Get it. The Bird Show.

Abby, let me ask you if this is dating nonsense.

Okay?

So I'm on the phone with a friend of mine a couple of days ago.

She's in her late 30s and has had her eyes on a

guy at work for a really long time. She felt like she had been given them all the signs but this guy's a little

bit like Mo and I and we've confessed that we would have to be making out with a

woman before we realize that she likes us.

Like and even then while we're making out I'm like,

I wonder if she likes me.

Still questions.

Still question.

So she has given them all the subliminal like attractive like gravity things you know giving

them all the signs right the touching them on the forearm flirting with them a little bit of

the dude's clueless clueless for, finally picks up on it and asks her out, right?

So they're texting each other back and forth, and he says, why don't we go for coffee? She said that she feels like her value is a weekend date and he just

wants to have coffee with her during the week and was so put off by it that isn't sure she wants to go out with this guy again

and I said this is pure nonsense.

I've always hated this form of entitlement where women think that the very first date is supposed to be like the culmination

of this man's feelings for you and they're like if it's anything less than a

dinner date it feels cheap it feels like you don't care about me that much and I'm like

this man may not have even seen you in a romantic light until he finally got that little switchflip in his brain that said I'm in deal.
