One of Ben's grad school friends is going through a rough breakup, and Ben tried to comfort him by joking that being single is probably better for his research productivity. When Ben relayed that conversation to me I feigned insult and said that I didn't think I hurt his research, to which he replied, "yeah, but you're very different from a real girlfriend."
Twenty minutes of frantic back-peddling and explaining later, I still have no idea what he was trying to say.
I understood what Ben said, it's a compliment!
ReplyDeleteSo, Dave...am I your real girlfriend or not? ;)
ReplyDelete(I second that it was a compliment!)
Wait, so were you able to do so awesome in grad school because Dave isn't a real boyfriend?
