The Dating Thread

Too complicated. Just smooch 'em both.

Something like “You’re both great, and I dont want to cause any friction, so what say we all go out for some sausage and clams? I know a great place back at my house.”.

kidding of course. dont say any of that

The one who added me on Instagram sent me a message last night and we talked for a bit. Not gonna pursue anything. Still thinking about the other girl :joy:

Got a date tonight!

Not really dating related, but I’ve found a perfect substitute for my friend (that one). This dude is a grad student who was in one of my classes.

He’s always down to hang out and discuss Econ. We ended up spending a lot of the weekend together.

That’s awesome!!! I hope it works out to be everything you wanted!

I committed to talking to one and only one girl over the weekend. She’s happy, I’m happy, so we shall see where it goes. She’s a gym rat and likes to hike so :tipping_hand_man:

I have become the epitome of my school’s stereotype @SvenG

Hah! Clearly my age is showing. You’ll have to look it up—that was all over campus during my time there.

@wanna_be we have settled on “contractual counterparts”

Had a really great time last night. The team also gets along well with him

Some reflection:

  1. It feels somewhat nice to actually have someone like me
  2. This won’t be a long term thing. Im ending the contract May 2023.
  3. It’s so time consuming… my productivity on weekends have tanked. I get why my friend (that one) was so clear about not getting into a relationship. My justification is that ERC treasurer has a girlfriend

That makes me so happy Anna!!!

There really is no better feeling than feeling truly accepted for who and what you are. Finding others like you is also really amazing!

My contractual counterparty is coming to visit me in FL

I told mum. Here’s how the conversation went:

Me: friend is coming to visit me in FL
Mum: great! Wait… male or female…
Me: …. Uhh… male…
Mum: boyfriend? Asian or white
Me: no and he’s Indian
Mum; you know it’s okay if you have one. Just stay safe
Me: don’t worry. He’ll stay in the other room and I’ll lock the door to my room.
Mum: oh, well I didn’t mean that. You know I brought your dad home a couple of times when we were in uni
Me: oh come on……

In English, I can’t tell if you mean an Indian from India or an Indian from America - Navajo, Apache, etc., because it is spelled one way. In both cases, your mother was misled :-), because if she is from India, she is still in Asia. If he is an Native American, he belongs to the Mongoloid race, and your mother must have meant an Asian in that sense.
I’m kidding, it doesn’t matter, but I just didn’t understand what you meant.
