I'm awkward as applesauce too lol. What do you message?

I'd try that.

But I'm like you, KRX, in the "refuse to show my face" aspect. Only unlike you, I don't have the desire to even tease with masks.

Generally I just say hi. Ask them about something interesting I read on their profile.

Oh, I show my face on Tinder. I even posted a YouTube video with my face in it on Wednesay. I'd put it here, but it's political, so.

I just don't like prospects of putting my face online to any degree. Which kills my dating pool options sadly.

I've gotten a lot more lax about it.

Online dating never seem to work for me. I always guess is that most people probably find me ugly looking. As far I know that no girl ever had any type of crush on me, otherwise they would have ask me out in the past.

I admit that my self esteem is not that great. I'm always shy around other people and fear that they will judge me the wrong away. I remember I would try to talk to people casually and they would get angry at me for no reason.

Yeah, it's always rough trying to remember how "normies" think and respond to things. Applies to both neuro-typical folks and non-geeks. Just remember the mantra, they're not out to get you.

My ex's family is still convinced I'm an atheist because of stuff like that, which I find hilarious. Wrong, but hilarious.

My ex boyfriend thought we were back together for a while. I need help! He's nice but I don't want to be in another long distance relationship again

Just say no to him politely?
