Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Everyone out here acting like failure to respond on #1 is negative. Maybe they got caught up in some shit, like life? Had that happen many times and they came back apologizing.
They may have been plotting on another date but it fell through. Nothing wrong with that, we all out here doing best we can. Was going to meet a girl Saturday at noon, texted her to say I'd been on a date Friday night and was, in fact, still in bed with said date.
"Shalafi you DOG! You go boy!"
NOTE: This woman lived with her boyfriend in a very open relationship. Just illustrating what can go on behind the scenes. Plus, it was pretty funny. We hooked up a year later. :)
Give them a day and a half, ask them out. Drop it if no response. See my other comments for more details on the asking bit.
#2: I fucking hate it, but it seems protocol to simply ignore anyone you're not interested in. Guess many people can't manage a polite thank-you/blow-off reply. And some people will take any reply to mean interest, no matter how clear your disinterest.
