Here's a Story

So recently, I met this pretty interesting person at college. They needed to interview LGBT+ students for their anthropology project and they came around to the GSA table during the club expo to ask me. I agreed, and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think they were cute the first time I saw them.
They interview me and it turns out we had some pretty nice chemistry together. We even go on a lunch date, and we both had a good time. I text me friend about the sorta date and about how I wouldn't mind going on a for realsies date with this person and my friend said, "JUST DO IT."
Of course.
So I asked them out on an "honest to god, Capital D Date-Date" last week and they were not opposed to the idea? And even thought about it being a possibility. Unfortunately, because I'm part of their project, they don't think it's "ethical" to go on a Date with the subject and we're going to have to wait until the project is done.
Come the weekend, we have a nice little back and forth texting/snapchatting going on and I say some funny things, and they talk about Date ideas and it's going pretty swell until they wanted to exchange instagrams.
Yikes.
Because my IG has my fursuiting pictures on it, and I thought that they might not be the biggest fan of furries.
TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT.
The text I received after the reveal was: "I'll forgive you soon. Just give me a moment".
Then: "[I am disappointed that you are a furry]. Personally, I find furry stuff gross".
We haven't really texted in earnest Before the Reveal. Woof.
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed because I was getting excited at the thought of the actual dating process (especially since I've really 'come out' this year). I kind of just fell into my last relationship, but whatever this was shaping up to be would be deliberate. Now I'm afraid I scared them off and screwed everything up because, out of all things, I'm a giant animal person nerd.
We'll see what happens. You win some you lose some and why would you date somebody who doesn't even want a fursona anyway?

And yeah, let's face it, furry is kind of weird. But hey, it's fun!
