>situation that makes you qualify for this thread
I'm a troubled artist defined by his childhood. I locked myself away from the world for what may as well have been a lifetime. And upon swinging open the door with eager intent to rejoin society, and make true, honest connections, I realized my ruminations were true, at least for the time being, and that I'm truly disconnected from the human experience. As of late I've been gloomy, cerebral; aching for true connection. But I'm so often lost in translation, and that's my greatest torment.

>looking for
Deep conversations and sincere connection with men or women that can relate, but preferably women

>not looking for
Gooners, ghosters, homosexuals, people with a fear or aversion to deep conversation, big friend groups

>describe yourself
White, 6' 5", 195 lbs, tired, depressed, CPTSD, working to be more conscientious and fix myself despite having nothing and no one to live for, shy at first, probably a high-functioning sperg. I'm a line cook. I like to read, write, cook, draw, go to the gym, engage with films (especially horror), play games every once in a while, and I like some anime, usually the artsy kind

Had some pretty great conversations with my co-worker today. I was flirting and making good jokes today, and she seemed to like it and even reciprocated.

Got her number and left on a good note. I had to do something after work but when I got back home (about an hour and a half later) I texted her "What's up?" Nothing but a cold "Nothing" an hour later. I was distraught but tried to salvage it with a "Sounds like fun". Nothing.

I thought things were going well, but she's so painfully disinterested over text. What the fuck do I do now?
