Anyway, there was a quiet "hey," a rapid drying of hands and a quick escape. I totally forgot about it til I started catching up on this thread. It's not like I didn't mean it, but I wasn't invested either. Mostly in the moment following my utterance I was thinking, "shit I hope she knows I know she's not a man," and "way to make public bathrooms even more socially uncomfortable for a butch." Oops! I'm sure she's fine and all, but it wasn't my proudest flirty moment.

ugh. I know. that's my big fear. that I'll force sexualised attention on someone and they will feel harassed. it's often why I don't try twice at a firt and I have a hard time pushing anything if someone doesn't get it. to me doesn't get it looks just like not interested, go away. so I slink off feeling icky about myself fairly quickly.
