even for normal people they’re not really designed with human joy in mind…but GOD it’s miserable trying to start a real thing just from cold texting

i mean look at this what the fuck am i doing. the phrase ‘pissing in the wind’ comes to mind

    I found my SO on Instagram. She seemed interesting so I sent her a message to which she replied to even though she gets a ton of messages like that. It’s just that the bar is so low that if you spend even 5 minutes writing it you’ll probably stand out quite a bit. I only contacted two women and both replied. This was like 8 years ago though so I’m not sure how much things have changed.

      Somehow I also met my girlfriend on instagram. I was running a review page at the time for extreme films and music. I made a the joke, “the higher the hair, the closer to god” on a mutual online friend’s post, and she liked the comment. I already had a thing for her, so I decided to message her. I don’t remember what I said, but she said she knew I absolutely had to be autistic within a few minute’s based on that message and the way my reviews were done. Now we’ve been together 5 years, so it panned out pretty good. Pullin goth bitches with my autism swag.

      I met one of my previous SO’s on a Facebook tag group, back when those were big. I am not quite sure why she decided to date me when I told her I was fantasizing about fellating her furry pfp because I didn’t know what she looked like. That could have gone so badly!
