It absolutely sucks! You go out of your way not to say anything to somebody so they can't reject you, and then they invite you out just to go oh, hey, by the way, I have feelings for someone else and you're too weird for me to date! In case you were wondering!
[...he slumps further over onto the table.]
Sorry, I'm sorry, I just- okay, I guess I'm definitely not over that one.
[he's facedown in his folded arms, so that's muffled, but he lifts his head enough to speak properly afterwards.]
So- he asked me out for tea, and then he asked if he could confess to one of us and have it count, and I told him I didn't know but I would listen if he had anything he needed to get out, right? And he said, um-- that I'm cute, but we're not compatible long-term. Totally unprompted. So, I-- you know, like an idiot, I asked-- why.
[...he exhales a slow breath.]
And that answer was that he fell for someone else, and that my attitude toward death is too creepy for him. Which I think is more or less 'you're too weird', it's not-- I can't just shut that off. It's how I am.
Don't say that. There are hot, single immortals out there! You just haven't met them yet.
[Look. Listen. Immortality can be great if you think about having thousands of year to do everything you want.]
Well... I wasn't there to judge the conversation myself. Plus, telling someone they're not your type is common. Explaining why, though, in those words, seems a little... like overkill? I don't think you're in the wrong for feeling upset, anyway.
They definitely do not seem to exist where I come from.
[it sucks! it sucks. this is the least isolated he's been-- ever, and it's still like this.]
Also, do you go up to people and tell them they're not your type without them even saying they like you? I knew he was too normal to like me, that's exactly why I didn't.

[That is
a lot.
Hm.]
On one hand, I'm glad there's no surprise punishment in store for you. On the other hand... I'm sorry. Even if you say it helps, that sucks.

[Immediately blurting those words out, shook. Excuse her?????????]
Oh, my god. He seriously said that?! Verbatim?

That's such a terrible thing to say! And never mind I spoke to him, too, and we did the friend version of a confession. Totally unnecessary.
[Omi is so lucky to be dead, because there is murder in her eyes.]
Shit, I'm so sorry. If he thought your best fucking self is "creepy," [finger quotes] then he wasn't good enough for you. What a dick!

[so many perfectly good turns of phrase, ruined by immortality.]
...thanks, though. I kind of felt like-- I didn't know if I was overreacting, he seemed to feel like it was a totally reasonable conversation.

[Someone please save Envy. Jesus.]
Uh... I'm going with no. Why would you reject someone who hasn't even confessed to you? You have to be really full of yourself.

[it has absolutely not been for a lack of boys that he likes, okay.]
But okay, good, that's-- I was like, why even tell me this! At least it's not just me.

[Being into someone doesn't mean they are right for you? Come on, Envy.]
It's not just you at all. I'm sorry you had to sit through that.

[a slight huff. look, he is but one envy and he can only do so much about his own bad taste.]
...thanks, though. I- kind of needed to hear all of that.

[She still thinks a bigger dating pool would be nice, though? Sir.]
You're welcome. You know, I'm always a text away if you need to talk to someone.
