hey

[wittingly]

so
what's up with you and Sam huh?
how's that going

[evocation]

which sam?
and what do you mean?

[wittingly]

Sammy D
Large Drake

You totally know what I mean

[evocation]

no, i don't

[wittingly]

Wait really?

[evocation]

if you're going to tell me he thinks i'm hot, i know that
everyone thinks i'm hot

[wittingly]

I mean obviously, that wasn't up for question
but
His heart thinks your heart is hot

[evocation]

what does that even mean?

[wittingly]

Well since the hilarious way isn't working
He likes you in a manner that exceeds surface level attraction
He is into you in a facet beyond the shallow
He's that special blend of infatuated with you & cares about you

[evocation]

no he isn't
why would he be?
we're just friends

[wittingly]

Yes he is
Why wouldn't he be?
And it usually starts with friendship, the two things are not mutually exclusive

[evocation]

sam doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do crushes

[wittingly]

He was basically my brother in law for the better part of a decade, I'm extremely confident in my hypothesis ma'am.

I think he wants to come off that way, but I think you'd be surprised.

[evocation]

he said he doesn't date

[Stop making her anxious!!]

[wittingly]

Did you ask him to date?

[evocation]

no, jesus
i'm not special enough to make a guy who doesn't do relationships crush on me like some teenager
my mom thought she was the exception, and look where that got her

[Is he tapping into her abandonment issues here? Maybe!]

[wittingly]

Alright so first of all let's get your self-esteem back up to where it should be because that self-deprecating shit is just bogus. You're amazing and you know it, mother fucker.

Second of all, like, yeah he's definitely never gonna call it dating because he's probably the only person here more emotionally constipated than me and you are. You guys are like those fainting goats that just kind of drop and play dead when anything spooks them, but you're in a hallway facing each other and every time anyone moves too fast you both just go BAHH and fall down

but

emotionally

[evocation]

translate, professor
and i'm not being self-deprecating

[wittingly]

What I'm saying is

No, you guys aren't teenagers. this shit works a little differently as adults with an unbelievable amount of emotional baggage and a fear of both intimacy and vulnerability. But seeing as I am now a relationship expert having been in One ever that has apparently died not with a bang but a whimper I think my assessment is pretty much unquestionable.

That one was a joke.

He cares about you, he's into you, he would never call it dating you but I think if you wanted it he'd stick around and have sex and love you and generally do all of the things a very invested person would.

And if you don't want that, I think he's pretty content just hanging back being really into you from a distance, being your friend, and pretending to just hit on you because that part is safe & light.

& I'm super curious what it is you're feeling about him.

[evocation]

i have both questions and comments

[wittingly]

this is the message wherein i appropriately prompt you to elaborate

[evocation]

1. are you basing all of this off of the version of sam you knew in the aerie?

2. saying he's going to fall in love with me is a huge leap

3. just because he thinks i'm hot and likes being around me doesn't mean he wants to date me
we had sex and we're best friends and i don't see you asking me to dinner

4. did you even talk to him before you talked to me?

[wittingly]

1. Nope, that just helped me understand him a little better

2. I'm saying he could, the potential is there

3. You keep saying date like it's gotta be this black and white thing, you can be with somebody without ever using the D word
We have dinner all the time, but there's a subtle difference

4. Hell no, no way. I'm not playing messenger or anything, I'm just pointing it out.

And also

still super curious about your feelings banyna

[evocation]

3. what does that even mean?

and i don't know
i haven't sat down and quizzed myself
