Have you ever been in a relationship? I love the way you write romance (it’s very subtle and melancholy at times)

it may not surprise you to learn that my romantic history ranges from ambiguous classmate situationship to ambiguous classmate situationship LOL i've tried actual dating but i've come to the conclusion that i am just not that interested in it… i wouldn't necessarily be opposed if my exact type fell out of the sky in front of me (and we somehow already knew each other because it does take me so long to warm up to people irl) but i'd really rather spend my time with my friends who i already know i like and lowkey i'm married to my work. i already have such little free time, why gamble it on something that has so many costs and so few benefits from my perspective? i'm a romantic idealistic about love/relationships in theory but not practice, i think/hope that comes through in my writing as well as i'm obsessed with a happy or at least hopeful ending lmao.

also thank you for enjoying how i write romance!! subtle and melancholy is exactly what i try for tonewise <3 i love ambiguous relationships land, i sincerely believe that is the height of shipfulness even though it might not be the conventional image of it.
