This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It wasn’t “Do not, under any circumstances, speak to a woman” it was, “if you shoot your shot and she’s not interested, move on and don’t make it weird. If she is at work, be very careful as customer service does not equal flirting.”

Yes. I'm amazed so many people are missing this. I've dated a lot of women. And when I've asked someone out and it didn't work out, ya shrug, laugh it off and move on. It's not THAT personal. I've turned down others too. It's the same thing. Some people click with you, some done. Lemmy users seem to take a rejection way too personally.
