    if you're a guy you never do it until they do first. otherwise yep you guessed it straight into her group chat for a roasting

    Bingo... Whomever dm's first loses 😂

    So this really is a thing?

    if you're a guy then yeah. and so it's best to just not think about it. if she wants to talk to you then she will.

    I don't care enough about anyone in here.

    Eta: I kinda suck at talking to people

    ouch!!!
    I was thinking it was the "glitch"!
    'cause I know you love me and my purple shamrock Yvonne!

    Now this is just hurtful 😭

    Actually i do sometimes feel reluctant to write messages to other girls for the reason i already mentioned. I’m guessing it isn’t me they want to hear from.

    So now I know i can write you and you won’t be disappointed 😌

    YOU can write to me whenever you want. Just not when I'm drunk cause you know...then you'll hear the truth an such 😜

    Yeah it kinda is... I agree...

    If it comes let it come, if it stays let it stay, if it goes let it go... 🧘🏽‍♂️

    That being said, I realize some are just shy and would never dm first... So sometimes I might if I think she may be trying to get my attention...

    Guys or girls do you prefer cuddles while watching tv or hand holding or feetsies or nothing?

    Feetsies. I can't really stand having things in my hands, unless we're out in public and I wanna feel all souped up because I'm in a couple. At least, I've been single for so long that's how I imagine I would feel. 😢

    ooh, they are supposed to be somewhat toxic to cats (in my random memory)

    ...maybe your cat has a death wish - I feel a lot of cats do - or maybe just flaunting those 9 lives

    i actually like and get along with most folks for the most part. but i know im a basket case half the time and really just don't wanna drag anybody else down anymore. so it's easier to keep em at arms length

    Oh I get it. Im the same way. The more I keep people out of my actual feels, the better. Cause once I care for you, it's for life and that's hard to do with me so...anyway, y'all just internet people, right! 😢

    internet people are people too! maybe even more betterer people b/c they seek your friendship/company when if in person its harder to avoid it (their seeking)

    Ya, I speak backward Yoda speak sometimes

    Well, from a female’s perspective:

    If a guy writes me first, i can immediately deduce the following:

    - nothing

    So really, if i’ve written a guy first he is taking that as me making the first move?

    I didn't say that lol...

    What if I don’t know the rules?

    I don't expect anyone to and they're not for anyone but me...

    What if rules give me anxiety?

    Relax lol...

    What if I don’t want to play anymore and just want to take his balls and go home?

    Then you are welcome to take a piece of my heart along with my well wishes and come back any time...

    You two... ... ... 😣
    I got to learn you 2 guys some important life skills, you two always agree on this idea 🙄

    Whoever messages first WINS! Its like a race!

    #1 they beat you to it (duh, win)

    You have my congratulations 😁

    #2 if you die, or they die, you got to say what you felt

    If it was meant to be said it shall be...

    #3 you flatter her/him by it - super win!! Wait, the "appreciation" may come! (lol, kidding)

    Idk... It sounds like with all dm's friends of mine have told me they receive... I wouldn't count on this one...

    your welcome!

    And a side note @iMago - if *kitten* goes babbling to her *kitten* about you, she "ain't worth a dollar" *kitten* that *kitten* entirely

    Even meaning that women are afraid of being misinterpreted as well?

    Sure, I think nowadays with Messaging people can’t get an accurate read on how things are meant to come across. Easy to misinterpret

    I can agree with this... At one point or another anyhow, it may happen...

    I just don't feel like having to navigate through the red flags sometimes and often don't lol...

    I just be me and if people want to assume things then I'm okay with that and at peace with it...

    But I guess I'm not so worried about the assumption as much as I just don't because I'm not compelled to 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    I only get messages from new adds and that doesn't happen often so when they do they always say "thanks for the add blah blah blah" I usually reply with a " You're most welcome. Have a nice day" most of the time I never hear from them again lol so messages on here don't really bother me cause I rarely get them. There has been a time or two where the conversation kept going and then realized that person was super cool and now they are stuck with me 🤷‍♀️

    Guys/girls: how do you politely indicate you don’t want to message anymore without coming right out and saying it?
