And to Walky, saying he's so unlovable that only stupid people would is a little harsh. People do that all the time though. OK yes he doesn't always man up and adult about the ADHD and likes that giant snow pile slightly more than makes sense, but the sentence for that isn't Unlovability.

2023-01-18 06:00:47 +0000 UTCLike, He LIKES Lucy. But she's been really infatuated with him the whole time, while his feelings for her aren't nearly as strong. He might get there in time, but he's not there now. He doesn't want to break up Lucy thinking his feelings are as strong as hers makes it pretty hard to avoid hurting her if that doesn't happen. Even trying honestly communicate how he really feels will likely hurt at least a bit

2023-01-18 05:28:47 +0000 UTCWell, everyone has their own thoughts about when to think about the long term vs the short term. Personally, I think that it's fine to not worry about the long term so much. There's that age old phrase about "who would you bring with you on a shuttle if the earth was about to explode" which engages the trolley-problem loving part of the brain. But it's not actually helpful, we don't have any escape pods on hand. We do have more mundane lives with mundane problems. So a simpler but more helpful question is "you've got a spare ticket to a movie you're going to see, who do you invite?" I think that Walky would invite Lucy and Lucy would invite Walky. Actually, as I'm writing this it occured to me that that already happened back pre-time skip. At the end of the day, some sort of conversation with Lucy is necessary here though about grokking what she wants and what Walky wants and whether those two wants are compatible. There's not really that much that can be accomplished by worrying about it with unrelated peoples. I can def understand Walky's desire to kick that can a bit later down the road than "right after their second date" though.

2023-01-18 05:18:18 +0000 UTCWalky should chill. They've haven't been dating long enough for her to know him, much less love him. A best she loves the idea in her head of who he is. 'Course, if I'm right that presents an even bigger obstacle so maybe chilling is not called for.

2023-01-18 05:16:14 +0000 UTCPoor Dorothy. She's having quite the week, isn't she? (We still don't know what important thing she passed up to take Joyce to the pharmacy - that wasn't dropped into the dialogue for no reason.)
