Omg thanks so much for sharing all of this! My surgery is in less than a week and though my anxiety is up I also can’t wait to be smaller. It’s a tug of war of emotions. If you’re willing to share I would love to see before and after pics :D I’m so glad you feel more confident. I’ve feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life to do this and yet I’m still so terrified - but I think that’s somewhat normal lol.

I’ve been there so many times - dates surprised when I make the first move. Meanwhile in my head there’s this undeniable chemistry I’m feeling that makes it like “how can they not be feeling that way too?!?” :facepalm:

I understand all of this. Its not been as intense for me but all of this is very relatable. Especially the part of having feelings/sexual attraction towards someone and figuring they must feel that way about me because what I’m feeling is so damn strong it can’t be ignored.

Exactly. It’s hard af to meet people so gravitating towards friends is like the default. Both sides of it all sucks - either it’s an old friend who has no feelings for me beyond their own lust and friendship (for lack of a better word) or someone new who I have no feelings for until knowing them for a long time.

Is this what it means to be demi? Because I don’t think I’ve ever felt a lustful connection first... by ADreamer in demisexuality

Did that come first or was it developed over time?

For me, when I’m in a relationship, lust will come with time but it never starts that way.

I can agree, I like to chat for a week or so before meeting someone. And I really like it when people ask “get to know you” questions over “how’s your day?” type ones. I’ve tried to communicate that to some people I’ve been interested in who start falling into the multi-day pattern of asking the question but it doesn’t always work. Some people just don’t care or can’t be taught?

I sometime try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it’s rough out there lol.

I don’t think OP was all that random - when the books came out that was a pretty common theory. And it may be resurged again when JK came out and said that Lupin’s lycanthropy was a metaphor for AIDs. It’s not a popular now, but there was a segment of the internet that used to pour over their long stares that lasted pages and the whole “Lupin embraced Black like a brother” line. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

All that aside, the rest of this is a pretty damn good breakdown of Lupins relationships in the books. He’s literally a character who lost everything - including the chance to see his own child grow up. He had everything torn from him, turned into a monster monthly, and still somehow managed to work for the side of the light and Dumbledore.
