Awkward network question, but does anybody want a date, or, a series of dates, or as one of those things where we hastily let everyone know we're friends, not dating, if you're really uncomfortable with the whole issue of "looking gay"? ...Actually come to think of it, I'm not all that thrilled to take out any bigoted assholes so let's scratch the last part.
See, I've gotten a couple gigs reviewing, and it's all a little too suspicious if I'm sitting there alone. I mean, I COULD just be the kind of loser who heads to restaurants alone, but it also means I'm limited in what I order, or I just look sad and pathetic.
While I AM actually sad and pathetic, I really hate for complete strangers to notice that without even taking time to confirm their suspicions. I'm really, really okay with being a disappointment, but it's the kind of disappointment I usually like to string somebody along into finding out, really gradually. Sometimes I'm even allowed to stick around as the depressing asshole friend who gets pity invites to shit.
I'd sort of like to keep it on those terms if any of you are okay with that.
