PRIVATE
@dougdeppert:
Okay, so I’m sorry if this is a needy or weird line of questioning, and if it is you can completely ignore it, but I guess I wanted some more feedback on why I lack romantic vibes? It’s not my top priority but I would like to be considered dateable someday so if there’s something holding me back from a smart, pretty, self-empowered woman like you considering me as an option, I’d love to know so that I can work on that. Thanks for your time either way!
Oh my gosh, not at all, Douggie! I hope you believe me when I say it’s everything to do with me and nothing to do with you! I think you’re so cute and sweet and any girl would be totally, totally lucky to have you. You’re so dateable, in my opinion! If anything, something’s holding me back rather than anything holding you back. And while I don’t wanna name any names out of respect for girl code, what was holding me back is just that I have a strong feeling a friend of mine happens to have an interest in you and I just am very firm in not getting in the way of that with any of my girlfriends.
