Nein, aber Ersatz ist auch ein englisches Wort und Freud hätte es gefallen.

It's funny how he expects her to know who those YouTubers are lol

I have heard of Boogie because of my interest in MTG, but I feel like that interviewer a lot when the kids start dropping names of YouTube celebrities I'm supposed to know

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Boogie2988 interview

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

It's not just that.

It's that a lot of (young) guys rarely get to talk about their emotions. So when they meet someone who seems to care about them, whether it be a prospective partner or a friend, they overshare. It all comes out in one big trauma/emotional dump.

Which is fair enough. It has to come out some time, but it's not particular fun, sexy or fair on the other person. Especially if it's some young girl who has no clue how to deal with the twenty problems you just listed.

Better to see a therapist, work on yourself, or talk to someone who's prepared for it. Not on a third date at the theme park. Certainly not the entire story from childhood and all the stuff that they can't easily solve anyway. Better to have fun together, maybe mention you were having a bit of a bad day, and thank them for making you feel better.

Obviously, this is advice I should have followed when I was younger. It's hard. We're all human.

Something like: "I've had a bit of a bad day, but I'm really glad to see you. Let's have fun together." or "I was having a bit of a bad day, but you really helped me take my mind off it. Thank you."

You'll feel heard. By the end of the date, they'll feel like they helped you feel better, which will also make them feel good.

ooooo aaaaaaaaa ooooooooo aaaaaaaaa
