- The format of the show made me a little bit
more comfortable talking about myself.
Like if someone says well tell me about yourself.
I just get like, I don't know,
I like beans.
I gotta sense that she was probably a huge nerd like me.
I don't know why, I could just like,
I could just like feel it.
- You are most likely to cosplay as Princess Bubblegum.
It was a little scary, but once we got
like into the rhythm of the questions,
it became more fun and we were able to riff
off each other which was really cool.
- My height it 5'9".
- Yay.
- Hey, cool.
- Once we were more comfortable it was cool to see
how our like thoughts and words kind of melded
and merged naturally.
Sex usually is like funny to me.
if it's not,
if it's not scary, and painful.
- Me too dude.
- Cool.
- Eh. - Eh.
- When we had questions about like favorite
I think like favorite characters or like
our first like crushes and I like had answers
in my head but didn't really like know how to verbalize them
and then those answers ended up being the answers
that she thought I was gonna say,
so that was really cool.
- The person or character who inspired
your sexual awakening was Robin.
Honestly, same.
- After we talked for two hours, I really,
I don't know, I felt that same connection as I did
when I like opened my eyes, I was like, oh,
this is someone that I want to hang out with.
I like want to hear all about you,
I want to hear you know, just what your perspective is
on life, I want to hear what you think of like,
I don't know, the fucking moon.
Yeah, I don't know, I just like wanted to know more.
- And we were like, we definitely want to have a date
with each other, so we like set a date
and then the day before the date Bethany texted me
she was like, oh no.
- I had to change the date a few times
'cause I just had like, I don't know,
just like work piled up.
- She was like okay, let's do the following weekend
and then that day, maybe a couple of hours beforehand,
Bethany was like, oh no, I accidentally scheduled
hang out with a friend that came from a different city.
I was like, don't worry, we can like reschedule.
And then she was like, how about two days after that?
And I was like sure.
Hello, I have some glitter on my face
and I'm ready for my date with Bethany.
- I so I got ready,
took a Lyft down to Button Mash
which was on the East Side, I got there first.
I love Button Mash right away 'cause they had just
an entire wall of pinball machines.
- So when I walked in I was a little unsure
because of how Bethany had rescheduled several times
so I wasn't sure if she actually wanted
to have the date with me anymore.
Because she like, she may have changed her mind
in the interim, but when I like saw her in person
she was like super excited so I was like, oh cool.
I came in she was already sitting there.
And she said that the tables weren't available yet
so we decided to get tokens.
- The bartender put a book on the bar
and I was so confused I was like, oh do they just like
give out books here, I don't know?
- [Heather] And the receipt was in a book.
- Yay.
- [Heather] Whoa.
- I was like, nuts, oh okay, not bad, Superman.
We were gonna play like in between waiting for our food
and stuff like that but we got so caught up
in conversation that we didn't.
Yeah, we just like talked a lot
and then afterwards we played video games.
We had this really good sake.
Oh my god, I love sake.
- Then we decided to go to the pinball machines
which I realized I'm really good at pinball
because of just like the timing of it.
And there was a point where Bethany wanted
to like do something else but because I was so good at it,
it just kept on like continuing.
So I just had to abandon the game because it was like
giving me more and more like chances
to keep on building points.
And then we used all our tokens,
and we were like oh, she's like I'm tired.
And I was like, I'm tired to.
So we were like, bye, and then I waited with her
while her Lyft was coming and then we said goodbye.
- Yeah, I was really tired that night,
so I was kind of just like, ah I'm kind of tired,
I think I gotta go home, but at the end of the night
it was like really really nice like
hanging out with her and I, yeah, I felt great about it.
- At the end of the night I think it felt more comfortable
as like being friends and like, it was definitely a place
that I was like, we tried new things together.
- Romantic relationships in general
are very hard for me and I would love to go out
with Heather again, like but, in general with me
when I really like someone and like hanging out with someone
I genuinely like to keep a very strong friendship going.
For me it's mostly about connection
and that's really like where my strongest relationships
and long lasting relationships have happened.
- It was, I think, a lot of fun, like good memories
in general, but also like, kind of solidifying,
like oh, this is definitely like more of like a friendship.
- I need to get better about like scheduling stuff
with just like people I care about
and people I meet and I need to make more time
for like fun.
I just get really scared of getting
really extremely close to people.
So I think it's just me being like, ah.
And yeah I would love for Heather to be in my life.
- The experience of being on Tell My Story,
kind of confirmed my idea about dating
which was like, I have a preference for like making friends
but not necessarily starting romantic relationships.
Some people, they like the smell of coffee
but don't like drinking it, so it's like being attracted
to someone romantically but not necessarily
wanting to have sex with them.
I was like not sure if my mind was gonna be changed
in how like similar Bethany and I were
and like our interests and passions.
And like after the aftermath it was like, oh yeah,
being friends is something I still feel
is like the top priority for new people that I meet.
