10 Seductive Ways to Flirt with Your Gay Partner via Text
When flirting via text, the key is to be playful yet direct, to build your interest recognizable, and also to give them opportunities to do so. Flirtation is a dance, with each person pushing and pulling at diverse points.
Here are some ways to create your texts so irresistible your significant other will have no choice but to cancel all their plans to reach and be with you.

Which left us with a lot of questions in the same-sex attracted bar: what if she thinks I&#;m straight? What if she&#;s just existence friendly? How do I… kiss her?
I&#;m not saying bi girls don&#;t possess game, but I for one could do with some direction. Enter: the lesbian lothario, who might be able to counsel us wretched souls on how to be queer . I asked four womxn who mostly get with womxn for their counsel, on the basis they&#;ve been grafting a lot longer than I have.
