Happy Valentine's Geek Squad 😘💕
I know, I know... I'm a week late! But ya know how these schedules go! 😅 That being the case, since the holiday has past I can only wish that yours was a good one and that it was filled with warm vibes and good memories. And hey, even if it was just another day of the week for you, completely uneventful in any sorta way, that's okay too! So no need to feel left out or anything like that!
With this month's episode, I will be going into the theme of love (and even get a bit vulnerable too), but I'm also going to be threading in some non-lovey dovey stuff too, ya know, just in cast it's not your thing or perhaps you're just not in the mood for it! 😉

Not gonna lie, but your story time hit a nerve, a very raw one as it has JUST happened to me. The mental vision of someone & the actual reality of someone can be two completely things but the heart doesn't realise that. It doesn't know the difference & when things flitter away, it fucking hurts esp when they're so nice. The army of red flags were flying sky high but I ignored them all because I thought I'd give myself a chance to just go for it and feel something nice. You'd think at my age I'd know better. Now I remember why I close myself off. It's so not worth it 🥺🥺

I’m glad you’ve become the person you are today, and I understand that that whole situation helped shape you into who you are, but it’s still a painful thing that happened to you. I know I’ve got a few people like that in my past, who I wish hadn’t hurt me the way they did, romantically or otherwise, but who I also know gave me experiences (good or bad) that have shaped who I am today. It’s a strange feeling to sit with, wishing you’d never met them and gone through that, but knowing that you’d be a totally different person without that experience. So, I’m sending you SO much love and a big ol’ hug to go along with it 🫂 thank you for trusting us enough to share that, and I hope that sharing it the way you did helped you feel better about it and, if need be, even process it a bit. And for what it’s worth, what you wrote about it was absolutely beautiful (though heartbreaking 😭) and incredibly well-read on your part 💕 As for the listener mail, I wanted to thank you for humouring me and answering my questions (though I’m sorry if it was a bit much! Truth be told, sometimes I’ll think of extra questions if the podcast Q&A mailbox seems a little empty, and I only saw one or two other questions when I wrote my Valentine’s questions 😅 so sorry if that made you feel rushed! 🙏🏻). I especially wanna thank you for answering the question regarding sexual attraction— it really means a lot to me, which I’m sure you can tell based on the context I gave for why I asked. Hearing how it is for others is really helpful in trying to figure out what the deal with me is, though you’re right in that it varies from person to person, so I should definitely be keeping that in mind as I do some reflection! As for the first date question, honestly, I was curious because some YouTubers I grew up watching (Dan and Phil, if you’re familiar?) did a short-lived podcast a few years back, and on one of the episodes they talked about how going out for dinner is kind of a perfect first date to get a good impression of the person. They talked about all sorts of reasons— seeing if your tastes in food align, how your date treats service staff, and even how they act regarding your order, since they started the whole discussion because one of them was saying that while having dinner with someone once, the other person changed his order to something they wanted him to try! And then there’s the fact that you’ve got lots of space for conversation to get to know each other. So I was just really curious as to what you thought! I also really appreciate your thoughts on romance— I certainly agree that trust is probably the biggest factor. For me, I think that extends to being able to trust them enough to just be myself openly, without worrying about them judging me, probably because I worry about that so much since I’m autistic and mask (or try to act non-autistic) so much, especially when it comes things like tone of voice and facial expressions— those don’t come naturally to me, I have a naturally flat affect, but I don’t want people to think I don’t like them, so it’s like I have to exaggerate those things while socializing 😅 so being able to just let go of the mask completely around someone is a massive deal for me. To be fair, I do that with my friends too, even though I trust them, largely out of habit and because I don’t want them to think I’m being disingenuous or that I don’t care about what they’re saying 😭 so idk how easily I’ll do that with a partner, but I hope to get to that point, with the right person! I’ll probably leave it there to avoid writing too much, though a fun fact for you since handedness was brought up— both my parents are right handed, but somehow my sister and I ended up bring left handed! I couldn’t tell ya how that happened 😆 As always, that was an absolutely lovely episode of the podcast! Though tbh I haven’t listened to the whole thing just yet— I have yet to watch About Time, and haven’t read All Fours, so I’m thinking I’ll return when I get the chance to indulge in those first! 😇
