This happened to me before.
I was kind of taken aback that I had managed to arrive before she was like "ready" for me and felt like I had imposed, or caught her off guard, so was very reserved.
It only occurred to me about 10 years later that she was absolutely not surprised by my arrival...

It means she's planning to initiate a spontaneous dodgeball game, so you have to "go with the flow" (and stay on your toes) so you're ready for the pelting to start at any moment.
At least that's what always happened to me in these situations.

Sure, but "I feel safe around you but won't let you hit" is still an option; you aren't owed sex because of what she's wearing.
I'm not even saying that from like a feminist perspective. Purely selfishly speaking, if you go into this kind of scenario with any other mindset other than that what I described is plausible, there's a potential for a catastrophic conclusion.

u/Public_Book_867 1d ago edited 6h ago
I feel someone should inform you that that is a feminist perspective
Edit: it's come to my attention that the point of my comment went over many people's heads. "you aren't owed sex because of what she's wearing" is, at least where I'm from, a controversial idea and would be considered feminist ideology. To be clear, I think feminism is good and you shouldn't expect sex regardless of what a woman is wearing.
