@stavvers OH HUH. I think my instinct is to go straight into “don’t put yourself down, I’m sure you have more to offer than that!” mode, and it usually turns out that under the sad boy facade, there’s another, much sadder boy who seems very surprised to be in the conversation all of a sudden.
@stavvers I should probably not still be so shocked by this point in my aroace life that I’ve been unknowingly responding to toxic flirting with like, pep talks? No wonder people seem so taken aback, I guess.
