Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)
  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

If you’re not comfortable flirting don’t force urself to, it sounds cliche but just be your (best) self, be confident and nice and slip in a few compliments. If u get the feeling she might like you, ask her to do something 1 on 1, maybe get coffee?

This is solid advice. I think also being weirdly clear is usually better than being coy or smooth. Like “hey you’re gorgeous and I’d like to go on a date with you sometime” tends to go over well, because either you get a yes or a no and both are good clear answers. Or like “hey i like that we’ve been hanging out and I’m developing a bit of a crush on you :)” & then giving her an out to not reciprocate gracefully like offering up another compliment and then changing the topic of conversation (if she wants to go back to it she will, if she doesn’t know how she feels yet she will follow the topic change and you’ll come back to it eventually, but now she knows. I also think “hey I haven’t really dated before but I find myself wanting to date you” or any variation of just like laying your cards on the table is useful. Take it or leave it.

Definitely much better than stumbling over some pick up line. Honesty is usually endearing, and is also more respectful to the girl giving her the space so say how she feels.
