- Oh, my God,
- what?
- Diana just slid into my Twitter DMS
and asked if I wanted to like, hang.
- Oh my God,
- I know.
- What are you gonna say?
- She's super rad.
And so obviously I wanna like meet her and stuff.
But is this a friend date or is it like a date date?
and I don't even know if she's queer.
- Let me search.
(buttons clicking)
Okay. Her sexuality is not confirmed anywhere in a context
but Reddit seems to think she's a lesbian
based on some circumstantial evidence.
- Okay.
- I think the plan is,
I'm gonna go as though it's a friend hang
but if we vibe,
- I think that's a great plan.
- Oh my God.
What am I supposed to wear?
Because if it's a friend date, I can't be too done up.
Otherwise it's embarrassing.
But if it's a date date, I can't be too done down.
Otherwise, you know, I look like an idiot.
- Okay. Let's cut to a comedic montage
trying on all your costumes
so we can get our money's worth.
- Great idea.
- Editor. That's her cue.
- Come on, Tim.
Come on. Next cuts.
Tim come on
go Tim
(upbeat music)
- okay. Just remember, just be yourself.
- Okay.
- Yeah... just be myself,
women don't make me nervous at all
and trigger my deepest fears of rejection.
It's fine.
That they're so pretty.
That I feel deeply uncomfortable in their presence.
If there's the subtlest romantic context,
while also feeling like a creep,
for hoping that there's a subtle romantic context
it's gonna be okay.
- I take it back.
Don't be yourself.
- Okay.
- Have fun.
- Hello, darling.
It is I @Anna Akana
- It's so nice to finally meet you.
I'm such a big fan of your work.
- And I of you as well. It's all fun
may we have a merry companionship hang,
whether its platonic or not.
- Yeah. Do you want a drink?
- now?
Yeah, actually I would love an alcoholic beverage.
- Okay, cool.
- Oh my god. She offered me a drink.
- Oh my god. It Sounds like a date.
Wait, what are you wearing?
- I, I freaked out the last second.
And I changed.
Don't worry.
I fully regret it.
Okay. She's coming back now. Bye.
- Hey, there you go.
Hey, so I'm really glad you came over.
- Me too.
- Yeah like. I've been wanting to meet you
for a really, really long time.
You know,
I try to be as vague as possible about my sexuality because
I'm in such a male dominated field.
I like people to wonder is she gay?
Is she bi?
- Wow. Yeah.
I've definitely wondered that myself
recently in the past when I've seen you.
- Yeah.
So that's why I don't really post about my boyfriend online.
- Oh, I'm, I'm a creepy boy.
I'm Anna Akana
