For some context (this is important) we met playing xbox together, and interestingly we played similar games. But we started dating when we decided to meet up and hang out. Now we are here. Yesterday I was talking to her, and we were discussing pets that we would like to have. She mentioned snakes and we talked for about 30 seconds when she paused and said. “You have a snake that I want.” (I own no snakes btw) So in typical me fashion, I reply. “A Solid Snake” and I chuckled a bit, but she didn’t get it. So I doubled down and said, “Snake are you alright…Snake? Snaaaaake.” She still didn’t get it and stood with a blank expression on her face. So I then had to go through a second long extesential crisis on if I should explain that I was talking about Metal Gear Solid or just say that I was being weird. So I chose the second option. TL;DR Girlfriend was being flirty, I made a reference. She didn’t get it, I doubled down and just said ‘I was being weird.’
