[What? Were you actually expecting her to record a voice message?]

L-LOOK! It's nothing ! I just accidentally sent a practice message off to the wrong person so like...

don't dig into it or anything!

[threelayers]

THAT was your practice message?
Brothers, what were you going to say to the guy when you actually ask him out?
Seriously, you need a coach on this cause I'm bad but you are really really nervous about this.

[glitchinthesystem]

Look! I don't ask people out on a frequent basis! Dating isn't something that's a big thing in the dome and I didn't have time for it!

Besides all the dudes were kinda assholes.

[Speaking as an asshole. ]

[threelayers]

Only casanovas ask people out a lot, dumby
Look, this isn't that complicated and you're overthinking it.
You like him, just ask him out to a movie and make sure he understands you're asking him out out, not just as buddies.

What's so hard?

[glitchinthesystem]

...It's hard when he got my practice message and said no.

That's what's so hard about it.

[threelayers]

Ah well, that is a thing yes.
I'm going to go with "Better luck next time?" on this one?

But seriously, try not to be so nervous about it.
Confidence is sexy for most people.
As long as it's not over-confidence.

[glitchinthesystem]

Hey. I have plenty of confidence....just not with this.

But, I'll keep it in mind for next time if there's a guy.

I doubt it, but I'll keep it in mind.

[threelayers]

Not giving you the "Many Fish in the Sea" bullshit line.
But think of it this way?
You're young, and if even a screwed up basket case like me can find someone?
You'll get there eventually. Just takes the right timing and patience.

So what's your type like anyway?

[glitchinthesystem]

Okay, fair enough but uh...

I don't know if we're close enough for me to share something like that.

But, uh. I like guys if that's what you mean.

[threelayers]

Fair, but you ARE the one who butt dailed me your confession
And you do realize I can look up Hunk and figure out your type that way right, hehe.

But on the plus side?
You're in luck there!
Lotta dicks here.

[She was awful sometimes.]

[glitchinthesystem]

[ The longest of pauses and the longest of flattest, blankest stares. ]

I'm hanging up on you now.

[ because you are awful, Neo. And he clicks off. ]
