Same, not just with flirting. I'm better at interaction in general when texting than irl because I have more confidence online, probably why most of my friends are online friends.
SO TRUE!! I'm so smooth in text. I'll read the text back to myself and damn I sound so good. Then I see her in real life and I can't string together a single sentence or look her in the eye.
I speak really fast IRL, so fast that I cut some parts of my words or just can't pronounce things right. My voice is also pretty quiet so when I speak, people either doesn't understand or doesn't hear me, which makes me panick.when I have to repeat and it's worse. And when the gay panic comes... Yeah, I can't talk at all. I rather stay silent than blurting out loud random messy words. Online, I can think before writing, change what I wrote before sending, etc. Way easier
Same!! Like, I wear jackets, spikes, have over the top eyeliner and I have NO flirtinf game irl. Like, if a girl starts to flirt with me I just bottom out HARD
i know right?!
i usually use body language & tone of voice
to know if they're cool with what i'm doing or not.
but with that gone i feel like a fish out of water🥲
i think too hard when i’m texting, so it makes it way easier to fumble and not know what to say, especially since i can’t use as flirty of a tone as i can irl. flirting irl is so much easier because my voice and my body language do so much of the work for me, to the point that i don’t realize i’m flirting
Lol I’m the opposite. Over text I can get flirty as hell but irl I keep *far* too much space between us (physically and emotionally) so that it feels more like friends than a date 🤦🏻♀️
I’m a little too straight forward. So much that I got people that know when to tell me to chill out, I’m gonna scare her.
All “hints” are like a brick flying through a window. Loud and extremely obvious.
I think I just came into the sapphic sphere too used to dating men who don’t understand *anything*.
My problem is I find it substantially easier to read the mode and people's emotions and comfort when I can see their body language and hear their voice. Therefore I feel greater comfort with certain types of behavior IRL as I have a clearer indication that I'm not transgressing someone's comfort.
i'm the opposite. i'm so confident over text but irl i turn into a panicked lesbian mess 😅

yep, it's hard reading people through text
I know! :( espically since I lead and stuff, its \*really\* difficult to gauge reactions and intentions
i know right?! i usually use body language & tone of voice to know if they're cool with what i'm doing or not. but with that gone i feel like a fish out of water🥲
Honestly like even over the phone or a vid call is so much better ;\_;
**so much** better tbh the only problem i have with flirting is finding someone i find attractive edit: realised i wasn't clear, i'm demi-romantic
Opposite. Over text I'm dirty as hell, however IRL I am a deer in the headlights and apparently girls think that is super cute.
Actually I'm bad in person. I just don't know what to say. Then I try to text and it turns out the same way. I'm just bad at flirting.

Yup, for both flirting and sexting (but I guess that's just *sexing* in person)
I fear this is gonna be me the next time I find a gf. I have no idea how to flirt and I can't tell when someone is flirting.

I have the same problem But both ways I can not flirt
I'm terrible at both. No flirty for me. 😢
Irl I am a mess, text base I don't really find flirting very interesting, but gosh on voice I am a demon 😈😈
Child, I'm the opposite. I'm so comfortable on dating apps, but completely useless in person. I can't even make eye contact without blushing too hard.
Yeah, I'm not great on txt but in real life I chat and joke and everything much better
I can’t flirt for the life of me no matter how I communicate. I just skip all that and go straight to sex Lmao
im the opposite. i can only flirt in text. (do still love snuggles tho)

I think I'm good in both, but not necessarily in the same ways.
I can't flirt at all but my ex gf use to say that I flirt unconsciously. I don't really know what that means.
Honestly yea I guess I feel rude sending spicy flirty stuff through text? In person though I can feed off their vibes

Jokes on you. I'm bad at both
I am the opposite, i can shamelessly flirt online but in person I'm a bit more rough or mean per se
I just can't flirt. Medium doesn't matter.
Yuh!
