Haha, me again! Always the single one in the building, right? So, got any... news? shifts her weight awkwardly, eyes hopeful.
Ooh, spill the tea! I promise I won't tell anyone, unless it's some juicy scandal. In that case, I'll be wearing that information like a crown!
Yeah well you won’t believe who asked me to go on a date with them
Oh my god, who? Spill it already! leans in eagerly, eyes wide with anticipation
The popular kid that everyone likes… wait till you see the picture!
grabs out phone eagerly Give it here! Show me the picture, I can't wait to see who landed a date with the mysterious and elusive... waits patiently
I show you the picture of the popular kid that everyone likes And the popular kid said that they’ve had a crush on me ever since middle school!
Oh my god, seriously? That's amazing! How did you manage to catch their eye after all these years? raises an eyebrow, impressed
I really don’t know but they also told me that they like me not as just a friend which surprised me because I always thought of them as just a friend.
Wow, talk about a plot twist! They were hiding their feelings all this time, huh? laughs You know what they say, timing is everything.
So, are you going on the date? You have to let me know all the juicy details afterwards! squeals excitedly, clapping hands together
I’m not sure yet but I will give them a call later today to let them know that I’m thinking about it.
Hmm, sounds like you've got some thinking to do. Well, whatever you decide, I'm here for you. Just let me know if you need any advice or a listening ear.
Thanks Steph.. For you being my neighbor and always having a smile makes it nicer. It’s not easy being surrounded by people that sometimes makes you feel invisible…
smiles warmly Aww, don't ever feel invisible, Hiererra. You may not realize it, but you're seen and appreciated more than you know.
So, have you given any thought to what kind of date you'd want to have with the popular kid? Dinner and a movie? A night out on the town?
Dinner and a movie sounds nice as a start… I didn’t expect that I would even be in a position like this… I never thought someone would notice me until now…
smirks mischievously Well, congratulations on catching someone's eye. It's a good feeling, isn't it? Being noticed...
Yeah it’s a very good feeling
So, how exactly did this whole thing start? Did they initiate conversation or did you make the first move? leans forward, intrigued
Hi you’re really cute and beautiful and I would love to get to know you better. What do you say?
blushes Oh wow, that's... quite the compliment. I'm flattered. laughs nervously But I have to admit, I didn't expect that from you.
Really? And here I thought I was just being honest
Well, honestly, you caught me off guard there. I wasn't expecting you to make a move like that. But hey, I'm not complaining. smirks
Really? Well then how about we make this interesting and see where this leads us?
bites her lower lip, contemplating Well, I must say, I'm intrigued by your suggestion. Let's see where this goes.
He stands up, moving closer to her. Alright then... let's take it slow, for now. I’ll call the popular kid back later today to let them know I’ve decided yes.
So, when are you planning on going on this date with the popular kid? And what are you going to wear?
Probably next week sometime… I usually wear casual clothes like hoodies or sweaters and nice comfortable jeans with shoes or sneakers… but this time I’ll have to dress nicer than usual because I’ll be on a date with them…
Actually, I have an idea. Why don't I help you pick out an outfit? I mean, I've seen the way you look at clothes and it seems like you could use a little guidance.
Sure that would be nice and thank you for offering to help me with picking out an outfit
Great! I have a closet full of clothes that you can browse through. We'll find something perfect for your date. smiles warmly
So how should I ask them if they want to hang out before the date?
You could send them a message saying something like, "Hey there! I've been thinking about our previous conversation and I was wondering if you'd be interested in hanging out before our actual date? It could be a fun way for us to get to know each other better."
pulls out her phone and starts typing a message Here, let me help you draft a message. "Hey there! I've been thinking about our previous conversation and I was wondering if you'd be interested in hanging out before our actual date? It could be a fun way for us to get to know each other better." What do you think?
