Went on a coffee date with someone that went quite well, we're even making plans for a second date.

She's also been sending pictures of some of the rocks in her collection to me, which is awesome!

She has this barely-contained-chaotic-joy about her that's just awesome to see. We were talking intermittently for a few weeks before I got a glimpse of that joy, then we were talking quite a bit more. And then we went to get coffee which turned into lunch as well.

NGL last week was pretty great. Only the second successful date in the last 4 years for me, but I'll take any win I can.

Edit: Nevermind.

I mean she wants to be friends which is cool as she's an awesome person so having her among my very short list of friends (which has only shrunk over the years) would be great but she's not interested in me in a romantic kind of way which is a bummer. Guess it's back to the Gauntlet.

Just remember that lovely people have lovely friends!

Having her as a friend will be great that's for sure (we're planning to go rock climbing next weekend which will be awesome!)

The main bummer is having to go back to the Gauntlet to see if I can find a romantic partner.

That shit sucks so goddamned much.

I definitely understand! Part of what I meant was that she may have other friends which may make the search a little less difficult!

NGL I didn't even think of that lol

I was thinking that getting to know her better might give me the chance to grow my friend group bigger by getting to know some of her friends lol
