I’m pretty sure my son would have been into this

I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.

By "fish people" do you mean like Deep Ones?

Hang on, are special interests a mating display behavior???

Coela can ths ?

honestly, neurodiverse people shouldn't date neurotypicals.

neurotypicals are too weird.

I’d spend 30 min back arguing on the correct pronouncing of qualiacontiks

Too specific. Needed at least a quick refresher on all ocean life first. Gotta let them get warmed up before you hit them with the good stuff.

If that was me, i'd text her right after the date asking to subscribe to fish facts.

Once you hit'em with the "coelacanth is closer related to us than gold fish" gambit, which leads to the "what is fish" manoeuvre, and finish them with a "whales are fish and birds are reptiles" pincer attack, they're as good as gone.

Wait.

Their loss. Nothing sexier than someone being passionate about their interests. I’ll listen to someone tell me about their collection of severed heads if they’ve got passion for it

Me: Rambling about some esoteric topic that has no practical application to any part of my life.

My Wife: Listening intently even though she has no clue what I'm talking about.

I usually realize how long I've been going on when she starts smiling because she "thinks it's cute."

I don't often feel like I've won the jackpot, but I sure did with this lady.

Next time tip the scales in your favor with a more positive approach. Little less coelaCAN'Th, little more coelacCANth.

So she's knowledgeable and passionate about something and can hold a conversation instead of making the other person do all the work?

And he ghosted her???

I would love to meet someone who had so much enthusiasm for a topic that they want to teach me about it. I may not always understand, but I would listen to her all night long.
