I’m 20F, he’s 25M. We met in January and have been dating since last month. He’s already met my parents - they love him, and he hangs out at our house all the time. Literally no one has any issues with him, he’s super welcome here. I invited him to sleep over for a few days this week just for fun, but he said he’s not comfortable with it - apparently it feels too “intimate” for him? Like, he’s got this thing about doing private stuff with other people around. I just want him to relax a bit. We’re all adults here, and everyone knows people have private lives. How can I help him feel more okay with it?
They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.
Getting defensive isn’t necessary.
Explaining your typo is not being defensive.
The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.
Sometimes context will inform the reader whether or not the writer genuinely made a mistake or was ignorant or uninformed. I’m just being helpful here, so don’t get defensive.
It wasn’t meant in a negative way - I’ve just seen “Love Stuck” a couple times on lemmy and wanted to make sure you knew the correct version. You’re not the first I’ve seen call it that for whatever reason (typo or otherwise) so it was just kind of a general correction so others didn’t bone-apple-tea the phrase themselves.
Sorry, it wasn’t meant to throw shade or anything. Usually after I make a mistake like that I go back and edit my post to fix it.
No sweat. No offense taken.
no offense taken, but given. really, what was that, man?
Now kiss.
