i'll text a new queer friend every day for two weeks then panic that i'm Too Much.

meanwhile romantic prospects get one carefully spaced message like i'm negotiating a treaty.

is this a late bloomer thing or just my specific nonsense.

    same nonsense here and i've been out forever. not just late bloomers.

    try matching energy instead of matching anxiety. if they reply fast, you can too.

    treaty-texting is so real. i've been there.
