Anyone else feel completely out of practice with intimacy?

I’m a demisexual woman and also barely social, so, my sexual/romantic experiences are… limited 😅.

At this point it’s also been years since anything happened.

Lately, I’ve been thinking that, out of pure boredom, it would actually be nice to pursue a connection with another human being this summer and maybe finally get some!

The issue is: how do you handle the rustiness?

And I mean rustiness in every aspect, signaling interest, flirting, reading vibes, kissing AND all the things that follow after that.

I know I can pursue people that catch my eye, but I’m at the point where I’m anxious my eye won’t even get caught anymore (I mean IRL) because I’ve been unavailable for so long. 💀

Has anyone else gone through this weird phase after years of no intimacy? How did you ease yourself back into it without feeling awkward?
