I've been lucky enough to have coworkers and friends correct people for me, because I don't love doing it myself. Personally, I've stopped correcting people because they usually figure it out on their own after talking to me for more than five seconds.

Whenever I was on date with guys, they always invited me to their home 😅😅. I’m quite sensitive about “home” lol. Or when I go to bar/ club, I met some guys they also invited me to their home too. although I told them I was looking for relationship (I need to be loved 🥺🥺). They told me “it is a quiet place we can chat” lmao. I always try to stay away from home when dating for a few months lol. Do you guys have the same problem? What do you normally answer to them?

Hi. Im a 28 yo girl and am very much bi-curious/questioning. I developed a slight crush on one of my friends who I had met in college and became really close with during the pandemic. She lives in NY and I live in South FL. Over the past 5 months we’ve spoken on the phone for hours almost every night and are constantly texting. We are both single and identify as straight. She has never mentioned her interest in women but I feel like she’s picked up on me being bi-curious. *CONT IN COMMENTS*
