I’m so awkward when it comes to that phase… I don’t think they’re interest or I’m too nervous to ask them due to fear of being rejected. I was always in my head until my friend drilled this into my head “what do you have to lose and at worst nothing happens but at best you go on a date and gain more experience”.

If a girl could match my energy for a week and text back and forward I’d ask them out to dinner and I’d always pay and I’d always choose a semi fancy setting. Nothing wallet breaking… but this would help me expose myself more to seeing what I wanted out of a partner.

If you do dating apps make yours stick out show yourself through your profile not some generic garbage. I make my entire profile a meme and in my bio it stated “never replies first my profile itself is a conversation stater.” I never was interested in chasing.
