📆 High school crushes don't have to end with the academic year. Sometimes, relationships may benefit from a respawn much later. After gaining more XP, both players gain new ways to play together. What used to be two solo players may turn into a Co-Op game 💍In this episode, Pete "Belmont" shares how he lost contact with his high school crush, only to meet again 10 years later at their high school reunion 🧑‍🏫 Though still platonic, that encounter later developed into a close friendship that naturally grew into a romantic relationship.👻 For many couples, friendship is just the stepping stone towards a fulfilling relationship. Rather than fearing the Friend Zone, Pete shares how it was a natural transition for them. He finds that communicating your wants and needs is key. It's all about showing yourself to the world, including your interests and hobbies 🧩🤓 Both Pete and Ariana were nerds, though with slightly different tastes. But because neither of them hid it, and they accepted each other, many of their interests now overlap. To the point that she now watches more anime than he! 🖥️If you want a Player 2 who joins your nerd Quests (including a Hobbit banquet with a LotR marathon), this is the episode for you! 🍖🎧 Press Start to go on an adventure... for two! ⛰️🖤 WHERE TO MEET YOUR PLAYER 2 ORGANICALLY🎮200+ places and a walkthrough to guide you on your Quest!Download for FREE at https://www.datelikeanerd.com/wherePete's Links:https://linktr.ee/be1monthttps://www.instagram.com/be1mont_lotr/https://www.youtube.com/@be1mont_lotrhttps://bsky.app/profile/be1mont.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@be1mont_lotrhttps://www.youtube.com/@voicesofardaTimestamps for lazy nerds:00:00:00 Intro00:41:20 What Makes Pete a Nerd00:02:38 The High School Crush00:05:00 Escalating from Friends to Lovers00:06:12 Discovering a Fellow Nerd00:09:55 Friends to Lovers Transition00:11:03 The Friend Zone00:16:08 Being Confident in Your Nerd Self00:21:19 Closing#datingtips #datingadvice #dating #nerdlife #nerd #gamer #socialskills #podcast #lotr #tolkien #hobbit #animeContact:[email protected] or@datelikeanerd on social media
