The grand unified theory of having a crush
I’d wanted to learn a Latin language for years. Having a date with a Colombian woman had me learning Spanish within a week (there’s an obvious Romance language joke here).
If you have a date on Friday, it shapes your whole week, like an important work meeting.
I know women who are especially good at making use of their crush. They smile at the right person, love the vibe of cozy cafés, take the scenic route on the walk home. I learned from them that you can flirt and have a crush on anything.
Maybe the secret of life is renewing your crush every day.
