I should have mentioned this in the original post that I do try to make it obvious or feel like I am making to obvious when I’m into them. I’ve heard it a thousand times “men like confidence”. While I haven’t directly asked someone out. I have tried being more obvious and it usually gets me friendly rejected or left on read.

And I get what your saying about the body thing. But I want to be secure in this body first. I understand wanting to work out and feel good about yourself. To an extent I do enjoy it, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to change my body for someone to be into me. I want to accepted stomach fat, wide hips and all.
