Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    I completely agree, and when this has happened to me it’s made my day, even if I wasn’t interested. It feels nice to have people be interested in you, as long as they aren’t weird about it

      It makes your day when it happens, but how often does it happen? If it happened all the time when you go out in public, and frequently from people who are not polite or may even come off as threatening, would it still be as enjoyable?

        It's really obvious a shit ton of the dudes in this thread have spent literally zero time reading about what women deal with on a daily fucking basis

        If it was impolite or threatening, obviously I would not enjoy that. Hence the “don’t be weird” clarifier. But if it happened frequently I’d love that. I like talking to strangers generally, and I like compliments. Even if it’s just a comment about my appearance, I put a lot of effort into my appearance so it makes me happy to have it recognized
