BOY: guapo
me: attraction’s nice, but not mandatory
7:22 PM BOY: just so long as he’s attracted to you
me: not to sound cocky, but that’s not exactly the most difficult thing
BOY: there ya go
you’ve got it, and you flaunt it
7:23 PM me: well, it’s not like i’m all that intimidating or inaccessible, either
and at this point, a date would be nice. he doesn’t even have to be emotionally available
BOY: right on all counts
7:24 PM what about OTHER BOY?
do you know him?
me: um, yes. what made you think of him?
BOY: single, fun…used to be in the [cool] ward

you don’t even need my expert services
me: cop out

7:26 PM it’ll be fun
BOY: lemme think some more…just in case he doesn’t propose to you whilst he blows out his candles
me: no pressure
no rush
i know you’ll be thoughtful
BOY: now i will be
7:27 PM me: you’re a dork

7:44 PM me: dude. i would have brought you some good luck

me: where do you play?
BOY: [sports place]
7:46 PM me: would it be okay if i showed up sometime?
BOY: sure
there’s not really seating
