I just like it. I (30mtf) recently met a girl (25mtf) who at first I found a bit too awkward for my regular tastes, but I saw a certain charm in her that captivated me (a certain je ne sais quoi plus she's really quite pretty) and now I think I'm actually pretty into her after seeing her a few times.

At first I was like "she's cute and seems sweet but idk if this is in serious consideration for me"; too awkward, too reserved, too dorky af for my "usual" tastes. I tend to gravitate towards someone a bit more extroverted and lively. But she has very quickly proven to be a very earnest, adventurous, passionate person with a lot of soul and wit. I detect no irony about anything she does and she's clearly self-aware about her own mega-dorkazoid tendencies. She's fully uncompromising and I'm just finding myself more and more attracted to her every time I see her. She's no longer reserved around me either; now she's just pure autistic rizz.

She's shown me more of herself as she's gotten more comfortable and I like what I see, and I'm glad I gave her a chance. I like the trajectory this has taken.

Feel free to share any stories you may have of cute shy people, or how you took a chance on someone you didn't think was your type but you ended up being into them anyway.

Like that's so not girly right?

I'm supposed to be into makeup and being superficial like the girls who bully me, but instead I like Linux.

Can I still be a girl?

I am 18 and I am 2 days on HRT and WOW everything feels completely different!

I have emotions now I no longer have male brained emotional repression without needing to go to therapy or developing a social life and connecting with people. I still sit in front of my computer all day but it just feels different!

I also swear I'm starting to see the slightest bit of fat redistribution of my face and I think maybe my voice is higher too? I thought HRT couldn't do that but I think it might be!

The wind on my skin literally feels... Different somehow, I can't describe it.

I also think I've felt more of a spiritual connection to the colour pink.

I feel like a better rounded, more complete person now! Estrogen is like a magic fairy potion!

uj/ This was me once

Okay so, I (30mtf) am now out of a long term monogamous relationship (with 31f) and I am kinda new to non-monogamous and more casual dating as a more long-term thing in and of itself. I am looking at a sort of soly poly hookups and casual dates and freely kissing consenting people on the lips thing I suppose? Idk I'll figure out the specifics of what I like as I explore but that's not the main point.

So I recently met a person (25mtf) who I have hooked up with and intend to continue to do so. This person is the first person I'm hooking up with since the breakup and already I'm like "oh detached sex isn't actually as simple as I thought" and now I'm trying to navigate a lot of feelings about this situation.

Namely the fact that I don't see this person as a viable long-term, more serious partner at all but I am literally keen as anything for more sex, while this person who is younger, less experienced, and more naive than me is quite possibly developing feelings of some kind of me and is only agreeing to a casual arrangement because it's all I've offered them.

Like, maybe she took it seriously when I said I wanted a casual no string attached primarily sexual arrangement. I have been given no concrete reason to doubt that she gets it and is on board but I'm just... Worried that if she does end up trying to get closer then I'm just going to hurt her and all because I wanted to have a reliable source of sex.

She was very enthusiastically into me when we hooked up, which, obviously we love to see but the whole vibe just felt very she's more into me than I am into her like I blew her socks off I think. Maybe it was all just post sex ecstasy but I felt just a bit of a heaviness of the heart about how she interacted with me for the hour or so after the sex. Totally 100% vibes based but it did get me to thinking about this stuff more closely nonetheless.

I really hope she actually is on the same page as me and it was all just post sex ecstacy but any advice on things to look out for, when to act, sharing similar experiences, would all be appreciated if for no other reason than I just want to be prepared. Maybe she's fine but the next girl I meet is gonna do that, idk I'm sure it'll come in handy eventually anyway.

Cheers
