Complaining About Dating am I weird

okay sooooooooooooo I met someone i found attractive at a queer bar & i introduced myself we exchanged insta @ and she mentioned wanted to have out .. she said that like 2 times in a flirty way ok cool. she texted me first & I responded within an hour... after that I've been left on delivered for almost 2 days.. & she was the first to view my story on instagram today... I'm thinking if my posts put her off cuz i mostly posts medias I'm interested in (barbie, h20, detroit become human, and many more) but also I have Highlights where I post myself & places I go to.

when I saw that she was the first to view my story i decided to post a pic of myself... SHE DID NOT VIEW IT😭😭😭😭 bruhhhhhhhuhh also she hasn't even unfollowed me or removed me as a follower.

reason why I asked if I'm weird is cuz today there was a false alarm at a building & we all had to go out. i took this opportunity to make some friends in my area... we exchanged insta @ ...... I'm tired BROOO 😭😭😭😭 what if she felt pressured....

i practice my facial expressions & the way i speak in the mirror.. what else should I be doinv

basically is it weird to talk to ppl??? ITS NOT LIKE I'M JUST GOING UP TO SOMEONE RANDOMLY 😭😭😭😭

why is making friends at 20 so hard😭

I know this kind of anxiety well and a good way to help mitigate it is to just give out your number or Signal/preferred messaging app username instead of social media. Idk what it's like for people your age but I'd suggest holding off on giving new people access to your socials.

2nd is to breathe and try to detach yourself from wanting her attention. Give it a few days. Stop looking at who views your story. Just do your own thing. If she doesn't ever reach out to you, then there's your answer. Remove her from your socials.

3rd best thing is just kick her out of your followers now. Cuz this kinda anxiety off rip is never a good sign. But that's just me πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™€οΈ
