I think you are meant to feel confused. This isn't a thing that we have grown up learning how to handle. We go through life feeling we are in control of our own lives, or at least for the most part. This is going to be a learning experiment in more ways than one. Not only are we all going to need to learn how to raise children, - which is something that is beyond our realm of experience for nearly all of us - but we also need to learn how to deal with the fact we do not get to pick our own mate.
Now, this can make or break a person. It is no easy feat to change the way you see the world, or the way you react to having your choices made for you. I think that if we can put aside what we were taught from birth, we can build a new world. Or we can hold on to the outdated way of things and die out as a species.
I had a point in all that, but I think it got lost. Basically, you will be fine, I know it. Who knows? You might even find love. And of course I would have a word with him! What is the use of me if I can't even do that?
Ruby does like me. Which is good to know. We are lucky in that. I also have a good feeling about us. I think we'll be good together. You and Zeke need to come to the party we're hosting next weekend. I want to see the two of you together, and it will be good for you to see each other in a fun situation that doesn't have the awkwardness of a one-on-one date.
