This market resolves YES if I (the creator) go on at least one romantic date with another person by June 30, 2025. A date is defined as a planned social meeting between two people who are romantically (not only sexually) interested in each other. I will provide evidence of the date (such as a photo or message exchange) to verify the resolution. If I do not go on a date by this time, the market resolves NO.
Context:
I'm pansexual. I was born a woman - people see me as such most of the time. My gender expression has been consistently femme for the past 4 years.
I typically take time to develop a genuine romantic/sexual attraction to someone (~minimum of 3 months)
In the past, when a person has expressed liking towards me, it has caused me to feel an aversion towards them.
Last year, I went on more international flights (7) than dates (0.5). This is amusing to me. (2023, 0 dates; 2022, 7 dates with 4 people)
I live in North America
Many of my friends are in committed long-term relationships (80%)
Mix-gender friend group, men/women/non-binary etc.
I'm actively looking to find someone. I've started speed-dating. I have yet to make a date me doc but have drafted a date me survey. I'm not a fan of apps, but will use them if needed.
Politically, things can be weird. I'm progressive-ish, but I have some tendencies that could label me not progressive.
Hobbies include crafting, gardening, sightseeing, and learning.
I'm happy to chat about most things, light stuff and deep chats. The only thing that makes a conversation unpleasant is if a person is very obviously dissembling.
Some people claim I have autistic tendencies, I take medication for ADHD symptoms.
I trust very few people - this can take years (1.5 years and up, usually) to develop if it does. But I do care about people and can enjoy people's company. Though I realize there's a certain kind of company that I enjoy - it seems to center around people who are resolved enough not to take on other's emotional baggage yet still be open enough to receive other's views. These people also don't usually try to put their "stuff" on others. Does that make sense?
@benjaminIkuta nothing of note to report. I've got a lot of social activities coming up over the next 30 days so I may mingle.
@benjaminIkuta very fair question. I may do so if I feel compelled. I have asked people out with success in the past, but this was before the pandemic. Hope this info helps.
