Finally around summer this year I became confident enough to actually try and talk to girls. Mostly those I meet through an activity or at a party (where theoretically my odds are better?) but I noticed they never really work out. If I meet them at a party the moment I show romantic interest (usually day after I DM/text them asking if they wanna hang out again) and get left on read. If I ask someone something as if I want to be friends then I get much more responses but at this point I’m not really looking to be friends with them (if they leave me on read I usually cut them out completely right away). Any tips? I feel like I’ve come so far just getting to the point where I’m shooting my shot so I can’t even say I’m sad with my situation now but ideally it’d be nice to start getting results. I’m open to anything honestly, casual or serious, but I’m not sure how to do either.
