  • Anything about his general philosophy though… Decent person?

    I’m just weary these days of people quietly pushing odd agendas in innocuous ways in unrelated content, so I like to walk into a new person with a more detailed intro from someone who is already a fan. Otherwise you get things like, “This is the way to make the best brownies for a summer picnic. We’ll go through the recipe step by step and you’ll love these brownies! I love Summer, it’s a great time for picnics and also a great time to not get vaccinated and do a January 6th because what is a woman and CRT!”





  • You just risk staying in limbo if not direct/literal effigy IMO… All young males in general have the earned reputation of typically being oblivious of expressed female romantic advances (just search Reddit, you’ll see 300 posts speaking to this per day). On top of that general difficulty, you have the compounding factor of their atypical mental processing.

    So do what you think is right. Hope it works out for you both.


  • The nuerodivergent part suggests you’re going to just need to be direct.

    “I really enjoy our friendship, it’s important to me. I want to make sure we keep that friendship regardless, but I’ve also realized I might be developing more romantic feelings for you that I’d like to explore together - maybe you’ve had thoughts/feelings like that about me before? If not, that’s cool, I just feel better having said it to you so it’s out of my head :) but yeah, I like you and I’d like us to get dinner on an actual date date sometime and see how we both feel. What do you think?”

    Or there’s always Margaret Cho’s technique…





  • Too exhausted to grab images but…

    • The amount I spent on college versus the amount that they spent on college

    • their pension versus my pension

    • cost of their home versus cost of my home

    • amount of adults in their household that had to work to support a family versus amount of adults in my household that have to work to support a family

    • Their CEO pay gap versus my CEO pay gap

    • number of summers where they took a week-long family vacation versus number of summers that I took a week-long family vacation

    • cost of a family trip to Disney for them versus no fucking way I could even consider affording that shit, let alone paying an overall subscription for quicker lines and somehow also individual extra charges per ride to get on those rides in less than three hours.
