Does anyone else find asking people out a lot harder when they might be, like, from a totally different world.

What if you ask someone out and they don't date where they're from!?

[(Anonymous)]

oh snap i never even thought of that before...

[(Anonymous)]

What else would they have in their worlds, a race of celibate monks? Just grow a spine and ask them out.

Not that I have any personal experience in doing that.

Arranged marriages, long boring courtship things, with chaperones and all that.

There are things. And some of them might be celibate monks!

Yeah, but if that's the case then they'll just say "oh sorry, I'm a celibate monk."

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, anon.

Um, have you like actually ever had your heart broken?

Cause you sound like you've got zero experience with how it feels when you get rejected.

Better to know and be able to heal than pine indefinitely

Open communication? Take advantage of this meme if they show up to ask about courting practices where they're from.

We don't date in my world, actually. But I'm sure if you're at least open about it it may end up alright. Sitting around and wondering instead of talking to them about it is counter productive.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a shame.

Dating is fun, just be yourself and keep it casual. You'll know if there's chemistry.

[(Anonymous)]

It may be. I wouldn't know. Most marriages are arranged to maintain status - that kind of thing.

I may give it a try if it feels right. I don't want to speak too quickly.

Marriage? Don't jump to the end when the journey is so enjoyable.

Try not to overthink it. Just take it one step at a time.

[(Anonymous)]

I wasn't saying I wanted marriage - I'm fine without someone thinking they own me in any fashion.

I'll see. Depends on the people here, mostly.

I know it's terrifying to ask people out, but even if they don't date in their world, maybe they'd be willing to try for someone who asked?
