Yeah, you're totally right. And that's why I asked what the general steps are for improving your self-image. I am really not expecting a full grade psychological examination. Just some general rule of thumps.

You know at the very least you could answer the question before passing judgement.

Edit: why are you guys booing me? This is c/AskLemmy

Well the guy said he thought it was a little too soon to be talking about total castration, hence he recommended me some other medications first. (To which I have forgotten the names of now)

Then how do you give proper signals that you like someone?

Then how do you properly give signals of liking the other person? Do I genuinely need to be blunt and just say I like her? Do I need to just straight up ask her out on a date? Do I need to flirt? As in use pick up lines or something?

P.s. please don't tell me to just be myself.

It means (as far as my interpretation goes) getting on friendly terms (not to be confused with becoming friends) and see if they show signs of liking you back.

Also, don’t be afraid to shoot your shot, OP.

If I may respond to this and no disrespect intended when I say this: I do not agree at all with this sentiment, to just shoot your shot. With all due respect, but if you're not getting signals from her it will only serve to embarrass you.

What does that mean? (Unless you're making a joke I'm not getting.)

Well the thing is, like I said, if it were up to me I'd have no relationship and just sleep around. But I only ever seem to able to get relationships, never a fling. So I tell the women I date I don't want anything too attached.

I told her I wasn't looking for anything too attached. And she is okay with that. But as far as I'm concerned the relationship side of things is more her thing than it is mine.

Yeah that's pretty much it. But I don't mind pulling my weight in the relationship.

Well I told her I'm really hands off when it comes to relationships. And she is fine with that. I didn't tell her I actually just use relationships for sex. (FYI, the reason I do that is because I can only seem to get relationships and never a fling. But I always tell them I am looking for something loose)
