Jeez,
I now have confirmed that human interaction and normal flirtation is officially out of the window.
The man simply thought you were attractive and simply broke the ice. There was nothing to read into it or do. Before hook up sites and apps destroyed these types of social interactions, these type of things happened all the time. That’s how people actually engaged.
What’s ironic, is that a serial killer from Grindr can easily lure victims to his home through a typed conversation, and some pictures through a phone, but a dude in person, says “hi, I think you’re handsome”, is considered “creepy”......
Not judging you... but unfortunately, this is a sign of our times....
It amazes me that people are fearful of human interaction... but through a phone app, they will tell me their life story, and show me INVASIVE pictures of every nook and cranny of their bodies....
But if I say “hello”, while walking down the street, careful consideration is made towards my “intent”. ???
