So you’ve met this new cutie.
Maybe they’re a friend of a friend who you
followed on a whim. Maybe they’re a classmate you don’t have much in-person
interaction with. Maybe they’re a random mutual. But as you watch their stories
for their good taste in TikToks and scroll through 2 years of selfies, you
start to think — passively — that they’re kind of cute.
It’s not a full-blown crush by any means,
but especially right now in quarantine, you’re open to some innocent
flirtation. Hey, we all need a pastime — and validation helps.
Your double-taps on their thirst traps turn
into heart-eye emoji comments, which turn into DM slides that turn into coy
innuendo. And you’re feeling good about the fun of it all — you look forward to
their messages, but aren’t pressed if they leave you on read. Then suddenly
things take a more serious turn: They message you their phone number and ask if
you’re open to a date. They want to take this next level.
Now you feel stuck: How do you reject them
when it’s totally valid that they think you two have a thing going? Wait — did
you actually lead them on?
