Woman here who gets approached from time to time… casual chats are fine and low-key expressing interest is ok.

Yeah… I read yesterday they are testing flying cars to help with reducing commute times. Wow… flying cars… dreams from my childhood that sadly we didn’t make come true, but China is testing theirs.
