R I V E R I feel bad for them that Hercules is the one everyone remembers. But anyway, tell me my updated stats post visit - what are my green and red flags? Any icks? Feeling like I don't want to.

[naima bell]

Nai ok let's start with green flags: - you liked mango, and mango liked you. he normally doesn't even like men - remembers peoples' names - not super picky about food - polite to strangers - classic chivalrous moves (opening doors, walking on the street side of the sidewalk) - gives oral unprompted then don't. i think that's reasonable.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Are there people who aren't polite to strangers? Or keen to go down on you? Hard to believe, but thanks. Now hit me with the rough stuff. Maybe I won't.

[naima bell]

Nai sweet naive river. ok 🚩 time: - the ending of your relationship, sorry! - prefers console over PC i will keep affirming that decision if you want me to.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R I was bracing myself for so much worse, those are fair! Though I think you're soft balling me. If I do go I'm gonna tell her about you. Is that weird?

[naima bell]

Nai cis het white man is a given. maybe i'm too biased to suss out any others, but my friends liked you, you're not weird around queer people, i don't think you're a very patient serial killer in waiting. all good marks. like...what happened in the end?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Awww, a resounding write up. You're too kind. Maybe. Or maybe that would just hurt her, I don't know.

[naima bell]

Nai feel free to add to your dating profiles! do you have any notes for me? thatt is one you'll have to wrestle with. i think after that long together she deserves to know. it wasn't the reason you ended, after all, just a symptom of it needing to end?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Maybe I will. Hm, green flags... - Confident in your body, which is really hot. - You're a great conversationalist. - You make a great breakfast. - I always know where I stand with you, you're straight up. Yeah it was that. Okay, yeah. I think you're right. Thanks, Nai.

[naima bell]

Nai thank you thank you. i am going to laugh if i guess one of the red flags. express remorse as long as it's genuine, reiterate any lessons you've learned. but that's if you end up seeing/talking to her.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R - Sleeping with a guy who had a girlfriend. Haven't you heard of girl code? Sorry, I'll stop laying this on you. You're too easy to talk to.

[naima bell]

Nai ...river!!! 🛑 🛑 🛑 that was not my guess but fair and i feel awful about it. it's actually freaking me out with this other guy... it's important to have girl friends!

[river hawkins]

R I V E R It was just a joke!! Oh ouch. I have those, so many of them. Perk of being off limits for a decade.

[naima bell]

Nai do you want to know about it? idk how i'm feeling about him/it in general. major green flag, and being close with women in your family. i feel like i'm feeding you intel from enemy lines, hopefully my girl card isn't revoked.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R I can hardly say I don't want to hear it given everything you've listened to me yapping about. What's the deal? I'll ask my girl friends if you're oversharing.
