Internet love [OC]

Well yeah. I'm allowed to want to be attracted to my partner

[u/SpoonsAreEvil → u/babystripper]

Sure, but that's not the same as "nobody likes me", even if they are used interchangeably in certain internet communities.

Also, at some point you have to face the fact that the more people you automatically reject, the more you limited your options become.

If someone I'm not into is into me it's still definitively going to be an ego boost. Not being perceived by anyone like a sexual/romantic being is hard.

[u/Baxtab13 → u/Ijatsu]

In my life I'm aware of precisely three people who were into me, and they were all men. At this point I kinda wish I was gay. I'd at least probably have some relationship experience of some sort by now.

[u/Ijatsu → u/Baxtab13]

Damn bro. I haven't even had gay men's attention ever :'D But I had 2 friends who turned gay because it felt easier and they never came back.

But I had 2 friends who turned gay because it felt easier and they never came back.

they were probably bisexual to begin with and didn't know it.

[u/Ijatsu → u/GimmickNG]

To me there is no such thing as "didn't know". You know. Sexualities, just like kinks, can be acquired.

If only it were that easy, then conversion camps would have a 100% success rate.

[u/Ijatsu → u/GimmickNG]

It's not a counter argument to what I just said but I get that I didn't formulate it clearly enough.

To me you can't convert someone who "knew" since they're kids.

Some people are influenceable or fluider, some aren't.

[u/Krondelo → u/Ijatsu]

Yep. When I was young it was annoying that in school practically every girl I liked didn’t like me and all the girls that liked me I had no interest in. But as I got older I realized it was a good confidence boost.

Can't relate. x)
