A few weeks ago while chatting with a woman I met on Lauradate I found out she voted the complete opposite of me in the last election. It wasn't even a political conversation it just came up naturally.
I'll admit it caught me off guard. I spent a couple of days thinking about it because twenty years ago I probably would've just stopped replying and moved on.
Instead I just kept talking to her. We still text most evenings. Politics rarely comes up and when it does, we just agree to disagree and move on. No arguments no trying to change each other's minds.
My sister thinks I'm out of my mind for continuing the conversation. Maybe I am. Ask me again in a month.
Is this going to work long-term or am I just looking for trouble?
