It could be. But then it would be the point in time where I tell you that I have the situation as under control as possible. I'll ask him out once he actually shows any indication of turning his interest to me, ok. It isn't like I haven't been dropping hints that he should consider me a possible candidate.
right forget i suggested the possibility but fyi sometimes you miss obvious hints of things people are doing or feeling maybe i do too but you DEFINITELY do i dont mean that in a bratty way or in an arguing the point way its just a caution kind of way if you dont take a moment to slow down and consider things youre gonna miss a hint you actually wouldve cared about one of these days probably rose could probably say better than i could admittedly shes better at that kind of advice although im not about to ask her for her opinion since its your business not mine
I feel like I just got cautioned by the strange local in a horror movie. Or prophesied at by the ambiguously magical old person in every other kind of movie. Is there a thing you know that I missed that you aren't telling me?
there are a few but some arent important and some i think you need to work out on your own maybe and also you would argue with me also i could have been even more roundabout but because i love you i tried to be clear
Now you're really sounding like the wise old mentor, except with maybe half of the wise part. Still concerning though. I would be good with you telling me if there's something important I'm missing here. Contrary to popular belief I try not to be an asshole to people I love.
[After sending that, Dirk opens up the files
and just bursts into laughter where he's sitting.]
i think sometimes you assume people feel the way you assume they feel i think i do that too maybe everyone does im just saying keep an open mind if they say otherwise or if they like do things that indicate they might feel otherwise
[ example: this computer bug thing?
the other example is just that he's pretty sure dirk still missed that he minds certain aspects of the youngest thing, but. in this context he mostly means he doesn't think dirk would notice if there were hints jake liked dirk.
[ ALSO STOP FUCKING LAUGHING AT HIM, DIRK? DAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO BE REALLY CLEAR and he's going to spend the next week or so wanting to die every second ig. being 17 is hard and even if he survives it bigby will probably kill him when he finally cracks? if he finally cracks.
I'll try to keep an eye out for it, Unless of course I inherently can't. In which case you and the girls will have to tell me off until I work it out, or I guess make me another banner.
You are high school. You are both high school. As you have so often said to me, embrace it.
I'd like to hear it, Oby-One. At the very least it will let you say "I told you so" when I come to the end of my journey and finally realize that I had a heart all along.
the part i meant you might be missing or misconstruing in the romantic sphere of things which is more relevant than any other sphere to our current conversation is that maybe the cute little computer part bugs stuck to your computer could be a hint of some sort god knows theyre probably about as clear as some of your hints which im pretty sure you also make into jokes which probably does help either of our cases in general really ironically, (comma for clarity) ironically hitting upon people has yet to really work for me how about you
i think im in love enough that i dont even fucking care how much mainstream pop crap went into that mortifying though it is though i also keep thinking i can never let it see the light of day at the same time but
If he's actually expressing romantic desire for me, then ironic courtship has been, technically, extremely successful. But ok, I'll try to consider it in light of what you're saying. As difficult as it admittedly is. My main counterpoint is his physical behavior. Dude drapes himself all over me the same way he has our entire friendship. The way he drapes himself over other people he likes and is comfortable with. You would think there would be some change in that kind of behavior if the angle of his interest changed. If you have a solve on that one I'm listening. So far I've just been dying the same way as usual.
This is exactly why you have to send it exactly as is. You know I'm rooting for you, bro. You have to just get it out there. It'll be ok.
why would it change in the hypothetical universe where you and rose and roxy are actually correct and jades maybe hinting shit at me she still hugs me and whatever and like come to think of it i let her take my drinks or food or whatnot and take a drink or bite and it doesnt like freak me out movie style because shes been doing it for fucking ever if anything its nice shes comfortable but ok good youre actually like gonna work on that just dont assume so much about peoples feelings and you should be good
If me, Rose, and Roxy agree on something, we are guaranteed to be correct. It's mathematics, and also science. And philosophy. Ok, now you're making me sound like an asshole, Which is fair, But also, hey.
Anyone with a brain is. Which is why your future father-in-law is opposed.
i didnt mean it like youre an asshole youre not i mean you kind of are we both are but like youre just used to thinking youre right which you frequently are but like not all the time or like sometimes you were ORIGINALLY right but years have passed or whatever and youre not any longer because the formula changed?
You are going font of wisdom today. Not sarcastic there. All of this is really solid advice. I am just getting overwhelmed by your Gandolfery. I'll keep an eye out, I promise. Keep me in line if I don't?
I think that because he's an ass. Dude couldn't untangle himself from red string.
If she did something you wouldn't want the Woofman's associates to know about you know you shouldn't put it in text.
[that's his guess, his guess is Rose broke the law]
ill have you know i shave these days and if i didnt maybe id get the requisite smart dude beard alas i prefer shaving sure if it comes up again ill let you know
wait wait wait you got tangled up in the great string debacle of 2017 with bigby wolf????? and youre only telling me now??????
what no i meant speaking of rose from the beginning of the text anyway that was a terrible guess want to go for a second one
im going to hit pause on the important topic of this conversation to focus on the even more important topic which is that i do fucking so have facial hair growth i have stubble dirk when i do not shave it i need you to acknowledge this very important step in my manhood before we proceed ill take pictures if i gotta
[ maybe not a LOT of stubble but THERE'S ENOUGH TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED?
looks like dirk has to deal with dave being dave before he gets any further in the deets arena. ]
[ this is a stupid detour but DIRK WILL GET PICS of his brother in his pajamas though this is focused on
his face
THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION HAPPENING BEFORE DAVE DERAILED IT? MAYBE? it's worth noting that his pajamas tend to be > plain shirt and pants OR > dumb shirt and plain pants. today it is the latter and he's wearing this for some reason. ok. ]

Yes.
Use this.

using my words against me
cruel
do you wanna know the worst part

At the very least it will let you say "I told you so" when I come to the end of my journey and finally realize that I had a heart all along.
I absolutely want to know the worst part.
no subject
which is more relevant than any other sphere to our current conversation
is that maybe

could be a hint of some sort
