The burden of proof lies with the claimant. Smiling, teasing, prolonged eye contact, exclusive meetings, and suspiciously date-coded dialogue are insufficient to establish the proposition ‘they were dating.’ At most, the evidence supports ‘strategic alliance formation with anomalous interpersonal variables. Objectively speaking, a date requires mutual intent to engage in a primarily social or romantic interaction. Their meeting’s explicit objective was strategic negotiation regarding dungeon-related interests. Any observed chemistry is an incidental byproduct of two highly competent individuals interacting under low-stakes environmental conditions. Correlation is not causation. (Counterpoint: your honor, they’re literally flirting. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ gimmmme money pllsss)
if someone can convince me they weren't on a date, I'll give you money (⊙…⊙ )
