I’m learning a lot about myself. Two things tonight.
(1) All my ability score improvements are going into Charisma. I can totally lead a conversation now! I’m a great first date! Engaged, curious, fun, funny, sweet. Everyone has wanted to see me again.

(2) I’ve caught a feeling. All I could think about tonight was Bowling Mans. Oh no.

Bowling Mans sent me sweet late night texts quoting Shakespeare and letting me know he’s excited for tomorrow.
We are going to the aquarium and then cooking dinner together.
I have that floaty cloud feeling.
I think we need a better nickname for him.

Getting to know and appreciate Bard Mans as his own distinct bean. Deeply philosophical. Super funny but dark. Smart and quick-witted.
I think I like him like him.
After what happened with CM, I’m terrified as all heck. Saaaave meeee.

Not to jinx myself but I think Bard Mans and I are actually going to make it to Date 3? It's my turn to plan...
If I don't heck this up before Friday, I'm packing a picnic and DMing him through a 2-person #DnD module by @DnDDuet. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/264021/First-Blush

“If you feel a light caress tonight it's just me doing my best to find you in my dreams.”


































...Heck. I’m doomed.

Y'all are AMAZING picnic packers!!!! Bard Mans made me his shmancy butternut curry recipe last date, so it's my turn to impress. What to pair with gin 'n' tonic 'n' berries and, for dessert, cashew dreamcake?

I make a killer picnic. Bard Mans gushed over the chicken caprese kebabs y’all suggested. He loved the mushroom pastries (made with his fav cheese). He even liked my raw blueberry cashew cake! He was very impressed and smitten and not afraid to show it.

The true test though?
1-on-1 #DnD with a @DndDuet module was SUCH FUN!
Bard Mans thought I improvise really well as a DM and have masterful pacing.
I thought he was a thoughtful RPer equally skilled at improv.
#DungeonsAndDragons compatibility is real.

I know he reads these tweets. I don't mind him knowing...
I'm completely smitten but, for the first time, secure enough that I'm closing this thread. For now? Forever? Thanks for being on this journey with me.
Dustin, I look forward to dinner tomorrow.
