Beesting,

No, not really. I didn't really commit to them though. They made me laugh. Some of the narrators have these voices like feather, like tickling my ear. Made me cringe. So maybe I have an adverse reaction to ASMR or something.

So who knows maybe there's a right one out there for me. Doubtful, but not impossible.

What about you? What type of sleeper are you? You roll around? Fetal position? Do you snore? Is this too intimate for a third email?

[gossamerbumblebee]

blueberry,

yeah some people don't like it. that's fair though. im more a fan of the like, nature noise ones anyway over the ones where someone's whispering in your ear haha.

I sleep like a rock. Or... like a rock that does probably move around a lot. I end up twisted in my blankets a lot. Sometimes i can be a light sleeper if i'm having weird dreams, but if its just like a normal night sleep you'd need an airhorn to wake me. but you better not wake me until im ready because i am not much of a morning person 😆

(also i might snore. idk. i cant hear myself sleep)

I don't think its too intimate. it's not like you asked me what i wear to sleep or anything like that ;)

How do you sleep? I'll turn the question right back around to you<3

Greetings gossamerbumblebee,

Hmm, well I feel like I often strike a very distinct first impression, so I'm always curious as to how I appear without the trappings of my name and my physical appearance. I am not shy in the slightest, so I like to believe my words here are exactly what I would say in real life.

That being said, I'm more intrigued by the other person. I feel like there are loads of people out there more comfortable behind a screen and therefore actually let their personalities shine. Saves me the effort of trying to coax it out of them!

Are you a fan of anonymity?

Also, do yourself a favor and do get a nice milkshake.

Yours most ardently,

milkshakerugby

hello, milkshakerugby,

You saying that makes me think you have quite an impressive name or distinct look about you and i have to say i've just grown more curious about you as the messages go on<3

Im also not really shy, so i'll admit this is probably close to how i'd be in real life too.

So i take it you appreciate when people are open and honest with you? Are you a fan of emotional vulnerability or are you just a very succinct and to the point kind of person?

I might just have to do that haha<3 hard to refuse milkshake encouraging a milkshake 😆

all the best<3

i love making crafts for others just as much as myself, if not more. i've made friends pillows and bracelets and little charm earrings and just all sorts of things.

Do you have any hobbies?

Dear Bumble,

I am very curious to see if the physical spark matches up too. But we've still got to pass the time for a few days to be able to get to that point. So we'll just have to get to know each other even better. What a shame ;)

Don't worry. I like forward. I tend to be pretty forward too. I think it can be a really attractive quality in a person. Knowing what you want and going for it.

I'm pretty spontaneous as well, some might even say impulsive just a little bit. But, I guess in my mind the difference between just spending time together and a "date" is that dates are more planned and curated. So I can definitely tell you that you'd get both sides of that.

I hope the exact same.

And in that case, I guess I should follow up with another question like what do you do in your free time? Or what do you think makes a good partner for you? Or you can feel free to answer whatever question you're feeling. Replier's choice.

-SM

[gossamerbumblebee]

Dear Mocha,

I know, how disappointing, i just get to talk to you and learn so much more about you and your intriguing personality ;)

Thats good to know<3 I'll keep it in mind, especially if we meet in person 😘

yeah that makes sense. i guess with a date we could plan a place to start and just see where it goes. and see which of our impulsive asses is the first to derail the plans haha

lately, i havent felt like i've had a ton of freetime, but usually what i like to do is hang out w friends or watch tv. sometimes i'll do little crafts while i watch tv like adding patches to clothes or bags or something or just going a little wild with a bedazzler. really any craft there is, i've tried it at least once 😅

As far as a good partner, i feel like what makes someone that is their ability to listen and be there for you, even when they're going through something of their own. And not like, taking on your troubles as well, but just acknowledging that sometimes everyone's got problems and you're not the only one struggling with thing. Also communication is v important too haha.

What about you? Same questions and also if you had to have any wild animal as a pet, what would it be?

Greetings gossamerbumblebee,

Well, hello my little buzzing friend! A wonderful question -- I suppose I am just looking for interesting people to spend time with, in whatever way that might manifest. The anonymity adds an extra level of fun.

I've connected with some wonderful people, though I've also met some dreadfully boring ones so far. I do hope that you will be the former.

And what about you? A similar thought process, perhaps?

Yours most ardently,

Hi milkshake!

I love your enthusiasm and the way you write, there’s so much personality to it!

I have to agree that I’m also looking for people to connect with in whatever way that manifests. I’ve been feeling a little lonely in my own personal life and I just felt like this would be a good way to fix that.

I hope I’ll be the former as well, I’d hate to come across boring in a letter when I especially know I am not a boring person in person.

What do you think the most fun part of the anonymity is? I feel like it makes some people nervous so I’m curious what makes it even more fun for you!

Sincerely,

dear scarfaceblueberry,

love the username, that's a lot of fun. It makes me think right off the bat that you're a little sweet and a little intimidating and I think that's pretty cool.

How are you? I'm glad we got paired together and I can't wait to get to know you <3

💕gossamerbumblebee

@scarfaceblueberry

[scarfaceblueberry]

Damn, those are some high expectations you got that beesting.

sorry. i'm bad at this and i thought you outta know right up front. trying to get the hang of it though and you seem actually a lotta sweet, which for me is a lotta intimidating. see i don't think oyu'd call me sweet if you knew me, unless i was the kinda sweet that caused a toothache.

i also realize self deprecation is not attractive. apologies.

i'll go with one of the prompts, maybe that will work better for me: i have never slept in an aquarium so its gotta be that one right? maybe it would be good for me. very soothing. like playing a meditation app. how about you? do you like fish or are you scared of fish? are the fish scared of you?

[gossamerbumblebee]

It’s okay! You don’t need to apologize, I get it. Thank you for saying that. You do seem sweet as well but i hope i didn’t make you feel like there was too much pressure.

The kind of sweet that causes a toothache usually means too much sugar all the time, it just makes you sound even more sweet in my opinion <3

It can be hard to get out of patterns of making those kinds of jokes but if you do I’ll be here to counter them and make them positive in some way. I’m not going to let a writing partner of mine end up too down in the dumps!!

I think sleeping in an aquarium would be really cool because I’ve also not done that. I think fish are pretty cool. And sea life in general. Lots of little weirdos deep under the sea, you know? It’s kind of fun.

I hope the fish don’t fear me haha but I mean I guess I could understand why they might. I wouldn’t take it personally.

Do you have trouble sleeping sometimes? Just because you mention those meditation apps. Do they help you?

Dear Spacesuitmocha,

I think that's a really good way of looking at it. I kind of like being a bit of a contradiction <3

Sounds like you keep a lot inside. Do many people get to see the sweet seeds? Are you showing off the seeds a little more than you maybe normally would because of the letters?

I agree. Sometimes it feels like things can change so fast overnight and if you miss it you're left miles behind.

I know, I think that's the worst part about all of this is I'm kind of impatient haha so as soon as i click with someone i'm just going to want to see them in person. You're kind of making me wish we were on that date too<3

I'll keep that in mind for when we meet<3 I do think the sparks you feel with someone not just emotionally but also physically can be important, especially early on when people arent always so ready to pull back all those layers and reveal their seeds. (am i taking this metaphor too far? tell me to stop lol)

A picnic sounds nice<3 I mean, maybe not this time of year but we could do an indoor picnic. Maybe make some sort of fort and sit in there like its a picnic and eat food and watch a movie. That sounds pretty nice to me<3

But I do also love an adventure.

What sort of adventure would we go on, do you think?

💕gossamerbumblebee

@spacesuitmocha

[spacesuitmocha]

Dear Gossamerbumblebee,

Contradictions can be very interesting or very frustrating. Hoping you're the first option ;)

I do keep a lot to myself. Not many people get to the seed stage. It's hard to open up like that and trust someone. I've had a few people like that since I moved here but people move in and out of the town so much its hard to keep someone here for long that you can rely on. So I'm a hoarding all my seeds at this time.

I think you can instantly know if that physical spark is there. It's honestly what I'm good at recognizing. The emotional one is a little harder to sus out and you know maybe this whole event is to make that bit easier. I've honestly brought the metaphor onto myself, I have no one else to blame. But I get what you're trying to say.

Oh yeah, this time of year is not the vibe for an outdoor picnic. I never really thought of pillow fort dates as indoor picnics, but you know, you're right. Also being in your own little picnic world indoors, away from everyone else is pretty intimate.

Well, that would require a little research. I'd look up some good locations whether that would be restaurants or nature or water features. I'd hopefully have a better understanding of what kinds of things you like to see by that time. I like to cater an adventure to everyone's interests if I'm going with a partner. I'd drive us out there so you wouldn't have to worry about a thing. It would be entirely my treat.

-MK

@gossamerbumblebee

[gossamerbumblebee]

Dear Mocha,

I like to think I’m a good sort of contradiction haha<3

That’s fair. It can be hard to open up to people, especially new ones. And I hope that we’re able to open up to each other a little bit 💕

And maybe one day we can see if that physical spark matches up too ;)

Yeah! It could be a lot of fun. I don’t want to come across at too forward or anything but I do see myself as a pretty intimate person and I do always treasure those moments with a partner.

Well that sounds very sweet and thoughtful. I like someone who is good at making a plan and catering it to a person. I’m usually a bit more on the spontaneous side when it comes to how I plan things but I do always try to keep in mind the people I’m doing those things with.

I hope we do get to keep learning more about each other.

Dear Gossamer,

What kinds of crafts do you like to do?

I have been told that my dating technique is deficient. I felt it useful to be honest at the start of this correspondence, but we'll see if it improves.

TD

@gossamerbumblebee

[gossamerbumblebee]

dear technique,

pretty much anything haha it depends on my mood. I've made earring and jewelry before, and i'll do little sewing projects like making patches to put on stuff or something. I do a lot of diy decorating too but like i promise its cute and not tacky.

I think there's always room for improvement with dating. I'd say i have some areas i need to work on myself haha so maybe we can improve together<3

And there are plenty of people with negative dating technique out there who end up in relationships and I feel like you're already doing better than a lot of them by being open and honest.

[spacesuitmocha]

Dear GossamerBumbleBee,

You can. I guess I never really thought about why. If I'm gonna be reflective, I just gravitate towards people who are a little bit of a contradiction. Something that subverts your expectations. Not that I don't like a 'what you see is what you get' kind of type. Maybe I just like soft things that can tell me what's what without having to worry about it. I think things need that balance.

I guess I could describe myself--not as an onion because I think that's overused--but maybe like a pomegranate. Takes some work to open up, but you get to see a lot of sweet seeds once you do.

Yeah, this town can feel isolating, even though there's plenty of people. Sometimes you just can't figure out your place, or you do for a while and things change and you can't keep up.

Dinner, somewhere nice but not too nice, I'll note that for a potential later. I would definitely appreciate any effort put into an outfit, especially if it was for me. Your date sounds great, almost makes me wish I was on it right now.

Well, I have to say, the real test of a first date for me is if that kiss happens and if that kiss makes you feel a certain way. Like you definitely want to see or kiss that someone again.

Your date is pretty close to mine I'd say for staying in town. Food, drinks, dancing. Wandering around. Just getting to know someone. Out of town, I like a picnic too, a little adventure somewhere to enjoy the scenery.

hi gossamerbumblebee,

it's cupid's time to shine! the myth of cupid and psyche was one of my favorites growing up, so i guess im manifesting that! weirdly, kinda similar?? i'm keeping my physical appearance a mystery and if someone should see me before the allotted time, they'll have to wander the wilderness in search of me, encountering many trials and tribulations

so don't ask for my picture just yet ;)

i also have a tendency to ramble, so don't apologize! we can ramble away together.

so if bees are nice, but not your favorite... what is your favorite animal? i like dolphins!

xoxo,

determinedcupid

@gossamerbumblebee

[gossamerbumblebee]

hi cupid!

wowow I love the lore knowledge that's super cool. That is a p great myth.

I won't ask for a picture haha, but just know I'd crush those challenges i'm pretty good at facing trials and tribulations and im pretty sure, not to brag or anything, but i've got just the sort of out of the box thinking that would be needed to best a gods challenge lol

awesome! sometimes its nice to be the talker in a relationship, but i have to admit, it's really nice to just be able to yap with someone.

Dolphins are really cool! that's not an answer you hear every day. My favorite animal... that's a really hard one haha. I like kinda weird ones like walruses and narwhals and snakes. Though i feel like people are starting to come around on snakes more and more nowadays, there's not so much constant snake hate as i feel like there used to be!

Are you looking for the psyche to your cupid or something a little more casual? Or just whatever happens happens?

They are very cute and I feel like you needed to see them with our match.

Hello!!

I've played some definitely, though I'm more of a Stardew Valley girlie in my spare time. I have seen the bees and they're adorable. honestly they were what i thought of when i found this username 😆

I'm doing alright! Thank you for asking. How are you?

That's fair. I also sort of am unsure why I signed up for this. I guess I just wanted to connect with people and see what was going on?

I think and I hope it can. If you give people a chance to open up without showing their faces, I hope it'll make communication and connection come easier. I feel like that's been the downfall of some of my past relationships is the lack of communication. On both sides, I will admit. But just like you're trying this, I'm trying to be better about communicating. I figured this would be a good way to try.

Your username is really fitting as well. Though, doesn't cupid usually make others fall in love? Or is this like Cupid's time to shine and be the one looking for love? I would probably watch that romcom actually--i feel like it's got to exist out there somewhere right?
