Croc (formerly @microdile)

Let's say there's someone who you know of from social media, maybe you follow each other, and you're into them & their suit. (note here that some people really only post photos of themselves in suit, so we don't have to cover the 'only like them for their suit’ topic).

If they have a fairly sex-positive persona and do not seem to be in a closed relationship, do you:

@croc I would probably stay quiet in this scenario, since I don't want to bother them if they aren't interested in me.

But I think the right thing to do is to let them know. After all, how could they know if you don't tell them?

I suppose that is one reason why I am still single.

@croc Most of the time, I won't interact unless they talk to me first. Weighing my options, I'm completely fine making fewer connections if it means I can avoid the risk of rejection or investing emotional energy into something that wasn't meant to be. Plus there's no guarantee we'd even be interested in compatible things or that things would work out. I can be happy with or without, so my default assumption is that I'll be happy without, and if the stars do align then it's a fun surprise!
