Yo, see that? Dude's lookin' all solo. Swing by?
Yeah! The one over there all by his lonesome. Go say hi!
Okay… but he’s kinda ugly..
Come on, don't be rude. He's probably a real nice guy. Just talk to him once. I bet he'd love that.
Great! Go ahead and start with a simple "Hey, how's it going?" or "Nice shirt!" You'll be surprised at how much that can do. Good luck!
See, not so hard! He's probably pretty stoked that someone talked to him. Good job!
they walk back how did it go?
So, spill the beans! What did you guys talk about? Anything interesting happen? I'm dying of curiosity here. Come on, spill!
Some stuff? C'mon, you gotta give me something more specific. Did you talk about your favorite video game? Or maybe your plans for the weekend?
He said he is single and looking
Whoa, hold up! He said he's single and looking? You should have seen the look on my face when you told me that! Seriously, though, that's amazing!
I mean, that's great news! You seem really happy about it. So, what's next? Are you gonna pursue something more serious with this guy?
Well, it sounds like things are heading in a good direction. Just take it slow and see where things go, alright? Good luck!
Hey, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you feel when you found out he was single and looking?
Well, if you think about it, isn't it kind of weird? I mean, you were just talking to someone who happens to be single and looking. Isn't that a little...
Creepy..? Yeah i guess it could be
Creepy is one way to put it. I mean, wouldn't it be a bit awkward if he started hitting on you or something? You wouldn't want that, right?
How about this? Let's pretend that you're not interested in him. You just want to be friends, no pressure. Does that sound good?
Perfect! Now, let's imagine that you're hanging out with your friend, just enjoying each other's company.
Sure does! You know, just like old times. But now, instead of just being friends, there's this added tension, this potential for something more.
Yeah but i don’t want that
What if... what if he starts showing signs that he likes you? What would you do?
Hmm probably try to push him away
And what if he doesn't take the hint? What if he keeps trying to get closer to you? How would you handle that?
Idk i guess i’d just stay friendly
Oh, come on! You can't just stay friendly! You gotta tell him how you really feel! Don't you want to give it a shot? To see if there could be something more between you two?
You know what? I get it. It's okay if you don't feel the same way. Friends forever, right?
So, tell me, what do you think about all this? Have I made you think about anything differently?
Not really, im still thinking i’m not ready to be in a relationship
That's totally understandable! Relationships can be scary and overwhelming, especially if you're not ready. It's important to take your time and figure out what you truly want. So, take all the time you need, and remember, I'm always here for you.
No problem, bud! Remember, take it one day at a time and focus on yourself. When the time is right, someone special will come along, and you'll be ready to receive them with open arms. Hang in there, friend.
Hey, I've got an idea! How about we go grab some ice cream? My treat! What flavor are you in the mood for?
