Do you even think of doing that? Do you just wait for someone to tell you to go see movies together? What is dating? Is everyone a rapist?
Romantic love should just die, easier that way. It’s bullshit, not a real thing, and frankly we’re better off genetically modifying ourselves to be immortal and asexual. That should do it. Probably.
Or maybe just take the longer road. Big group, clique, core friends, then anything goes from there.
Ugh. My life, right?
Also, this thing.

Respectfully and pleasantly and no-pressure-ly? Not your coworker, ideally? Not that difficult. It’s the surprisingly numerous morons who act like rejecting their advances is some sort of grievous insult because inside they are tiny angry children who make things difficult for everyone else, so, uh, don’t be a hypersensitive wanker and you’ll be fine.

Asexuality and arromanticsm are two different things, best to not mix it up!
Just ask, it’s 50/50 most times and the result in the end doesn’t really matter.

Perfect description of my classmate whose room is just across the hall in the dorm where I stay. Fortunately I see him often so I know enough of his shit to never do it myself.
And frankly, when I started out, there was really not a whole lot of shits given. I’m a loner, often minding myself and have no real recurring companion, but some of the people I helped with their homework and quizzes (my talent is that I can answer questions even my A+ classmates can’t, but otherwise I’m just B+ tier compared to them) take me to all sorts of places (read: malls), and I invite them to my house for a review party, as well as on my birthday. Typical college, really.
Basically my ex was just a recurring companion I had and it sparked, but that went away and she moved to a different city. Not like I have some deep-seated attraction—yeah sure, I like girls, but that’s just the biological male doing the work.

“Is everyone a rapist?”
Dude, if you have to ask that...
It sounds like you might have issues understanding what consent is. What enthusiastic consent is. And what boundaries are and how to respect them.
Your next graf sounds like something straight out of r/incels and it’s not a good look. Neither is the transphobic humor.

Plus it’s not like my first relationship even started out that way. We just became a thing one day. Then she moved and I’ve not heard from her since.

In retrospect this was the worst way to be facetious, but I’m not and won’t ever go as far as you think I did, though I recognize my fuck-up and request to be flogged.
Truth is, this was a bad response after (1) a break-up that stung me hard and (2) some blokes asked how I made it last. Turns out I don’t know jackshit about how this works, mostly because the whole time I was with her it felt just like any other day; we never really dated, and just confessed our feelings.
Maybe that’s it, just take it day-to-day, but I still have this nagging feeling that I have no real way to either initiate or respond in the “formal” way.

You’re overthinking it.

I’ve found resorting to the Internet to be a good way to meet people in real life. I haven’t mastered breaking the ice in real life.
I have no idea how to get from “I love your style, you look adorable” and basic conversation, to “can I get your number?” lol I have the first two down perfect.

I don’t know what’s going on here but I have a desire to change my transmission fluid. Actually all Forest’s the Soul’s fluids should probably be changed this summer.

So I went to look for “airplane LS swap” and found these.

“hey how’s it going? Crazy snowstorm we had today huh?” - insert small talk- “hey would you like to get a cup of coffee/a beer/watch some TV/whatever later?” “no? you have a boyfriend, oh cool, well it was nice talking to you maybe I’ll see you around”.
Get off the internet and learn how to small talk to strangers.

O thee fucking God. This is one of my problems. Why the hell is it so damn complicated?! And people are always fake and switch up after you pour your heart out for them and help them with so much.. .hell, it’s hard just having friends in general. Too many fake people and no one you can really trust, like this one fucker who’s been using me and my one actual friend in this godforsaken state and now because we found out he has basically a bounty on our heads. I’ll just run him over at godspeed while accelerating to 60.

Except a lot of people consider “small talk” to be obnoxious and an utter waste of time.

Darned if I know. Having been married for over a quarter of a century, I vaguely remember dating. Seems like I asked her if she wanted to take a ride on my motorcycle (actual motorcycle, not a euphemism), 5 months later we were engaged, then married a few months after that.
Nowadays, we take rides in the Mustang instead... :-D
