    Whenever I ask someone out I make sure to explicitly use the word date. I don’t know how people fuck that up so often. The bad feels of uncertainty over many hours (or days) are so much worse than the brief stress of just asking.

    The other person could have easily avoided this awkwardness. They could have just said “I like you too”. Like yeah they misread the situation. Even if they were actual dates it doesn’t automatically mean the other person has feelings for them. People often go on dates without having any preexisting feelings for the other person. And just want to go out for a good time. Even kissing and sex doesn’t always mean the other person is into you. It’s not uncommon that the other person starts developing feelings after a few dates.

    I googled StartPaged “TGing” thinking it was some new abbreviated slang I hadn’t seen yet

      I came to the comments to try and figure it out. Still haven’t, but I’m with you (I also use Startpage)

      Edit: of course, the answer was just below where I’d gotten

    I may have some questions:

    • what is tging?
    • what is the problem here, is here a problem?
    • if yes, who is responsible for it?

    I’m old, I guess.

    Edit: Thanks for the replies. I assumed you just can go to multiple dates, if you are just interested or if you want to find out more about the other person. Crushes sometimes can develop over time.

    Also I was too dumb to see tging as a typo. I was thinking it could be tinder related (I’m tindering => i’m tging or it’s tinder thing => it’s a tging… whatever, did I mention I’m dumb?)

      • “H” is next to “g” on the keyboard, so “tging” is “thing”.
      • The person is embarrassed about not understanding that they’ve been on three dates with someone (probably just seeing it as hanging out)
      • These two people obviously like each other romantically, but one has seen that fact as openly implied while the other has not

      I think they misspelled the word thing. There doesn’t seem to be a problem, both parties want the same thing, though one wasn’t aware the thing is already happening. Judging by the chat bubbles the poster is the one “behind” in their relationship. Hope that clears that up.

      That’s just a misspelling of the word “thing”

      Edited to add: I think the problem was that the person confessed to their crush after they had three dates where they also probably already confessed which I assume was extremely embarrassing for them given the post.
