we queer people tend to make fun of our own flirting ‘ineptitude’ bc it doesn’t mirror what media taught us ‘real’ (read: straight) flirting looks like, but actually most of the queer people i know in happy relationships have a meet cute story that is basically the equivalent of ‘i slightly embarrassed myself in an unintentionally endearing way in front of my future partner and they still chose me’ so actually that just WORKS for us
