eep

why?

@Tinkeringbell Mom went "talked to the girl again?"

Uhoh?

I wasn't aware and I have no idea what to say :D

The truth? Did you talk to her again or not? :P

My elder brother was not particularly useful

no, I mean I should :D

but ahhhh I literally seem to be constantly dropped into the deep end of the pool

Okay, so you basically want a list of cheesy pickup lines? :P

oh dear god no

If I needed that I'd ask on root access

Or do it myself

I do cheesy pretty rank

@JourneymanGeek Oh, you think they're better at that than us? :P

Hahaha

@Tinkeringbell its a sausage party. So... wurst. Or worst. Depending

So, uhmm is there stuff you talked about last time that you can pick up again?

hides

didn't talk much lol

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION MY MOM WAS SUPPOSED TO TALK TO HER MOM AGAIN

AND NO ONE TELLS ME HOW THESE THINGS WORK!

this sounds almost like a turn based RPG :P

So, you think she'll be mad you didn't say something to her sooner?

naw

her mom said she wasn't free except weekends

and I was confused over timezones

I'll just say hi and let her pick up from there

Yeah, that sounds good :)

sigh

You could add an 'how are you today' to give her something to say back :)

@Tinkeringbell its like an RPG. Only you know none of the rules

I'd if we had talked more than once :D

I'm not sure of the etiquette of this or ...

how fast/slow to go, or how to tell if she's interested or....

@JourneymanGeek Yeah me neither! I don't date and I'm Dutch :)

cough

@Tinkeringbell typically stuff just fell into place, then fell apart in my 20s :D

now. IDK :D

Well, at some point it can only fall into place more ;)

I guess if you go too fast or slow, there'll be some signs?

No idea

not really done this before properly :D

:/ Well, fingers crossed then! I think your mom might actually help a bit with reminding you if you go too slow ;)

lol

maybe

re replied. I almost went hi again

XD

I think I'm glad you're not doing a phone call with her for you ;)

That's easier

Hi - hello - hey -hi ? :P

Ok, I went full babbly ><

You'll do fine, you talk to women on here every day ;)

is different :D

Just a little ;) It might still help to think of it as just a talk, one that you have with a lot of different people each day?

I don't know if she's ... one of us or a muggle yet :D

Awww

though I suspect if she was one of us, I'd me more EEEEEEEE

Just keep calm ;) Shouting at her like that won't help :P

naw, am shouting at you lot :D

cause I cannot tweet :D

Hahaha can she see your tweets? :)

naw

worse, family

she hasn't seen my profile yet though :/

Hmmm.

Well that gives you stuff to talk to her about?

@JourneymanGeek Btw if I should just shut up and listen, lemme know ;)

@Tinkeringbell I've asked her to get back to me either way

and give a little space

Ugh that sounds nerve-wrecking...

this arranged marriage business feels suspeciously like online dating :D

@Tinkeringbell patience is not one of my strong points

but eh, I think giving the lass space is the right thing. I'm ok with "No"s

That's good :) I think she might appreciate it in the end.

@JourneymanGeek Isn't it? :P

@Tinkeringbell NOT IN THE OLD DAYS!

WAS SIMPLE!

I guess if your parents did more, it might not... but since you're stuck doing stuff yourself...

yup
