ok zoom date number 6 was 5 hours and it was so nice -_-
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh my god. this is a long very stupid post just fyi
I felt like it was very much flirting when I said “you should take this with a grain of salt” and he immediately said “never”. it just FELT LIKE FLIRTING. it was flirting
this guy has imposter syndrome and he has a physics phd who works at (redacted) like is there no justice
he reread my short story and said this time around, now that he knows me, he “recognizes” me in the story so that seems.......WHAT. positive, slightly alarming but positive
what else did he say about it - he said again that he thought it flowed perfectly, he really liked how it flowed and developed. i asked if anything else stood out that needed change and he pointed to a few sentences that were slightly unclear!! helpful!!! he kept telling me I could throw out all of his opinions at any time but they were really good. him repeating how much he liked it was very nice :| he said it was wonderful reading it over breakfast and he hates doing anything in the morning
I kept trying to be like “its late, am I keeping you up?” because of the six hour time difference but he insisted that I get “revenge” and keep him up until 4 am his time........so I did
he was very sleepy so he was like “you talk” and that was actually very nice lol oh god help he wants to hear me talk about random things
“next time we talk-” BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A THING NOW. it was already a thing but it’s even more of a THING.
me: yeah I dont like sitting on the beach either I get sunburned so easily
him: yeah and plate armor is so uncomfortable
I SAID HE WAS GOOFY AS FUCK LMAO. I SAID IT
he wanted me to rant about something so I ranted about how guys always assume women only do brazilian jiu jitsu for self defense, that was fun. this is still part of my campaign to figure out his stance on sexism because so far anti imperialism and anti racism is a check mark. he seemed very down with my feminist rant, so that was good
I mentioned how I didn’t want to put a patch I was given by my Kyoto martial arts school onto my gi because of how blood can get on the gi and he was like UM WHAT???? WHAT?????? and kept giving me a hard time about this supposedly peaceful sport involving occasional (ACCIDENTAL) BLOOD. it was hilarious. this is where he was like “i’m glad you’re on my side”. hehe......
we talked a lot about music, music theory, and music we like and why we like it - whether it feels authentic, that was really interesting. and fun. we have so many interesting conversations :<
he talked about meeting his baby nieces and how cute they are
ugh literally kill me now
I think it would be satisfying to pin a 6′2″ man to the ground. just some thoughts I’ve been having unrelated to anything else in this post. moving along.
he complained about the workout his brother in law made him do and then said he was just trying to sound “butch” (LOL) and I told him because he was in so much pain I wouldn’t challenge him to a pushup contest. that made him LAUGH
dude is HILARIOUSLY interested in cars and was excited to hear I own a Prius which is just.. funny. I thought they were supposed to have really bad acceleration but he was impressed or something WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEN I say that in the nicest way possible
well I think that all went very well.
