Wait, Is This A Date?

Wait, Is This A Date
is an Autostraddle podcast specialized in the one, really the only question that individuals actually ever wanna discuss. I don’t know in which i am going with this specific. It’s about matchmaking and it is about knowing whether things are dates or not, etc.
Drew:
A pal of mine asked meâ actually I got a text past that has been like, «I’m not sure if this thing I’m on is a romantic date or not.» And I also was like, «We have a podcast everything about that.» In which he was actually like, «Yeah, I’m sure. I know.» And that I was like, «You could ask.» In which he was actually like, «And risk rejection? Never Ever.» And that I moved, «Well, you will want to pay attention to the podcast much more because we do cover this extremely thing.»
Christina:
That is certainly really that which we’re looking to get to after the ding dang time.
Drew:
Yeah. I’m Drew Gregory. I am an author for Autostraddle and a filmmaker and a queer trans lady and genuinely carrying more than from last week, merely number one Paul Newman fanatic of-the-moment that’sâ You know, I love to change the one thing I am simply definitely fixating on and that is the point that Iâ Now we are on few days two.
Christina:
I favor that. I Am Christina Tucker. I am in addition an author at Autostraddle and a podcaster around the really city. City in this manner is the net. I’m in addition fairly homosexual and I want to support the hyper fixations on things.

Many thanks much.

I actually do have a-game for you. I’ve a-game for you personally that i do believe is really going to be very challenging, however it is fun.
Drew:
Great. Great, fantastic, fantastic. I adore that. I like it, Everyone loves it.
Christina:
Today’s online game is: Is this a Hayley Kiyoko lyric or perhaps is it a range from Rupi Kaur’s poetry?
Drew:
Wow. Okay.
Christina:
Plus its likely to be challenging, but we are going to have a good time. We aren’t right here for a long period, we’re right here for a good time. That is the motto.
Drew:
Wow. you are truly wading into two discourses. I mean, there is not actually some Hayley Kiyoko discussion, actually.
Christina:
Yeah. And I thought I would return back at some point to, I am not sure, 2014 as soon as we had been having Rupi Kaur discourse. I don’t know that individuals tend to be any longer, butâ
Drew:
No, that is a really good point. Yeah.
Christina:
You need to create a tale when you’re able to create a joke?
Drew:
Sure. Yeah, why don’t we do so.
Christina:
Do you want?
Drew:
Yeah.
Christina:
«the stark reality is you create my personal language so weak it forgets what vocabulary to dicuss in.» Or, «hear your voice. Have you been here? Through the trees, fill the atmosphere.»
Drew:
I think 1st one is Rupi Kaur therefore the 2nd one is Hayley Kiyoko
Christina:
And you’re correct. Gorgeous work.
Drew:
Great. Okay. This could become embarrassing because I am not going to state I became a massive Hayley Kiyoko enthusiast in 2018, but used to do see their in concert and hear the girl plenty and so I imagine you might state I became at the very least a fan.
Christina:
I’m similarly an admirer. And I also do appreciate that. Though I did, i do believe, mainly pick current record. So if you’re very acquainted that record currentlyâ
Drew:
I am not. I am not.
Christina:
Right. Because we’ve been in a Paul Newman spot. We’ven’t been in a listening to Hayley destination.
Drew:
No. We meanâ
Christina:
No, I hear you. We hear you. All right, number 2. «Shadows climb in the steps,» very first range. And you’re second-line, «Like the rainbow following the rainfall.»
Drew:
Oh, which is so very hard. You would consider rainbow can be Hayley as a result of the fundamental queer. I will opt for that.
Christina:
You’ll be inaccurate. «The rainbow following rain» is actually Rupi.
Drew:
Wow.
Christina:
Sure. Yes, undoubtedly. But yeah, I was thinking that may place you for 1.
Drew:
Yeah.
Christina:
We’ve five of those. Therefore I’m not gonna cause you to perform a huge amount of these since this is actually challenging. Wide variety five.
Drew:
No, no, no. I am having a great time.
Christina:
Not number five. Number 3. I am not sure how to depend. I’m homosexual. «its caught within my brain, what we should has been.» Number two. «We will our injuries with elegance.»
Drew:
Oh see, this seems too simple. I’m like i am obtaining tricked. It is like the initial you’re obviously Hayley and second a person is Rupi, the good news is I’m like, was We acquiring tricked? I will change my personal impulse. The Next one isâ
Christina:
You’re say the second one is Hayley?
Drew:
The next a person is Hayley. Yeah.
Christina:
Okay. You should trust your intuition, that will be a training both for speculating preciselywhat are lyrics versus poetry and dating also. That’s a training towards the listeners also.
Drew:
Wow. Okay.
Christina:
Okay. Number four. «So we come to be endless,» or «coals like the water breeze healed all your damaged pieces.»
Drew:
Oh God. Those both actually might be both, which I understand will be the point associated with video game, but it is nonethelessâ
Christina:
It’s fantastic whenever you validate that I did a beneficial job in placing this deranged game collectively.
Drew:
I believe initial you’re Hayley together with next a person is Rupi.
Christina:
You unfortunately could well be incorrect. «therefore we come to be eternal» is actually Rupi and «cold like the water piece of cake healed all of your current busted pieces» is indeed the best legend, Hayley Kiyoko.
Drew:
Wow. Okay.
Christina:
All right. Our very own final any. Will you be emotionally ready?
Drew:
I think very.
Christina:
Okay. «I’d burn off both you and you continue to cannot bring your sight off me personally,» or «I’m done with fires only to show that I’ve been cursed.»
Drew:
Wow. Okay. In my opinion 1st a person is Hayley because that feels like the woman homosexual bravado.
Christina:
You are incorrect. This 1 is Rupi Kaur.
Drew:
Exactly What?
Christina:
Yeah.
Drew:
Wow. I truly believed great about that certain.
Christina:
No, this one ended up being really unexpected and that I was really happy to just end up like, oh, there’s two flame types that I am able to assembled, but I realized which was the hardest one thus I did save your self it for last.
Drew:
What is Rupi Kaur doing? Is actually she merely composing poetry?
Christina:
I do believe she’s however writing guides. I do believe precisely what the class of your game is, anything may be a lyric and something maybe a Rupi Kaur poem.
Drew:
You might believe words tend to be poetry.
Christina:
Wow. which is actually huge to think about.
Drew:
A factor i am going to say about Hayley Kiyoko is I’m very proud of her that she don’t stop trying matchmaking «right women» and found a person that she’s today in the full on connection with who likeâ of all of the, you’re interested in directly women, what are the results from that, she at long last pulled the Tig Notaro, Stephanie Allynne. She ultimately did one in which the person wasn’t directly. They were in it for your longterm or perhaps for a decent amount period. And I’m only therefore happy on her behalf. It isn’t anything i suggest to prospects that happen to ben’t pop stars.
Christina:
Yeah. I would maybe not date ex Bachelor contestants both. Looks tough. Appears like a tough path.
Drew:
Yeah. Often there is 1 or 2 whom hop out early. What i’m saying is i have just seen two seasons, but i felt like there have been two participants in which you’re along these lines individuals as well cool with this or perhaps is only a unique sorts of hot. Is actually a gay hot versus a Bachelor hot. And they constantly got off of the first event or even the second occurrence and probably that’s the reason, but I would personally date one among them.
Christina:
Yeah. I’d date definitely. Definitely. Largely, really, merely to end up like, yeah, that is a thing i did so. How enjoyable is to state aloud?
Drew:
It’s a very good point.
Really, which was a great time.
Christina:
I’m so pleased. I think this subsequent guest and subject matter is likely to be fun in addition.
Drew:
I do believe therefore as well. Should all of our very unique guest introduce by herself?
Yashwina:
Hi, I Am Yashwina. Known to those people that love me personally or dislike me personally as Yash.
Christina:
I like the confidence of really love me or hate myself.
Yashwina:
I love to give people possibilities. I’m additionally a writer and annoyance at Autostraddle.
Christina:
Yes. We love a pain in the neck every which in which we get. We support nuisancetry.
Yashwina:
I recently think that we need to support gay wrongs as well as gay legal rights.
Drew:
Therefore’ve truly accompanied me in bringing some classic motion picture fuel and fandom to Autostraddle. And it’s truly powerful not to be alone.
Yashwina:
Everyone loves this for people.
Christina:
This really is breathtaking to see you guys have this type of a huge amount of time in your own traditional flick energy.
Drew:
Actually, In my opinion we can easily take action more. I think we could carry it ⦠I am not sure. I became watching all of these Paul Newman flicks and that I was actually like, can I get a write-up using this? And I also ended up being like, I’m not sure easily could. It will be a stretch. However I Happened To Be like, wellâ¦
Christina:
That’s your favorite type of stretching though. Definitionally, your chosen types of stretching is actually how can I get this to work?
Drew:
Absolutely. So we’ll see.
Yashwina:
The smoothness is literally known as Butch Cassidy.
Drew:
Ooh.
Christina:
Well. And claim that.
Drew:
Wow.
Christina:
Say that.
Yashwina:
I simply think lesbians should outfit like Paul Newman characters. Plenty currently carry out.
Drew:
I do concur.
Christina:
Yeah. I have to accept that certain.
Drew:
We are really not unfortuitouslyâ Really, maybe not unfortuitously. We’re here to go over something that’s connected to the matchmaking podcast, etc, et cetera. Therefore it is perhaps not regrettable, but we are here to generally share the topic of bringing in associates to pals. What will happen when our buddies dislike all of our associates as well as maybe not associates, but some body we are taking place a mixed couples dating with, some one we are setting up with, someone who we are delivering to their life against their will, and precisely what do they have to state about this.
Christina:
I like you made that seem like a hostage situation.
Drew:
Often it is like it.
Christina:
Taking this person in the existence against your might and you may deal.
Drew:
I guess 1st question that We have for all those is within that vibrant, will you be often the one bringing the person against friends’ will or even the person whoever will is⦠this is certainly obtaining perplexing. Do you actually have a tendency to date people that everyone don’t like? Do your buddies often date people that that you do not like?
Christina:
As a well-known hater, i shall state it’s that my pals date people that Really don’t like. Certainly one of my most significant anxieties in daily life usually I would date some one that my buddies failed to like. Practically nothing would worry myself
Drew:
We often imagine centered on understanding you that that worry is definitely not the only reason why you aren’t a major dater, but it is a part of the anxieties.
Christina:
Oh, undoubtedly part of it. Definitely an integral part of it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Think about you two?
Yashwina:
I have been on every section of the equation, but I will claim that typically my buddies have actually commented that my style is extremely hit or miss. A lot more miss.
Christina:
Interesting. Interesting.
Yashwina:
Yeah. I am in situations where my buddies didn’t just like the individual I happened to be dating, where in actuality the individual I was dating don’t like my pals, then where i’ve not preferred the individuals that my buddies happened to be dating often. And so I have observed every setting.
Drew:
How will you experience it? Is-it relationships or perhaps is it people you’re casually witnessing frequently?
Yashwina:
It really is definitely already been both, however it is interesting in times when I believe a whole lot from it is mostly about a hierarchy of allegiance or trust or loyalty where it is like, basically believe anyone to pull me aside and start to become similar, «Hey, this other person into your life isn’t dealing with the way we wish to view you end up being treated,» then there is types of a pecking order in which it is like, okay, this individual is the one whoever understanding of activities i need to tune in to the essential and maybe other individuals have taken with additional cereals of sodium. However, if, such and this type of arrangement, this person is actually telling me personally simply because they care about myself plus they want nutrients in my situation, that something isn’t really appropriate, then you have to be controlled by it.
Drew:
Yeah. It’s fascinating because with maybe not my recent connection, but my personal many severe connection before that, once we began dating, it actually was mostly my personal spouse informing me personally that my buddies types of sucked. As well as in some means might believe could well be like, ah, that is not good sign in case the lover’s attempting to turn you against your buddies. But it had been carried out in an easy method that has been truly caring and my greatest closest friend â adore it was not these â and so I think additionally assisted. And I was still a college student and was closeted so my buddies had been either directly or also closeted. And a lot of my pals did suck and did not⦠and never actually sucked. Because so what does that mean? But simply did not address me personally very well. And she was straight to generate those opinions. Nevertheless now, because i’m far more secure in my own friendships, if any person I found myself online dating were to say, «friends and family draw,» I would personally be like, ah, that isn’t an excellent sign. It is a red flag. Which thank goodness, I never been in a relationship where my pals and my personal lover go along significantly more than at this time hence I get in addition to my lover’s pals much more it is far better. It is a great deal better.
Christina:
Go on. Actually.
Drew:
Additionally the first two really serious relationships I experienced, it was not that my buddies did not like men and women. They enjoyed them loads. It’s simply i did not also understand at that time, because I didn’t have almost anything to contrast it to. Now I am love, oh, individuals within my existence tend to be excited to see⦠its different. It just feels different and it is great. And that’s an extremely wonderful thing.
Christina:
Yeah. It really is cool.
Drew:
But also, I am not sure. After all, I do consider folks intend to make errors. Not mistakes. Must date the folks which they can be dating {a
