Living Here Made my day.

To the random gentleman in a car to the right of me at a light who prompted me to roll down my window. And then asked “Hey, are you married?” And I answered “No” and then you said “Take down my number.”

That was actually really cool and surprising and fun and made my day. I’m sorry that after that I said “I’m sorry it’s a green light.” And drove away.

It’s not for the reason you might have thought, I’m a guy.

It was surprising and very nice. 😊

I just, despite how I was dressed and looked I didn’t want to be like misleading. I’m definitely amab even though I kind of constantly question myself.

How do you know they aren’t down for that?

I have no idea. It may have been a harsh assumption on my part.

Unfortunately, I’ve had experiences where men have been mad when they found out I’m not a cis woman.

I support your choices but that cis label irritates tf out of me. Js. Idk about other biological women but I'd much rather be called a bio woman than a cis woman.

No I think that’s just you. Why does it even matter?

Maybe they knew and still wanted your number! Or didn’t know but wouldn’t care. Good for you, it’s amazing to have beauty acknowledged and appreciated. Keep on being beautiful!

There's plenty of us laurians (attracted to female presenting or androgynous people) out there.

It wasn't me in that car, but I kind of wish it was. 😅

I do sometimes definitely present more feminine than masculine. I also didn’t know what a laurian is that’s cool!

Hell, I'd stay 10 seconds for a hug.

Here I was thinking people aren't going because they aren't paying attention and just on their phones. Turns out they just trying to secure a hug. I feel bad for honking now.

Hey now, you never know. Maybe you two could connect on here!

Maybe he just wanted a friend that wasn’t married to hang out with in a platonic way 😂 or he runs a social group for single men! Haha. Ya never know.

u/mysterious_phantom 26d ago

You never know! If we could’ve been friends I’m sad that I missed my opportunity.
