Ayy just about my exact experience.

Me: Do you like hiking?

Her: No, not really.

Me: Oh that's too bad. I was going to say we should go walk sometime, it's really fun.

Her: Well, uh, hiking isn't that bad....

How to pick up signs she's into you

That my friend is about as subtle as a brick. I love her.

My now wife and me were talking a day before our second date

Me: oh so yeah there is a new restaurant pretty close to me and they serve food from your country. Haven't been there yet. Want to check it out?

Her: nah save your money. I will come to your place and cook.

She did and the meal was amazing.

I'm the outdoors type, and I have fucked this up on dates SO many times.

Last gf: SECOND date I take her out to my camp in the swamp. Yes, private land in the fucking boondocks. She was so outgoing, adventurous and into me I didn't think about it! Few weeks later told me she was scared shitless.

My new wife is a total city girl from Manilla. SECOND date I met her at a local hiking park at sundown (she was late, OK?!). It's in the city, but still kinda wild.

"But what if there are bears?"

"I mean, it's possible there are black bears, but they're not coming near a human talking and making noise, and I have a pistol if it comes to scaring one off." (Yes, I said that. Figured she knew I had a pistol, her ex was a gun nut, she kept hugging and feeling me all over on our first date, couldn't hide it.)

She stood there in the last pool of streetlight, violently shaking her head side-to-side.

"Hey! It's OK! Let's go find something to do downtown!"

Later told me she was afraid I'd drag her off in the woods and murder rape her. Gods I'm dumb. She took my hand in marriage, still scared of bears. Worked out!

One girlfriend. First date included getting in my car, and ended with me taking her to my house. We played Sonic 🥰

But yeah, someone trusting you enough to get into your vehicle the first time you meet them is on one hand awesome ❤️ but on the other hand, like, dude be grateful I'm not a serial killer 😂

Why not? Most humans are reliable and it's hard to find hiking partners.

I like that your description doesn't preclude the possibility that you, and she, never returned from the hike.

I once had a girl stop me in the street and ask me for directions back to her hotel. She said she was new in town and wanted to meet some locals. I showed her on the map that it was on the same street as we were standing, just four blocks down. She laughed and said something like, "Im not sure, can you walk there with me?"

And I pointed and was like "its literally that building down there!"

And she goes "Oh... " and wandered off, then crossed the street and went into a cafe

To this day Im not sure if I missed out on getting laid or losing my kidneys.

When I was young I missed so many signals (though I dare anyone to understand the signals sent by a teen tomboy) I married the woman whose first move was a hug

After being married, then after being divorced and too broken to date then I saw every signal, but they all quietened down (or I was missing them) when I was ready to date again

Some non-signals are pretty bold though - at a recent music festival a woman wanted to kiss every man present. I'm not up for cheating so I dodged her

She wasn't out on the hunt, she was on ecstasy

If you didn't agree to it beforehand, that can be an unpleasant experience and possibly break your relationship.

We, uh, we choke people?

It doesn't and shouldn't be life threatening. It's the feeling of light-headedness that enhances everything else that also surrounds that kink. You're actually not supposed to choke your windpipe but instead squeeze the sides of the neck to slow down but not stop blood flow. If done right and for short amounts of time it shouldn't be life threatening at all. Of course with like everything else there's a lot of people who don't know/don't care about the proper way to do it and end up just chocking their windpipe and stopping their breathing, which is extremely dangerous.

My partner is super shy about it. She said she fantasizes about being taken advantage of, but obviously she would hate it irl. It's a role play thing; there's lots of, "you okay? Do you need me to stop? Etc...", and then right back into the dirty talk. It doesn't have to be an asphyxiation/ lightheaded thing either. It's a lot like getting whipped, having your hair pulled, getting bit/ scratched, etc...

I think a lot of it has to do with how women and sex are depicted in the media, and that creates fetishes growing up. Some people also like certain parts of the body. I noticed most people who like to get choked, like hands.

Are you expecting some kind of rational answer? A fetish or kink is basically defined by the sexual desire for something irrational. You can ask how that desire feels to possess or how one goes about playing out that desire in a safe consentual way... but you can't really ask why, why doesn't really come into it. It is sex, all of it is weird.
