I'm kinda just tired of people seeing not being interested in dating as a flaw.
Yes, in Ling Qi's case this is atleast partially due to childhood trauma, so seeing it as a flaw is not without merit.
But i'm still tired of it.
Also, i'd rather not force it, we can have good time, spar, get to know they guy better, and maybe go on a date in the future?

In life, as in Cultivation, sometimes you have to take a risk.

Although we do have a standing task from Cai to try and figure out why the Bao are discontent about the gnawing ones' involvement, I'd rather vote fore the more honest option. Might also lets us take a look at Bao Qian's domain maybe.

Ling Qi has to get her social legs under her, and it's not like a dinner date is an engagement contract. Even if she is uncomfortable and has a bad time, being in the Emerald Seas court won't be any easier. Had we chosen to remain in the Sect that might have been a valid option, but as we haven't, it isn't.

It's just dinner... be brave and face your discomfort, LQ. Bao Qian seems fine.

The alternative is a touch more of a Goku way to getting to know someone than I'd like.

Even though that random guy doesn't really have a chance, I'd rather not touch romantic shenanigans at all. It's a source of stress for me and I don't want to feel stressed while reading a story I really like.

Gotta agree. In my experience there are two ways to do romance well in quests, to not to do it at all and to give people options near the start with no build-up to decide in one vote then QM is free to develop that relationship as it fits. Dragging it out never ever goes well.
Honestly that's why I voted for the opposite. The sooner we make a decision regarding romance the sooner we can be alone and live vicariously through Meizhen's much more successful love life. Running from it will have it taper off unsatisfyingly while confronting it will let Ling Qi decide that romance simply isn't for her. We tell everyone we'll entertain getting a husband when we need one and then don't have that hanging over our head like the Sword of Damocles.

This is the kiddy pool, better to learn to swim now when the dangers are minimal than drown in the deep end.

Erm, LQ is actually fairly romantic under her trauma. Her biggest gripe with arranged marriages is that she feels that it should be more then just a business transaction. Aka she wants a romance, it is just that her hang ups are stopping her from actually looking for one.

We can always have a spar even if the date falls through, Plus we got PMR to fall back on I'm confident this will be good for her.
