I’ve dm’d you a couple of times to tell you I love your blog and you’re always super polite but I’m desperate to do more to get your attention properly. What do you like to receive that sparks your interest?

Howdy!
- I always try to be polite to strangers. No one should have to deal with my bullshit until they ask for it.
- I’m not the sharing type, so “friendly” is as far as I go with people in relationships.
- I like to receive lots of stuff, at different stages in a courtship. Pretty pictures, keepsakes, declarations of undying love, dinner… that sort of thing. Of course, most pictures aren’t pretty, many keepsakes aren’t thoughtful, some declarations aren’t heartfelt, and dinner… well, okay, it’s hard to fuck that up, but you get the point. Sparking my interest will usually require multiple attempts, multiple missteps, and more than a little quiet desperation. But all the evidence suggests that navigating the process with humility and something approximating grace can take you far. Or low, if you’re lucky.
