@Ravenari Like, if the goal was just to hang out it'd have been fine, but the goal is to fall in love and be loved, which has SO many ways it can go wrong. That can still go wrong when you already know the person pretty well, but the odds are better.
@Ravenari haa see I had an initial reaction of "hey I'm an extrovert and don't like dating either" but on further thought the 'hanging out with a promising stranger" part was fine, the problem was the high odds of rejection, especially having to reject them
@formetopoupon Nah I'm Australian and it bothers me too. And anti-blackness likely works differently in Belgium but they have a horrifying history wrt slavery and colonialism that I am sure influences modern attitudes, even for writers who mean well.
Not actually planning on using it but I made a blue sky at sqbr (is this one of the sites X bans you for linking to or whatever? Hopefully you can find me despite the unreliable search)
@Ravenari Fanfic for doing whatever the hell you want but also you have just given a lot of people a very happy surprise, only more enjoyable for it's unexpectedness.
