We're talking about dating again. I feel like we've done dating episodes before that you've been on. Yeah. It's always a fun time to talk about it. No drama at all. Nope. It's super easy. So chill. Yeah. I noticed in our comments, everybody says that dating is like just easy for them.

Chapter 5: Is my neighbor interested in me or just being friendly?
Psyche, gotcha guys.
Gotcha, we fooled you.
Should we just start? We can start and I would like to let the people know today I will be fidgeting with this little string that I found on my bracelet. Okay, for those listening, he's got a string. It's a very small string.
I have this beaded bracelet, which I'm gonna do everything in my power not to go like this the whole time, okay?
And now we can begin, okay? And now we start. Okay. Our first story. It comes from Am I Overreacting? This was posted in January of this year. Am I overreacting? He keeps hinting at an unusual kink two weeks in. I just started talking to this guy a few weeks ago, and he seems really amazing so far.
He's attractive, gives well thought out responses when we're texting, compliments me often, and has generally been great to chat with. Today, in a very innocuous way, while we were talking about how our separate New Year's Eve plans had gone, he brought up the show Fear Factor, specifically when people are made to interact with bugs.
He asked if I was afraid of bugs, and I replied that I'm generally not too scared of them. Then he asked if I would hypothetically participate in a challenge where I was asked to squish a bug with my bare hands. I replied that I think it's mean to just kill bugs for no reason. Oh, no.

Chapter 6: What happens when I buy my girlfriend vanilla shampoo?
I said that I wouldn't necessarily be afraid to do it, but that I wouldn't particularly want to either or enjoy doing so. Then he asked if we were in a relationship if I'd squish a big bug. The bigger, the better. Yeah, how big is that bug?
At this point, I was weirded out and asked him if it was a sexual thing, and he said it wasn't, that it was just attractive to see a woman being brave enough to do something like that. I felt tentatively okay with that explanation and steered the conversation away from that after this. So, anyway, so the weather... No, let's get back to the big bug, actually. Yeah, no, the weather's great.
Bugs, though. Big fat-ass bug.
Big fat-ass bug. You gonna splat it or what?
Thorax.

Chapter 7: Why did my girlfriend leave me over a cheese wheel?
The thing is, he's already brought it up again. He brought up that his friend dared him to squish a bug with his hands once. And when I didn't really give that a response, he followed up with, do you want to hear about the dare? So now I'm weirded out. Even though he assured me it wasn't a sexual thing, I can't help but feel like he brought it up way too many times for it not to be.
I really don't want to look it up, though. Is this something you'd look past? I don't want to kink shame or anything, but I really have a problem with the idea of crushing bugs. I love animals and hate the idea of squishing bugs for no reason, even if they're dead.
I feel like even if I shut it down completely and we started a relationship, I'd always have it in the back of my mind and look at him a little differently. What if we saw a bug and I wanted to pick it up because it's cute? I'd be worried about what he was thinking. Am I being too sensitive? Is this something worth bringing it off for?
What if I see a bug? What if I see a bug?
And I pick it up.

Chapter 8: How does a cheese investment lead to relationship issues?
I guess I can date him. I just hope I never come across a bug ever again. Okay.
There is a kink for everything, isn't there? There really is.
I think I've looked this up before. Because remember when Endgame was coming out and everyone was like, oh, Ant-Man should just crawl up Thanos' booty hole. And then I was like, why does everybody want ants in people's booty holes? And I was like, is that a sexual thing? And there's a sexual thing about bugs crawling into your holes. But this is someone just crushing a bug. Yeah, killing the bug.
Yeah, with the bare hands, crushing it with their bare hands.
How do you acquire that kink? What did you see when you were three years old? I know.
Maybe it's evolutionary.
Crush bug. Kill bug. Hot lady, kill bug.
Hot lady, kill bug. Big lady, big bug. Big bug, bigger lady. Big lady, big bug.
This is two weeks in. Yeah. He's dropping hints. That's intense. Mr. Man needs her to squash a bug. Two weeks in, I'm thinking, where does this escalate to? Yeah. Because if it's like a year and I'm like, okay, you've been holding on to this. I mean, Fear Factor was a perfect end for him. He's like, hell yeah. I get to see so many fucking bugs right now. Yeah.
