I said OFTEN, not always. You're the exception that proves the rule.
I heard that. And you know, I've learned something-- [He's gearing up for one of his motivational speeches.] -- sometimes life is cruel, and lonely. More than sometimes, actually. And for long stretches of time. BUT if you're willing to put yourself out there and don't put an expectation on what form it'll take, you'll usually meet someone you can connect with.
No. Not compared to you I don't. I know normal loneliness, where you see people but don't connect to them. But it's not the same and I won't insult you by saying it is.

(Dirk has no real idea how to prove it beyond sending Kyle pictures but those could be easily altered.
Dirk is dead quiet when Kyle asks that question. For the first time in his life, he feels a sense of embarrassment about his own sexuality.)
Virginity is a derogatory construct. (Yes. Provide a pretentious, philosophical answer instead. Good approach.)
Oh my fucking God. So you have eaten human feces before? (They are both out here asking the important questions.)
no subject
I'm glad anime from like the 2010s survived I guess?
[You can hear the smile in his voice when Kyle speaks again.] Yeah. Yeah, I guess it is. It's cool, though.
[SIGH. His oen fault, but he wanted to reveal something embarrassing so Dirk wouldn't feel bad.]
Against my will, but yes.

(Dirk scoffs.)
Shut up, Broflovski. I have fucked myself more thoroughly than any guy ever could.
(Thanks!!!)
I will try to keep any shit-eating jokes to a bare minimum.
no subject
I wasn't being sarcastic! Dude I didn't get laid until college and it's mostly been unimpressive, so, yeah you probably have.
I appreciate that.
no subject
Oh, I definitely have. I have a whole robot for it and everything. I don't really feel like a virgin.
no subject
But.]
You built a fuck machine?!
no subject
But for the fuck machine...)
Dude, obviously.

[Why the long silence, Kyle? Thinking about it?
He coughs lightly.] Okay! Uhm. Next episode?
no subject
Sure thing, darlin'.
no subject
[He falls quiet as they watch for the most part, getting sucked into the story in spite of himself.]
Okay, this really doesn't suck.
no subject
(Always get them hooked by episode 3. Dirk gets invested himself as he always manages to whenever he rewatches this show.
He doesn't cry. He never cries. But his chest does sure start to clench.)
Do you think there are people who don't fall in love with their best friend?
no subject
Gotta be, but I did a little so I can't talk.
no subject
(He sometimes actually believed that.)
no subject
If you're all alone, was it an online thing?
no subject
(Dirk preferred to psychoanalyze everything.)
Yeah. All my things are online things.
no subject
Hey, that's not any less valid.
no subject
(He sighs slightly.)
But he wasn't smart like Lara Croft. Not a bad dude, just dense as fuck.
I guess. It just isn't the kind of long-distance most dudes are interested in.
no subject
I guess not. Still. Feelings are real.
no subject
(Hm. Dirk grunts quietly at that last bit. This dude was pessimistic as fuck about relationships, okay.)

(He's smirking until he's not because fuck Kyle for being so considerate.)
Respectfully, you have no idea what actual loneliness feels like.
