In the conversation
Treat attention as volunteered, not owed.
Start with language suitable for a new person. If someone declines a topic, asks to slow down, or ends the call, accept the decision without argument or retaliation.
Do not use sexual pressure, hateful content, threats, humiliation, financial manipulation, impersonation, or attempts to obtain account access. A playful tone never removes the need for consent.
- →Ask before moving into sensitive topics
- →Change course when the other person is uncomfortable
- →Never punish someone for ending the interaction
