ik ppl hate hearing this, but just be straight up. maybe break the ice by sending a meme about ur situation to make it light. and then be like, hey i like the back and forth but i would actually want to hang out and date/go out.
and then at the end you can send another funny meme to make the interaction less awkward. like a bye lol type thing

It seems like y’all addressed the issue and got through it, so unless you feel like there’s more to talk about just try to have some fun together. If it was me, I would appreciate if you were to acknowledge that it was awkward but want to move on, and maybe propose something enjoyable to do together. Fun and laughter always helps shift the energy 🙂

This is my favorite way to make friends, if you dislike small talk this is great. Just say silly little things you would say or ask your friends. Usually this keeps the conversation going for a while :)

I find that the best course of action is to just be so socially inept that it's painful to talk to you. Don't talk in the silences, make faces that don't match the expected reaction, be negative, or be doing something else on the side to really nail in that you aren't interested. It's avoidant but it does the trick.

the idea that you can only fuck up and express and be beautiful and destructive and explorative and constructive in your youth is simply a myth. you are going to continue to fuck up and you are going to continue to blossom. there's no linear path and structure on that. even people in their 50's completely change their entire lives. nothing is fixed and there is no path to follow.
your life isn't over until it's over.
this narrative that once you start to age you can no longer explore and express is an oppressive, capitalist, and intentional one. also, it's just not true.
your responsibility doesn't have to be boring or restrictive. the reason why you become more responsible is because you actually care about yourself. irresponsibility isn't the same as freedom. irresponsibility can be "fun" but also destroys you. having more responsibilities to keep yourself safe and cared for isn't the antithesis to fun and life and expression.
your feelings make sense though. in college it's easier to meet people and try new things. but ease doesn't translate to quality or longevity or intrigue. but funny enough, there are 30 year olds now that probably feel the exact same way about you as you feel about the people slightly younger than you.
there is no such thing as free years in terms of spirit.
expression and exploration is available in all forms at all ages. there are always places to go, hikes to walk, friends to laugh with, mistakes to make, good food to eat, art to create, fights to have, things to fail at, lessons to be learned, and love to be felt.
you're only 23. you're about to enter a new chapter of your life where you will fuck up and you will have stories to tell, adventure to explore, feelings to express, and people to love. and that is something that will always be true.

this is a 6 episode show thats more like a mini series. its directed by and starring phoebe waller bridge (fleabag). it's short, sweet, hilarious, and on netflix. highly recommend for wackiness and intrigue.
