And maybe it's because we went on a long walk and it was just this natural sweat.

But then I've only ever had the ick one time and that was a true ick.

But in terms of all the people I've dated, it's a very small percentage.

But still, that small percentage kind of makes me worry because I hate first dates.

I always say I just want to get the first date out of the way and every other date after that will just be

much better and that's usually always the case so I was telling him how nervous I was and he was like okay how about I send you a picture and he sent me a picture another like a more updated picture and he wasn't like smiling in this picture and I don't know why my brain did this but I was like do you think you can send me another one with a smile on it and he felt a little judged by me and he was like I don't know if we're really that compatible because I don't want to be so self-conscious about how I look all the time

And then at that point I was like, oh my God, what am I doing?

So I went through like the whole, like I had to disconnect for like a couple hours to regulate myself.

And, um, and I came back with like a real apology and he accepted it, but he's like, I still need some time.

And so we took a few days.

Yeah.

Second picture because he felt like I was, um, being critical.

Yeah.

No, I didn't say he looked ugly.

I just, yeah.

No.

I think the adjective I used was, I feel like you look a little glum in this photo.

Do you mind sending me like a happier picture or something?

And he felt like I was like being a little critical.

And then he started to worry that maybe my standards are too high in terms of like, does he have to like always overthink about how he presents himself to me?
