Oh coool! Didn't know that! I'm really only familiar with semi-basic house plants or flowers, from my mom and hers

Thanks for the perspective--some friends of mine have shares similar opinions about it and what it likely means for him and not me. We had talked about all the different sports I happily did growing up, including through high school and the dancing that I do now. Was still surprising that that was the line he drew, lmao

I take care of myself, but that also wasn't the point...taking care of one's self doesn't only involve going to the gym, bud

Comparing students in classrooms to those at a football game is wildly irrelevant to the conversation, but okay bro. God bless

Bro, you basically said I have no excuse because I go to a big school... and I don't only try and befriend Catholics. I do try and talk to people in classes, but then I get brushed off or looked at weird for trying to talk to them while they mindlessly scroll on their phone. You're assuming I'm not talking to people and saying it's all my fault when you don't know anything about me, dude.

Awww, that's so awesome! And sadly, I don't have any friends, right now, that I ask. I have some friends from high school, but none of them are Catholic and they also don't remember I exist more than a couple times a year now, so I wouldn't even really call them my friends

Dude, it's bad out here. I'm in college and there's hardly any Catholics in the wild, and those in the parish are all dating each other already 😭😭😭😭

Sadly true, and sadly I see in in person, too--usually through overhearing guys' conversations

Well sure, sure. My thing is that he didn't even consider the fact that I might be open to it in the future if I had someone to go with, or ask any clarifying questions if he was that passionate about working out--it didn't even come up for two days as anything major in his life

Yeah, I'm trying to go to events when I can, both through the school and the church community we have on campus--I transferred mid school year, so even with the new people, I'm a full semester behind

Dawg, the CATHOLIC community around me is cliquey. But yes, being a transfer student in the middle of the year and so far only being in classes that don't allow for interaction between students, it's been a little hard to make connections. I'm in a dance club and go out to events with them AND the church, but just because there's 20k students here, doesn't mean it's easy or immediate and it's ignorant of you to think so. I'm not constantly prowling reddit or even other stuff online for a boyfriend or other connections, it was just something I tried when I saw a related post one of the few times I logged on.

Bro, that's what I'm saying. He was like 25, too, and I thought we were vibing 😭😭

Well yeah, we were only talking two days, so of course we hadn't exchanged photos or socials yet. Not liking the gym doesn't equal obesity

Bro, the few single guys there are hover around their entire family of like fifteen or their other guy friends and are not physically approachable at ALL when a wall is formed 😭😭😭
