Ah, that's awesome! Thank you! I saw the Met has been live streaming their most popular operas for free and I wanted to watch but with one thing and another I haven't had time. But you're right, that is the perfect follow up. I'm so glad you're enjoying it and that people are still reading in these crazy times. More chapters will be coming each week, don't worry!

Thank you Annabelle! I never realized it until I met that guy completely coincidentally, but yeah, a stutter can be super devvy.

I'm a bit behind on reading the newest chapters, so I'm sorry that this is not a comment to the latest chapter ;-).
The most relatable section for me was this:
I'm always picturing how sexy meeting with a PWD is, but when it's actually happening, my mind is too occupied with the practicalities and with wanting to seem like the perfect catch. Because of more or less recent events, I noticed that this strategy is not the best at all times, especially not when the guy is someone who just fakes to be okay with me being a dev. (Not that I wanted to date someone who is not okay with it, but yeah.) You write that you've come to recognize if a disabled guy is like that. I'm curious, how do you do that? I have some cues, like if he has some judgmental sounding questions about devness or doesn't want to talk about disability stuff, but I don't think either of them is a real indicator and it could always be for other reasons...
Anyway, thank you again for sharing your experiences with us :).

Thanks lisa ! I'm always so happy when readers identify with my experiences. We're not alone! someone who just fakes to be okay with me being a dev. (Not that I wanted to date someone who is not okay with it, but yeah.) You write that you've come to recognize if a disabled guy is like that. I'm curious, how do you do that? Oh my goodness, it's been over ten years since I was dating so it's hard to remember exactly. I think it's just a hunch--does he talk about his disability casually, matter of factly, or is he bitter and angry? Also guys who are morbidly curious, who say things like "I don't know how you can be attracted to disabled people, we're all so messed up." Or guys who would say, "I thought you would be a freak, I just wanted to know what a real devotee would be like. You're so normal!" Of course I was wrong many times, obviously. Lots of times I engaged in wishful thinking when I was attracted to a guy, or even tried to talk him into seeing me. That never worked out well.
To be honest, I can't remember exactly what Birk said that made me so confident that he was ok with me being a dev. But he knew it before he even met me since it was in my online profile and it was never an issue between us.

Oh dude. Shorts and knee high socks? Run. You're too good devogirl, you're getting me through this quarantine, and I really need better for you.

Aw, thanks cilantro! It's mysterious to me why several people in the comments were swooning over Birk. Someone left a comment on a previous chapter saying she wanted to write Birk/DG fanfiction. Hilarious! I say, go for it. But seriously, if she met him in real life I doubt she would be saying that. I thought I made it clear in the previous chapters why I had doubts about him from the beginning but maybe not clear enough, haha.

I’ve tried so often to leave a comment lately, but it never works. :/ Anyway, great chapter as always. I never understood why people were loving Birk so much...

Thank you! A lot of people seem to have trouble leaving comments. I don't know what is causing the problem, but it's very frustrating. But I appreciate comments in this thread just as much, thank you!
