And the world didn’t end! She actually seemed pleasant about it. We were swapping memes and gifs that were getting increasingly flirty, so I thought screw it, and said “Aaight I’m just gonna ask cuz my autism is showing, are we flirting? Or are we just doing friendly hornyposting? Either is fine”. And she says “a bit of both I suppose, I am a very very very flirty person lol”.

I’m pretty proud of myself. It also could have turned out poorly, but I didn’t let that stop me from doing what I wanted. We are still swapping memes as usual. Literally patted myself on the back. This is a reminder that you can’t often get what you want without changing something.
