I’m your age and I’ve done it several times, including with my husband.

The caveat is that you start with coffee or a drink (my husband and I arranged to play mtg and have a beer), then the conversation is so nice that you order food or move from a cafe to a restaurant.

Now that I think about it, all the good relationships I’ve been in that weren’t with friends of mine involved dinner tacked onto the first date. When I’ve dated friends, it’s a very different progression, but doesn’t really involve restaurant dates at the beginning.

I also definitely would not eat there. I don’t know why it’s assumed that you would eat dinner there after being stood up. I’d be sad and I’d want to be alone, at absolute most I’d get takeout, but there’s probably a greasier takeout that I want, but have been restraining myself from. I’d very much prefer tacos/falafel to a date restaurant meal if I’ve just been stood up.

That warm blue does look cozy, in that it looks like the color that your dad’s old too-short shorts were in the 70s.

I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but what’s an example of a warm blue? I can’t imagine it.

Sometimes it’s just luck. I smoke weed and refuse to sleep normally and I still get carded for energy drinks (16+) at 33

No kids though… I don’t know how anyone can look young with kids.

You have to cherry pick to post a meme like this

It’s the only one* I talk about in public.

There’s also an erotic squid/castle fic that’s absolutely hilarious

I just read the fanfic. Though I absolutely don’t talk about it in public because the stuff I like is basically all pornographic. I definitely know all the trivia, but I don’t support jk Rowling financially (anymore, I did purchase the original series as it came out, but I haven’t otherwise paid for anything Harry Potter).

I just like the world and the fanfic possibilities of Draco Malfoy.

To be fair, there’s a shocking number of made up words… that’s part of the fun?

Do you think all people are exactly the same level of social or just dislike that it’s considered a binary?

Depends on how wrong it is. I’m unable to digest pork and will say something if there’s bacon on my food. I don’t like sun dried tomatoes and will happily pick them off.

If you don’t think to bring something with you, you have to go back and get it (for example)

I appreciate the inclusion, but I would probably be considered phobic, if it came up enough to impact my life more. I rejected a window cubicle because the view was stressful and I avoid glass elevators, but that’s really it. Planes are totally fine, though I try not to dwell on actually being very high in the air.

Are you allowed to not use the title? Like, could a newspaper call him starmeyboy?

Incredible username

I’m so afraid of heights that my palms are sweating reading that, but that’s an objectively cool hobby

They can even talk back!
