Hello, hello, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Flulently Fix. Sorry that this one's coming a few hours late. I honestly, I already recorded it and then I was listening back and I gave myself the ick. So I just thought, let me re-record because I don't, for some reason, I was just like embarrassed. Okay. Let's get into some of your questions and queries. The first one, I'm going to kind of summarize what happened, but this girl was saying, how do I deal with a boyfriend who hates going out?

0:26.5

She's young. Her boyfriend's young. She loves to go out. But lately, he's just kind of tired or pissy or complaining about the heat.

0:34.3

Now that it's summer going out, they went out last weekend and he wouldn't sing or dance. He was just asking to go home. And they got into a little bit of a

0:41.2

tiff when they got home. She says, it feels like I'm dating an old man. Okay, Lana, Lana Del Rey.

0:47.8

Here is my tip for you. And maybe it's because I kind of resonate with your boyfriend's side of

0:53.6

things because, oh my God,

0:55.5

do I hate the heat in the summer? Do I hate when things are crowded or people are bumping into me?

1:00.9

And as I'm saying all of this out loud, is your boyfriend neurodivergent by any chance?

1:05.5

Or maybe he's got a little bit of like sensory processing issues. Some of us have that. Here's what I would do. When you guys have

1:13.4

like a night alone together or maybe the next time you go out on a date, I'd be like, hey, let's both

1:18.5

on our phone on our notes app, write down a list of 10 things that we would love to do for a night

1:25.7

out. And keep in mind, night out is a huge umbrella term. As long as

1:29.6

you're out of the house, it counts. You could be going to the park. You could go to an amusement

1:34.1

fair, an arcade, you could see a play, you could get a fancy cocktail, you could go watch sports

1:40.0

at a dive bar, etc. So each of you write down your 10 ideas of like a fun night out, and then

1:46.9

walk the other person through the 10 ideas that you like and why. And this is a great exercise not

1:53.5

only to see what your partner is into, but also to really understand their mind more. So maybe he

1:58.8

actually loves going out for cocktails, but only if it's

2:01.6

the two of you guys. Or he likes going out with friends, but it's got to be air conditioned and

2:06.4

like not too overstimulating. I mean, I know for me, I have those certain stipulations that

2:11.5

Zander has come to understand over the years. I can go to a concert if I like the band who's playing, and if I don't know the band
