  10. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@vaporous_ford Hmm, it's not entirely logical, just the feeling of being trapped with someone who starts to take more than he contributes... Meeting and dating people is one thing, committing "forever" is something else.

  29. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @peachblvd @Tjdriii Yeah, effort can def substitute for expense... I'd be thrilled if he packed a picnic for an afternoon visit to a cut-your-own flower farm, or took me out on the river in his canoe, or compiled history & ghost stories about a quaint historical small town
  30. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @peachblvd @Tjdriii But if it's repeated cheap, low effort, difficult to schedule dates when he has a good job then yeah I think the guy is either not that into you / busy dating around or unwilling to invest in any relationship.
  31. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @peachblvd @Tjdriii Tbh I'm sympathetic to avoiding fancy formal first date- just need context for relaxed conversation to see if there's a spark... But if there is, would want quick follow up with higher effort second date- which could still be fancy garden teahouse rather than alcohol 🤷‍♀️
  32. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@PrinceVogel @peachblvd @Tjdriii Lol of course the ideal state is to have innate social skills and discernment.... But for the rest of us, heuristics are necessary to avoid disaster

  38. Feb 23, 2022Twitter · reply@PiquantParvenu Congrats on the diagnosis! 💕 I kinda figured...
