Talking to him, frankly, about your concerns.

...Or alternatively concocting an elaborate subterfuge in which you have someone else conduct reconnaissance for you, I suppose, but either way.

[parodeity]

i like option b better
although
idk what kinda reconnaissance id need to do
when im into a hypothetically straight guy

i mean
hypothetically
that would be a thing i was
in this hypothetical situation

[roseblooms]

Would you like me to go hit on him?

Hypothetically.

[parodeity]

how would that help youre hot enough to overcome gender preferences

[roseblooms]

...I.

Oh?

[parodeity]

i mean
HYPOTHETICALLY

[roseblooms]

I'm hypothetically flattered, albeit not entirely sure if you're insinuating that I'd look as good in a dress as I would in a suit.

[parodeity]

hypothetically you probably would depending on the cut and style of the dress
its not like people can just throw on ANY dress and look ok
its like a suit
cut matters

[roseblooms]

...

What cut and style of dress, hypothetically?

[parodeity]

i think it ruins my hypothetical credibility if i admit to giving this any serious thought

[roseblooms]

I will guarantee a blanket presumption of hypothetical-ability if you present your conclusions, no questions asked.

[parodeity]

evening gowns with like the swooping wrap necks you know

[roseblooms]

Those are called halter necks, I think.

I will neither confirm nor deny why I hypothetically know that.

[parodeity]

yeah those
i didnt want to use the technical term

[roseblooms]

Well, I don't own one of those, so to circle back to the original point, it's hardly as though I'd be hitting on him while wearing one.

[parodeity]

maybe that would help
because of the straight thing

[roseblooms]

You want me to go undercover as Christine Fawkes, a red-haired bombshell in a halter dress, and flirt with him to see who he's interested in.

[parodeity]

like the more complicated you make it the more fun it sounds?

[roseblooms]

By all means, help me think up an elaborate character backstory, then. Did she have a tragic childhood?

[parodeity]

middle child syndrome

[roseblooms]

Tragic. An overachieving elder sister who's everything she could possibly want to be, and a younger brother who can do no wrong in the eyes of her parents.

[parodeity]

and dozens of perfect cousins
a family of overachievement

[roseblooms]

She just wants to be free to live her life on her own terms. A true child of the bohemian philosophy.

[parodeity]

obviously shes an artist but her parents want a doctor

[roseblooms]

I'm no good at art. Can she long to be a florist?

...Flower arrangement is art, probably...?
