This lead to questions around our dorm about whether it was our first date, to which I reflexively responded "no" meaning I had had other dates before. Later, I took her for e ride in my dad's convertibel during which she reasonably but unexpectedly to me asked if my parents would be okay with her being brown. They would have been but it wasn't really a date to me so I didn't get the question.

More than a decade later I moved back to Minneapolis and met her out for drinks. She was divorced (and now years later I know out of an abusive relationship). We wound up at her place as I took the bus and she didn't want to drive home having had some drinks. I drove her home and she immediately called me a cab, although we talked about how a mutual friend (who wanted to fuck her) told her back in college that I was only going to the dance with her to try to fuck her and she weirdly (from my perspective) sidled up to me after effecively telling me to go away via calling a cab.

So, anyway, she and I had weird vibes and I let her fall away after meeting and starting to date my now wife so it's a bit odd aside from really liking and respecting her because she's great but also realizing I was super weird with her twice because I'm a dweeb and neither of us was good at saying we were down.

Adder’s playing “women I should have fucked but didn’t”? Your child is two already? Time flies.
