Dani and Adan met after a long time due to their busy schedule. Dani shared that she had to cancel several one-on-one animation classes to make time for the date. Adan, who worked as a security guard, talked about his job and how his managers allowed him to work fewer hours due to his college schedule.

Their conversation in Love On The Spectrum soon shifted focus to relationship boundaries. Although the couple seemed to have a good time, enjoying their coffee, Adan opened up to Dani,

“I think in a relationship, you and I both know boundaries are important, right? And you know I would respect your boundaries as you would respect mine, right?”

When Dani agreed, Adan continued,

“I have some things I’m not ready for yet in this relationship. I don’t feel comfortable with s*x outside of marriage.”

He assured Dani that he loved and respected her, but felt the need to be honest. Dani acknowledged his feelings, admitting that while it was a bit upsetting, she respected his boundaries and left the decision up to him.

Adan appreciated her response and reassured her of his support. He admitted that the situation was extremely uncomfortable for both of them. While she managed to stay composed, he could see the pain in her eyes and knew it had hurt her.

“I just feel devastated. No matter how hard I tried to drown my sorrows, I didn't want to invade Adan's boundaries or anything, but it's not, the relationship with Adan isn't working," Dani said in a confessional.
