You know what? Dating is a numbers game. Not being rude, being well-groomed and dressed up nicely and being considerate of people is one thing, but you’re just wasting your time if you go on dates trying to act normal. What you should be doing is going on 1000 dates with different people, put all your weird shit on display, and then pick the one who isn’t repulsed by it. If they’re repulsed by what you’re into from the start, you’re never going to be able to truly be comfortably yourself around them.
Don’t stress about being ‘too weird’. If you’re genuinely just being yourself, that’s just the limit of how much Your Particular Sort Of Weird Shit someone that’s going to be a potential life partner will just need to tolerate, or even embrace. That might sound like some dumbass toxic entitled dramaqueen shit but trust me: You’re absolutely 100% better off alone than with someone who’s uncomfortable with the way you are when you’re comfortable. And so are they. Like yeah, relationships require work and compromises and meeting someone halfway, but you shouldn’t have to compromise who you are in order to be with someone.
Your personality is there to keep the kind of people that you don’t want in your house, out of your house. Go out with seven different girls and send all of them some weird fucking meme of two humanoid ghouls eating a dead deer with some text like “this could be us but you won’t go to the carcass with me :(” and pick the one who still wants to talk with you after that. And perhaps even inquires whether there actually is a deer carcass. Does it still have all the teeth. Because if there’s actually a carcass and it still has all the teeth, she wants them. She has plans that need deer teeth.
Maybe the deer teeth are for the wedding dress.

Okay I love how this changes the whole thing into a whole new context. “The woman I like isn’t sure if I like her. I am constructing her wedding dress.” is 100% something I could see lesbians being up to.
