@eruonna@lgbtqia.space if their orientation likely excludes your gender, you're *probably* right that they're just being friendly, but you might also be surprised.
I've ended up dating men and women, gay and straight, and many who didn't fit one of those neat categories—sometimes to both our surprise.
⚠️ This is not to say their orientations weren't what they said they were, or that you can "change" someone (there's no sex *that* good), but that attraction is messy and weird sometimes.
Also, you have lovely hair 😊

@alice@lgbtqia.space @eruonna@lgbtqia.space @Bel_tamtu@meemu.org people's guesses of others' sexuality is wrong all the time, too. I think when I flirt with women, especially cis women outside of sapphic specific spaces, they usually just assume I'm being friendly. Once I mentioned a girlfriend and my coworker looked at me with a lot of confusion for a sec before going "OH, you're BI!" 🙄 I don't even like men.
