Zac Efron is not in love with me? I’m sorry LD but... I think you’re wrong!

I wanted to tell you I guess I’ll just do it here : I went on a lovely date the other day (lovely lovely) BUT kept thinking, if they try to just as much as hold my hand, I’ll freak out. They didn’t ✨. Helped me picture the future when (one day) I’ll be willing to it.

Also made me realise that all these β€œromantic scenarios” in real life are my worst nightmares 😭

Ah movies...yeah romantic plots still confuse the life out of me. I cannot understand the clear stalking behaviour, the obsession with the someone you met eyes with across the room, the...well, the everything, really. It took me the longest time to figure out the reason this never made sense is because my brain is just wired completely differently!

But also. Just. So much stalking. Wtf is with all the creepiness??? If you tried that shit on me irl you'd be facing the police in a hurry!

Being demisexual is frankly way better than dealing with all those other things.

Also another fave - raising an eyebrow at the oh so sad character who hasn't had sex in months. MONTHS!!! As I sit there and count up the solid 8yrs I went without sex or romance or dates or anything.

I will make a note about the songs thing though. Just because I know you love cute stories about me and Cuddles. When we first got together, we lived a couple of hours apart, so in order to see her in person I had to set my shifts to cover 4 days so I could go visit for 3 days. In the evenings when I was done with work, we'd do stuff together online, and one thing we just enjoyed doing was sending each other songs.

What Cuddles didn't know was that I saved them all into a playlist to play at our first anniversary, and later our wedding (with some additions).

Also, the original cast recording of this was our first dance song. I feel like you'll appreciate it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWfOd-SAGh8
