@admin @moth_ball @Moon @Nudhul it's because what guys call "clear communication" is awkward as heck and ruins relationships XX

@shmibs Yeah, I've learned that it's easier to go about things with actions rather than words. What I'd at least hope is that I'd be told that the other person doesn't want anything to do with me anymore instead of me thinking that there's still a friendship or something.If a relationship with another person doesn't become intimate in a certain time frame, I'd say both people then have nonverbally agreed to not go further unless something strange happens. But the thing is, everyone has different experiences they build those assumptions on, so there will always be some clashing ideas about what the correct thing to do is.I've been single for a while now and I think I want the next thing to come about naturally, rather than through some app.

@moth_ball mmm, "ghosting" is pretty mean scared-pants thing to do, yehjust wish guys wouldn't immediately have this "oh, we're friends now, that means sex, right?" assumption all the time always XX

@shmibs If it has worked for them before, then it's part of the way they operate. But I get what you mean, sucks to think you have a friend when they just want sex.In my past relationships the girls have been the sex-crazed ones sometimes to the point of bothering me a lot. I like sex as much as the next guy but for me it's more important to have thoughts on the same wavelength, especially in the long run. I want to talk, laugh and enjoy the whole experience with the other person. A bit over a year ago I met a girl in a university club who I had some really interesting talks with. And while it didn't go anywhere, it was nice to be reminded that compatible people are out there.

@moth_ball mmm, maybe it's just something that a certain kind of person assumes regardless of genderour "friend group" here in highschool was an even split 3 girls 3 guys, and nobody dated except with people outside it, so maybe it got kind of normalised to have friendships and not always jump to that conclusion
