[crowsicle]

sure
my finely crafted ear canals are always open for business
whats up

[thepuppetmaster]

I need some advice.

[crowsicle]

uh
what kind

[thepuppetmaster]

It's about Hanna.

[crowsicle]

did he get you pregnant

[thepuppetmaster]

Don't be a shit this is serious.

[crowsicle]

did you get him pregnant??
ok dude talk to me what's the issue

[thepuppetmaster]

I think I'm in love with him.
That's the issue.

[crowsicle]

oh
oh wow
ok
so
yeah thats a big one huh
what do you want to do about it

[thepuppetmaster]

I want to tell him.

[crowsicle]

so
do it?

[thepuppetmaster]

That's the other issue.

[crowsicle]

bro youre going to have to elaborate a little more clearly
im not problem sleuth

[thepuppetmaster]

How am I supposed to tell him something like that when just the idea of dating me still occasionally freaks him out.

[crowsicle]

because youre a teenager
or something else

[thepuppetmaster]

...
I don't know.
I don't think it's that.
Not at this point in our relationship.

[crowsicle]

ok
hes kind of a flighty insecure little asshole isnt he
hanna
underneath all the big noise and jokes i mean
im saying this in the most empathetic and self aware way possible just so you understand im not judging him for it or anything

[thepuppetmaster]

Nah, I get it.
You're right.
I guess that's why we fit together so well.

[crowsicle]

there are plenty of ways to tell someone you love them without actually telling them
just so he knows
without possibly scaring him with all the implications of the l word
the official stuff can come later when youve eased each other into it
that worked on me anyway

[thepuppetmaster]

You know I've had next to no experience with social norms when it comes to expressing more potent emotions.
My entire teenage life up until age sixteen was a mess of semi-deliberately crossed wires and shitty drama.
Help me out here.

[crowsicle]

presents
everybody loves presents

[thepuppetmaster]

I was hoping for advice that was a little less materialistic, dude.

[crowsicle]

then you definitely came to the wrong bird
think of it this way though
whats more romantic than trying to make the life of the person you love a little prettier or brighter
or telling them like
hey
i think youll like this thing because it made me think of you

[thepuppetmaster]

Is that a rhetorical question.

[crowsicle]

yes
though probably the best way to tell someone you want to be with them all the time is just to you know
be with them all the time

and hey
theres always flowers
