Do you wanna come up for a coffee?

Nah thanks, not in the mood for coffee

I legit did this after a date once, though in my defence she asked me in for green tea and I don't like green tea lol.

She started to wonder if I was just very friendly and gay after that.

Fortunately I clarified the issue by marrying her.

You overreacted. You are definitely a closeted gay.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 39 points 8 months ago

Sounds like a proportionate way to solve the misunderstanding.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Which issue? The tea or the gay?

The tea or men?

[–] falsem@kbin.social 16 points 8 months ago

You showed her!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

That must have been one hell of a second date.

"No thanks. Coffee keeps me up at night"

The thing I don't understand about George is how a dumb person like him get attractive dates that even ask him to their house at night.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Confidence goes a very long way. You don't have to be attractive to get dates.

A good number of his episode plots are based on things that actually happened to one of the writers, though. Jason Alexander once complained about a plot for George not being believable because nobody would do that, then the guy responded that he had done it.

Like that anecdote that Zizek always tells when the girl basically replies "good, I don't have any coffee at home"

Man... in college I was in the bedroom of a girl I had a crush on and didn't take the hint. She'd invited me over to do homework together but never touched a book and took me to her bedroom. I still didn't get the hint.
