*with Texas Pete

Oh nothing! I suppose I could root for the Canadian women. But I was born in the US, and I only officially became a Canadian this year. And rooting for the American women has more to do with them *not* doing anything to alienate me.

I *made out* w/a trans woman once who said “your skin is so soft - it’s like a trans girl’s dream,” which I took to mean she knew. But then a mutual friend was talking to her about passport stuff. He said “Yeah, June had trouble w/that,” & she was like “but why did June need to update her passport?”

My former dentist (he passed in 2020 and his son took over the practice) was the Maple Leafs’ team dentist for years. He had *stories.*

I’ll stick with 5 awkward social encounters, followed by a 6th awkward social encounter where I say “so we’ve never really worked out any kind of connection, but that’s super overwhelming for me, so anything we do together is going to have to follow some very specific negotiation, thank you.

🙃

So on one hand, that’s amazing.

But the prospect of *me* ever handing one of those to another person gives me chest pains, ha

Oh wow that was a thing?

That could be helpful, but the flirting party isn’t at fault in my case. It’s my brain refusing to receive good things because IT’S ALWAYS A TRAP, probably.
