126. What is your unrealistic dream job?

Talk to your crush about their dream job — it could be as silly as sleeping all day. If they are a reader, they might want a job that pays for reading books.

It might get pretty intense, especially if you both do not follow similar fandoms. Keep the conversation light and discuss what they like about a particular fandom and tell them about yours. But on the flip side, if your fandoms match, it is like finding a long-lost twin.

Discussing this in the crush stage will make sure you don’t go ahead with any misconceptions.
