anon post

[unknowntodeath]

it's been a while since we had an open anon forum for shit talking.

vent out your frustrations. tell us who you desire you can't possibly have. start ugly rumours.

if you go off anon, that's on you.

Yet you are focused on what you must do; not necessarily each other.

[ringsthatbind]

Not really, I have to be conscious of what she is doing as well as what I am doing to avoid hurting her. That's focusing on her instead of just myself.

[And there is a slip, using her instead of them.]

[politicallyinclined]

But you're not listening to her thoughts, are you? You're not sharing your own, either. Training is good, I'm not saying it isn't, but it won't help you decide how you feel about her.

[ringsthatbind]

Hrn, you make a good point. The problem is I'm not one for... Small talk.

[politicallyinclined]

I'm afraid that's the only way you will know her deeply. If you've already bonded as friends, it shouldn't be too difficult...?

[ringsthatbind]

[He almost types "we're not friends" but stops himself, because he has a hunch that would give him away.]

I'd like to figure this out without doing anything that may make her aware of what I am doing? If that makes sense.

[politicallyinclined]

I see. Are there any special occasions in the near future? Her birthday? Holidays you celebrate?

[ringsthatbind]

We did spend Christmas together, and I do not know when her birthday is. And I'm not a big holiday person either.

[politicallyinclined]

When is your birthday? You could take her out for horseback riding or sailing.

[ringsthatbind]

I don't have one.

[At least not one he remembers.]

[politicallyinclined]

(She is going to presume he simply doesn't know it.)

Then there are surely activities you can do together in your home? Sharing a book, perhaps?

[ringsthatbind]

Isn't that something one does with young children?

[politicallyinclined]

Not necessarily. It depends on the subject.

[ringsthatbind]

I see, I don't know if that would go well with her but it's something to consider.

[politicallyinclined]

Anything that interests you both could work. I wish you luck.

[ringsthatbind]

That might be hard to find but thank you.

[politicallyinclined]

But worthwhile nonetheless.
