Heyo, roomie, I got a bite! But there's a catch. She, also, wants to know more about you so I took down some questions from her to you so she can go into this less-than-blind date on the right foot. That's promising if you ask me! In turn, gimme some questions and I'll pass them on. Sound good? Okay, here we go! 1) "What are your biggest interests?" hard mode: I already told her about the cooking you do for me but not like your day jobs, so pick something else 2) "Are there any places off-limits for a first date?" pro tip: don't just go to a bar. far too easy to bail from, IMHO 3) "Any foods to avoid?" I didn't want to answer this one for you, since I've seen you work with a lot of stuff, but I don't know if you're allergic to anything. I probably should have asked this too, huh...
this is the least blind date i've ever seen but this is what i wanted to happen so like sure
1) other than cooking? kind of pulled the rug out from under me on this one jen. j-metal (passcode, lovebites, band maid but not in a creepy way, you know), action anime with like mecha and stuff, gacha games i guess? i had a good conversation with someone on the app about them recently even if it was mostly just me yelling about her boyfriend and his waifus. fuck, i sound like an enormous weeb. i'm trusting you to pretty this answer up.
2) i mean yeah there's probably like a whole tier of places that's appropriate for first dates? and everything not on that tier is probably a bad idea. like it shouldn't be too fancy of a restaurant but it sure as hell shouldn't be fast food. bars are skeezy and there are better places to go to get to know someone. movies also sound pretty easy to bail from. every place sounds easy to bail from if you're bad enough at dating.
3) none of the big 8 food allergens at least. that covers like what, most of food? i should be fine with anything is the point.
you really didn't have to go through all this trouble. i'll, um. i'll come up with questions of my own and let you know.
[ rubbing her forehead. hoo boy, this will take even more work. hurray! she's not even able to sit down and appreciate any of this information on a personal level because of that, so she'll have to look into it later. ]
Don't worry about it. I think I can work with this. Just call me cupid! Or at least, call me committed. I'm just going to ask her to answer the same questions in return. Seems fair, right? You can save the rest for the actual date. Call it thinking ahead.
It's not like I'm making any guarantees here. She still has to say yes. But if I didn't try to help you make a dent in all that negativity I'd be a terrible role model.
I'm going to be a star someday. That's like being a lot of people's suns.
[ so she's not saying "no", but avoiding going back to that analogy. ugh, why did she bring it up in the first place? she didn't like the dude THAT much. ]
Anyway, Alison answered back. I think you'll do fine! She's got the same idea as you for dating places, so no problems there. A wide culinary pallet. She loves the outdoors, museums, zoos. Traveling too. (She even wants to go to Japan someday. Bonus!) Oh, and she knows a thing or three about making robots. That could be a fun topic to bring up.
Give me the green light to pass on your number, and I'll let you two take it from there. Deal?
That depends. I don't think I'll be able to jump in if I hear you crashing and burning, but I may be able to run damage control so you don't end up banned from anywhere.

She still has to say yes.

Just a little thing to prep you for the encounter.

no subject
[ it might be worth questioning why she kept it around afterward. oh well. ]
Too late, you already thanked me! And, for the record, you're welcome.
