This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't buy the "speed dating has less men than women" thing for a second unless they're talking about the 45+ bracket.

In fact I just checked a local speed dating event and the male tickets were sold out and the female ones had a 2 for 1 promo lol

I usually get people asking for my number or socials when they're interested, asking out tends to happen over electronic communication after that.

My process is basically

  1. Casual conversation- if you don't hit it off naturally here, let it go.
  2. Reciprocal flirting
  3. Exchange contact info
  4. Develop friendship
  5. Ask out directly
  6. ???
  7. Go back to 1

I also get told I'm very attractive in various verbage near daily so 🤷‍♀️

Idk, just be respectful and don't be pushy if they're trying to let you down (and pay attention for if they're trying to do it gently)

Well, we need referrals from friends to know men are safe. Even then i take it with a grain of salt
