Lecture Notes: Deb's YouTube Video on Judging Romantic Interactions

Introduction

• Presenter: Deborah (aka Grandma Deb)
• Audience: Viewers (addressed as sweet grandchildren)

Background

• Took a month to release this video due to studying and receiving a certificate of appreciation (jokingly claimed from a dean).
• Equipped with a certificate, gavel, and mic to be taken seriously.

Purpose of Video

• Viewers submitted their encounters with potential romantic interests for Deborah to judge and provide verdicts on whether their thoughts are delusional ("delulu") or not.
• Emphasis on providing honest and realistic judgments.

Encounter Stories

Story 1: Physical Touch from Friend

• Submitter: An unnamed girl in a friend group with a guy named Jeremiah.
• Situation: Jeremiah exhibits physical touch (holding hands, etc.), making the girl think he likes her.
• Judgment: (Bias admission) Physical touch indicates romantic interest due to Deb's own love language. Verdict is that there's likely something there.

Story 2: Customer Attraction

• Submitter: A male store worker attracted to a male customer.
• Situation: Helping a customer with adult toys, feeling intense attraction, and wondering if the feelings were mutual.
• Judgment: Acknowledges the fantasy but concludes nothing was likely there. Sentences the submitter to another semester at University of "Dulu" (delusional university).

Story 3: Close Friendship with Possible Romance

• Submitter: A girl with a long-standing friendship with a conventionally attractive boy who gives her Valentine's gifts and calls her his girlfriend.
• Situation: Unsure if these gestures mean he likes her romantically.
• Judgment: Deb thinks the boy needs time to grow and love himself first. No romantic interest currently. Sentenced to another semester at the University of "Dulu."

Story 4: Brothers Fighting

• Submitter: An Irish girl witnessing two brothers fight after one confessed liking her.
• Situation: Younger brother's interest interrupted by an older brother's violence.
• Judgment: Acknowledges potential romantic interest but points out the need for the older brother to seek therapy. Not entirely delusional but sent to delusional university for focusing on romance over the violent act.

Story 5: Sexy Tone Misinterpretation

• Submitter: A girl who bumped into a guy with a girlfriend and believed his response in a "sexy tone" indicated interest.
• Situation: Thinks the guy is interested despite having a girlfriend.
• Judgment: Calls this delusional and sentences the girl to delusional jail. Acknowledge the tendency to fantasize about minor interactions.

Story 6: Paragraph Apology

• Submitter: A British girl who received an apology text from her best friend after he didn’t talk to her at a party.
• Situation: Wondering if the apology indicates romantic interest.
• Judgment: Thinks there's something there due to his effort to apologize. Encourages to keep pursuing.

Conclusion

• Reflection: Deb feels she gave fair judgments, balancing bias with realism.
• Call to Action: Invites viewers to share their thoughts and whether they agree or disagree with her judgments.
• Sign-off: Thanks viewers and promises to see them in the next video.
