Lol maybe it’s because I’m painfully aro but I love flirting like this. Like please, just tell me you are flirting instead of this subtle “oh, what is your favourite kind of flower?” kind of stuff. Especially when it’s girls flirting with me. Sometimes I think about all the cute girlfriends I probably missed out on because I could never tell if they were flirting.

Oh, god yes. Please just tell me if you’re interested, especially if you’re a woman. Like, if you compliment my clothes or hair I don’t know if that’s flirting or just being nice. I’ve made a fool out of myself too many times. Also, if you want to go out with me, just ask me on a date. I’ve had guys ask me “what are you doing later?” so many times and I’m like ”Idk, probaly gonna go home and hang out with this person” only to realize after the fact he was trying to ask me out. Just be blunt. I don’t do the coy stuff. 

Oh god, I can’t tell when I’m flirting either. I say things and then like the next day I’m thinking about it and I’m like “oh ffs that was probably flirting but like I just like to compliment my friends and make them feel loved and god fucking damn it I probably made things so awkward”. My ex would be all “Why were you flirting with that girl???” and I would be like “I was just being nice??? idk was I flirting???”

I feel this so hard. 

I suppose that’s why I’m super blunt anymore. Like, if I want to be with someone I’m just flat out like “so do you have a SO? are you interested in women? Can I have your number? ” Which always makes me nervous with girls because that can go really awesome or very very badly. 

As well as identifying as demi, I know I’m towards the aro side of things too. A lot of romantic gestures make me feel awkward and uncomfortable in RL. My SO and I have a weekly date night for his benefit, but he’s done a lot to ensure that it’s quite low key so it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I get what many romantic acts and gestures are but much of it really does make me shudder.

I feel ya. I’m aro but I didn’t know that was an actual thing until about a year ago. It might’ve made my last relationship better if I would have understood that and my fiance wouldn’t’ve felt like I didn’t want to with him because cuddling and PDA and romantic gestures make me super uncomfortable. 

It;s good though that your SO keeps it lowkey and helps you be more comfortable. 

Like you, if it’s a plot point I get it, and I can read it. However, IRL I’m useless. I can never tell if I’m flirting or being flirted with unless I’ve been drinking. Then I know I’m flirting (because I am super obvious and my flirting is like “you have pretty eyes and I think you’re super hot”).

Welp. I completely lost one file I was working on. Awesome. 

@unforth-ninawaters
Yeah. It was my fault cause I had half a million tabs open but stil. It’s annoying.

I’ve used docs before but I kinda hate it. It’s useful for sharing with betas and stuff but I don’t like it. I dunno why. There’s no good reason for me to hate it, I just do. 

@samanddeaninpanties
😛 You say weird like it’s a bad thing, lol. I know I’m odd, I take great pride in that.

Drop box is great. I used to use that for sharing class notes in my giant history classes all the time. I don’t much anymore but maybe I should try it again. Usually I use the microsoft onedrive cloud. Microsoft has it’s issues, but it’s convenient. If I can’t take my laptop places I can take my tablet so I’ve definitely used it to get writing done in doctors offices from time to time. It wouldn’t hurt to save stuff in the drop box, too though. I’d probably lose fewer files. 

I’m starting to migrate over to Dropbox and LibreOffice for most of my fic writing needs.

I often have connection issues with Google Drive on desktop, and I’m already paying for a Dropbox so that all my photos are backed up.

Also switched to Linux Mint for main writing PC and Dropbox is available for the OS.

I don’t think I’ve tried LibreOffice. I know I downloaded another program in the past, (on a different computer) but it was difficult for me to use. (I don’t remeber what it was called.) I tend to get headaches if I stare at a white screen for too long, and the program I used didn’t allow me to change the color of the papre. I know it’s a super minor thing, but I like what I like. 

Definitely willing to try LibreOffice, though.

Quick question: would you/do you read fanfic that doesn’t have explicit smut?

Definitely. I’ll take an interesting story over smut any day. A couple of my favorites are either G or T rated. And I personally have written more stuff that’s T or M rated than explicit stuff. 

Honestly, if you’re not comfortable writing or reading explicit stuff for wahtever reason I think it’s perfectly okay to write or read something without smut. There’s not shame in it at all. Write what you’re inpired to and comfortable with writing.
