- TBH when I went into it I didn’t take it seriously as a dating thing, I knew she was awkward and everyone was saying “you need to take her out! Can you believe she’s never been out on a real date?“
Looking back that’s why I busted through her weird asocial shell. From the get-go I was playfully going through it like “okay now I’m too old for you (she was 21) but on a real date you’re gonna want to….” or “see? now that was good. The little bounce you did right there? It’s adorable, definitely do that with the next guy”
We had a good time and she wanted to go out again, then again, and before you knew it we just kinda fell into things. I certainly didn’t think it was a viable pairing, but that’s a whole other thing.
