Once when I was still a kid, I told a woman I loved her so much that I could only love her more if she was a robot.

She did not think that was romantic.

there are so many things wrong with this

I think it's kinda sweet for a kid. I mean what's cooler than a robot when you're 7? that's pretty much the pinnicle of "cool" at that age, or at least it was for me. So to compare a crush to a robot for a kid is similar to shakespear comparing thier lover to "a summer's day" or Selena Gomez comparing thier lover to "a love song"

I, uh, wasn't 7. I was about 10 years older than that and just dumb.

Look, I'm a grown-ass adult and have been for awhile. If someone said that to me now I'd start shopping for an engagement ring.

I love you so much I think you're way cooler than a robot!

Now put a ring on it. And I want a diamond.

you're way cooler than a robot

See, that's how I know it's a lie 🤣

So, less a "kid" and more "almost adult". Yeah, I can see that being taken as very weird or creepy

I don't think we're far off from 7 year olds being entirely unimpressed robots. They'll just think it's a dumb vacuum

'Cause I'm just thinking about tearing you down to check how your insides works.
