Friendship from Tunebug by Junebug

Let me give you all advice for when romance is so hard
When you don’t have a boo for your valentines card

Get yourself a girl of the gendered persuasion
Let her talk about her special interested, show no evasion

And remember to be engaged!
Be interested!
And most of all be kind!!

And say

You’re so cute when you’re excited, you’re so cute when you smile
And I’m hoping that you might stick around for a while
I’ll give you plenty headpats and I’ll listen to your rants
I’m just hoping that you’ll give me a chance

Now let’s say you’re a gendered girl looking for a gendered guy
I’ve got a neat little trick I think you should try

Go to open up a jar, pickles, salsa too
Ask him to come along and open it for you

And don’t be patronising or belittling when you say

Oh you’re so big and strong, you’re grip strength does impress
The way that you’ve helped me, well, it shows you are the best
Now come here hold my hand or put your arm around my waist
And let me kiss your stupid handsome face

Now lets say, hear me out, theyre neither guy nor gal
And what you’re chasing down is a non-binary pal

Well talk about your favourite cryptids, say you love the void
Say you think the perfect lifeform is a frog of fungoid

And put up with their eccentricities and that’s gender moments
(you know the ones)

And say

I think your pronouns are so cool. I love your nounly name
I love the way you treat gender like it’s a fun game
I hope that I can give the chance to let you feel free
Run away and disappear with me

It’s important to remember with all these fine folks
This is comical advice not surefire stocks
Treat them with respect unless they ask you otherwise
And always keeps your eyes on the prize
