Reading WBE gives me this unusual feeling of muted, distant grief. Like finding out a high school teacher you liked died. There's nothing quite like it

this is why I like reading WBE. Loads of self glorification, yet the story doesn't show an exceptional Don Juan. It's relatable-ness of a fleeting romance, the sine wave of expectations and sexual energy. When he abandons the date post bill, scorning his tragic philandering flaw, I fucking laughed. Rather be with the boys. It's like wrapping yourself up in your own narrative that everything feels like high stakes, and I guess I was laughing at myself.

The girl actually texting him back and him missing it was the cherry on top.
