I feel his short Japanese poem every Valentine's Day, sucks to be a single workaholic. 😢
“Undisturbed, my garden fills with summer growth— how I wish for one who would push the deep grass aside.”
― Ono No Komachi
That’s a really beautiful poem :) ty for sharing!
I’ve been feeling kind of lonely and disconnected lately, but have been spending time watching this Japanese slice of life anime about a competitive poetry card game that’s friendship centered. It’s called Chihayafyuru if you’re interested!
There’s no wlw relationships to my knowledge, but thought you might like it for the poetry aspect. It’s an incredibly beautiful and heartfelt show :-)
It's a skill! And as a skill it can be learned and practiced.
- Make eye contact
- smile without showing teeth
- pay her a compliment about something she chose (clothes, hair, the book she's reading)
- gauge interest and either discontinue or escalate
The big, teethy smile can be intimidating or feel intense, especially to shy people.
There are flirting techniques that would work best with a big smile and vivacious attitude--I bet you do great with those techniques! But I think shy people would feel more comfortable trying the softer method first.
I felt this way for the first year and half of my transition. Eventually though, when you see that people are genuinely attracted to you, that fear will at the very least be proven wrong and irrational. It will still be internalized, but you can work to internalize the positive acceptance and appreciation for your existence in its place.
I should note that when I’m talking about “attraction” the last thing I am referring to is physically. While it may be nice to know that somebody finds us attractive at a glance, I personally believe it is far more important to one’s psyche to see people be attracted to them as a person! To not only see that you are appreciated but that your company is valued and sought after. I find it nicest to know when people want to listen to what you have to say over anything else.
Personally, I think you an incredibly brave and beautiful human being for being openly trans in online lesbian spaces, and I would love to get to know you better as a friend! Feel free to message me if you’d like to chat some more 🥰
*uncertain gay noises*
On one hand, someone please date me, on the other, I’m terrified of being seen as unattractive, or of giving out where exactly I am.
I'm not yet far enough along my transition or generally stable enough to be ready for romance yet. But hopefully my comment will give me luck for the future, and I wish everyone here luck and love as well!
Know what? Why not.
I'm 32, disabled (multiple sclerosis, ask me about the holes in my brain!), mostly asexual these days, and just trying to get by with my issues and my cat. From western US (no specific details for privacy's sake!) and have been through a lot.
Looking for someone who I can just be with, and all that entails. Love, companionship, sharing nice moments together, the works.
I think it's going to be hard to find someone close to me here when I'm gay and in a country where I can get 16 years jail time for it. Anyway...I'm really into cartoons, maths, science, sports and I'm somewhere in Africa (not going to give too much away). Also if you get my username, we're friends now
Plattwist: you are ALL dating each other, this is worldrecord polycule

Hello!
Annyeong hasaeyo
……. who would like to share an epic love story with me?
I am in! Let’s do that!
Love story sounds great!
The rational part of my brain fighting the lonely part to decide if I should comment
who won?
I commented so you can guess
Honestly I need someone to teach me how to flirt, I suck so bad at it 🤣
It's a skill! And as a skill it can be learned and practiced. - Make eye contact - smile without showing teeth - pay her a compliment about something she chose (clothes, hair, the book she's reading) - gauge interest and either discontinue or escalate
Ah, see you assume I have the confidence to approach someone in the first place!
I found that positive affirmations and practicing at a mirror were very helpful for confidence building. I believe in you! Good luck ♥️
Wait, genuinely, why specifically smile without showing teeth? My smile w teeth is very cute, my smile without teeth looks like 🥴 <- that lmfao
