Unscientific Data-Gathering

[leahbobet]

Okay. For a variety of reasons, mostly involving long-term relationships, I've not dated very much in the past seven years. It occurs to me I have no idea what's standard.

Of course, I am solving this via silly internet polling. :p

Life's more fun that way.

(Sorry, I know this poll is kinda heteronormative. If I could cash in for the shot that makes me like girls more, I would probably do so at this point out of sheer frustration, but it's not the dynamic I'm trying to figure out at present.)

[Poll #1101787]

Science thanks you.

Thing is, I am trying to calibrate my inner creepy-o-meter. I suspect it might be broken. :/

Try saying, "well, that's a creepy question" and not answering it. If they ask again, you were right. If they don't, and they keep talking to you, they're just poorly socialized.

Actually, on this basis? The dude I was talking to last night is entirely fucking creepy.

I like this strategy. Having plenty of clueless moments myself, it's nice to be given an opportunity to say "oh, right, I'm sorry" and move on.

I think I may actually go with this. It can't actually be confused with flirting, which is a plus.
