In Anna and Robin's case, for sure, but you can be an assertive confident person without being a douchenozzle.

Fun fact, Anna is actually based on It's Walky! Mike.

A lot of first dates can be weird and boring, honestly. It's hard to find out what you have in common with someone and then spark something over just one night, which is why (imo) it makes more sense to know someone for a while before seeing if a relationship could be in the cards.

[up] Eyeh, although at least from the male side, it opens you up to accusations of being a Dogged Nice Guy who isn't actually interested in friendship, just in the relationship.

Their expressions tell me they're nervous rather than awkward.

To be frank I think she would have dumped her life for any sapphic relationship. That woman was just super keen to affirm her sapphic side after a lifetime of suppression. She didn't even know Leslie particularly well.

Yeah. We know that and I don't know. Is it weird to desire that sort of thing? Because it seems kind of red-flaggy but also I'm aro so I don't know.

I sorta see that now that you point it out, but I'm also not sure. I think the point of that arc was a sendup to Shortpacked!, where Robin latches onto her lesbian and gets into wacky shenanigans, only it's DOA and that shit would be super creepy in real life.

Robin's going to be redeemed at some point, but I don't think she and Leslie will ever get together with how boundary breaking Robin's actions were.

Also damn it, Mindy, who hurt you?

Was it Anna? I bet it was Anna.

To clarify I meant is thinking that someone abandoning everything and changing for you as the dream a red flag?

It occurs to me that this probably the closest thing to sex that these two will engage in.

Wonder if Rachel's hiding something herself going by the look on her face when she said that.
