  OP be like “Okay and how big (would you say) is that job applications part?”

  Like I dunno dude, how are we supposed to quantify that shit? It’s just part of the dance

    Damn, that’s without a doubt a perfect synopsis of what’s going on here. Seriously, I’m impressed.

    “What difference would the answer make?”

    If the answer is: “Yes, it’s very important.” Then I know what to improve. If the answer is something along the lines of: “The important part is the connection between the two parties.” Then I don’t know what to do, to be honest.

      Ok, then to be very clear, yes it matters a lot. I’m a slut. I’ve had an amount of casual and easy sex that it feels cringe talking about on the internet. I’m also married. I always start with flirtation and if someone doesn’t flirt back I stop. Because the alternative is to keep hitting on someone who may be uninterested, which is what creeps do. Theres a range of time that it’s ok to flirt without flirting back, but yeah if you dont initiate and you don’t reciprocate only creeps will ask you out

    Yeah for how big is it? It’s so basic I’ve never considered it might be why some people aren’t getting laid. I’m more likely to assume someone doesnt shower than that they don’t flirt
