/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Get family arranged date because I'm 29 and never been in a relationship, and my mother's co-worker has a daughter who is 27 and never been in a relationship
>Really don't want to go, but went on condition that mom stops butting into my nonexistent love life if I'm not interested in the girl
>Get on date, she's just staring at her phone after greetings and browsing away
>Notice she's wearing an Angelic Pretty heart purse and trying to pass it off as a normie purse
>"So you wear a lot of AP or just like that bag in particular?"
>She gets taken back for a moment but then responds with "My mom got me this bag, sorry I don't know anything about it."
>"...so your mom got you a bag from a Japanese Lolita brand? Does she just casually browse Lacemarket? There are plenty of other heart shaped bags she could have gotten. Is your mom a Lolita?"
>She puts her phone down
>"...okay, did she tell you about me or something?"
>"I've never even spoken to your mother in my entire life. My mother arranged this for me kinda against my will so I didn't ask for details either."
>"Oh same. I mean no offense but I just didn't want to come but thought it'd get her off my back"
>"Same same. But you're avoiding the question, do you wear a lot of AP?"
>"How do you know about AP?"
>"Eh, I kinda learned about Lolita fashion a bit from the internet."
>"Okay, so is your mom a Lolita or something and you casually browsed Lacemarket one day to buy her a present?"
>Oh fuck, that was a pretty nice comeback
>"I browse /cgl/ for cosplay and kinda stumble on Lolita threads here and there because the fashion is...interesting"
>Suddenly we're just having a full blown conversation and cracking jokes at each other
>Have a pretty fun night
>Not interested romantically but she was pretty cool
>Make that clear to her
>She asks for my discord
>Tells me she won't add me back until she confirms I'm a regular here
>"Post about our date on the shittiest thread that's cancer to the board."
