss you?" it would show that they really respected my wishes. Sorry for the ranting, but it's kind of something I feel strongly about. :D

NO I TOTALLY GET IT ME TOO
also asking is just really cute to me? like it's romantic bc it actually makes the action a two-way agreement thing, no one is forced into it

I told a story about a time when I handled an awkward system with v little grace and now we're talking about consent and stuff like that

my pro tip was don't do stuff if you're not absolutely sure of it
like don't go kissing everyone just cause you can. do it bc you really wanna. with consent of course lol

@kat_i_am

I mean I've never been kissed either lol
I'm on a streak
at this point I don't even know if I wanna break the streak
I could just keep going (of course it helps that no one wants to kiss me lol)

@kat_i_am

yeah I know
there's one person I'd kinda like to kiss lol (and I bet you all know who)
and theoretically I know she's okay with kissing
so I could prob ask
and you know prob get rejected
but I could ask lol
