How are you getting from that exchange that she’s discussing Valentine’s Day plans?[/quote]

Here's the OP:

[quote]OP here. I'm not sure about what type of influence, just it was so odd for this girl to blurt out (in front of me) while talking to my DD and their other friend that she is a pansexual and all her [b]Valentine's dating plans [/b]are "wide open." [/quote][/quote]

Right. So, how are you getting from that that she's discussing Valentine's Day plans?[/quote]

See the bolded, above.[/quote]

So, you're intentionally missing the point. There are no plans being discussed. As anyone with a 13 year old knows, this was an opportunity to, as OP describes it, blurt out she's identifying as pansexual. By intentionally ignoring this detail, you are trying to make anyone who notices this detail seem like a bigot of some kind. You're welcome to think that. There are things you discuss in front of your peers that you don't discuss in front of other people. If I were the mom in the car, I wouldn't discuss my sexual preferences. Why? Because it's inappropriate. If I have to tell you why, then that would be truly disturbing. There is a time and place. On a job interview, you wouldn't discuss your sexual preferences. Do I need to tell you why? So, if the scenario that OP presents seems totally acceptable to you...great. I understand what OP is saying, even if you are pretending not to.[/quote]
