How do you manage subtle flirting?
I’m an asexual student at a very small university (~50 students who regularly attend classes), and I’ve noticed that people sometimes misread my kindness as romantic interest.
It’s not direct asking out — it’s more subtle flirting, and it makes me uncomfortable. I’d like to set boundaries early, before it escalates, but I’m not sure how to do that without being rude or escalating things.
Has anyone else dealt with subtle flirting as an asexual? How do you manage it in a way that feels safe and respectful for you?
