I asked out a dude today! I used to have a rule against doing that because idk, I used to think men go for what they want and maybe I'm not what he wants so that's why he isn't asking me out. But I get the impression men are shy of doing that now idk 🤷‍♀️

This dude was married, which tracks because I'm in a town where everyone gets married by 20 😅 but it's ok it's important to shoot your shot even when the odds are low!

Am having consolation margaritas and tacos now. One day the prophecy will be fulfilled 🙌🌮🙌

Trying not to make a joke about your Freudian slip about taco being fulfilled but I can't resist

I'm not even mad! Some things gotta be said and some things gotta get filled 😅

Shoot yer shot, the worse they can say is no

It hurts the ego a bit but that's ok my ego is massive I can handle it 😅

Is there bacon on your taco?

No, I got a fish taco, cane asada, barbacola, and chicken. There's no option to add bacon here alas alas

Sounds delish. Wen invite for fish taco!? 🤓

I'm always down for a taco party 🎉

I'll bring the bacon 👊

I'm still single at age 22, so I get that feeling.

Unlike you, though, I'm actually looking for a way to support myself before I even begin to think about letting love find me.

22 is still so young, you a baby hon! I've long since been supporting myself, but sometimes I wonder if that's been a impediment in me finding love. Dudes sometimes get intimidated.

I hope you're still open minded to love even as you're still working on yourself. Life is a journey and it's easier with a partner who has your back and wants to help you grow. Don't ignore the pretty young things that are batting their eyes at you 😘

Surprisingly, I don't get that while focusing on myself. Maybe it's because of an autism impediment where I don't get hints from the ladies.

Who knows, though?

I bet you have some interest that you don't even notice. I feel like I've spent half my life flirting with autistic men to no avail. I know so much about trains and public transit as a result 🤣

So the hint I'd give you is, if anyone around you is asking about your special interest then they're probably interested in more than just your special interest.

It can be annoying because it's all subtle communication, but sometimes just directly ask, "maybe I'm getting the wrong vibe but, are you flirting with me?"

Any answer other than a direct no is a yes. "What?! You think I was flirting with you? 🫦" = Yes I am obvs flirting with you.

Here's hoping we can all get laid! 🥂

I talk about my special interest (primarily FLOSS and alt-tech for gaming and music production) on two YouTube channels (I have a third for a Reddit storytelling deal I'm trying out as well).

I might have been too smart for normies. :p

Maybe you are too smart for normies, maybe so maybe so. But never think there's not a lady out there whos also feeling like she's too smart for normies. You'll find your person hon 💖

I feel like something shifted in culture where a percentage of guys lost the cultural knowledge of how to ask a woman out. They're too unpracticed, shy, scared to offend, clumsy with the pass, or whatever. Even when they're feeling the vibes, they don't trust it enough to go for it.

This will make me seem old (I am old), but maybe it's dating apps? Maybe having dedicated spaces in which we shoot our shot from a distance took guys out of the in-person game. I dunno. But something happened.

I agree with you that something shifted. That's why I'm trying to do my part and like, Sadie Hawkins things I guess? 😅

I'm sure things will get to a point of normalization eventually, but being on the cutting edge of technology adaptation is not always a good thing. The culture is all confused now. But like a snow globe shaken up I'm sure things will eventually settle.
