{borrowed/inspired by: nottome}


Let's face it. There are some pretty hot people out there. Ever pointed somebody out to your friends and say, I'd hit it?

Well now you have the chance to say it to their faces!
The rules of the game are simple:

1. Comment as your character. (One comment per character.)

2. Comment to others!!! Don't be shy!!!

3. Got a friend who's too shy? Post their character's name for them! They may or may not thank you for it.

4. IT'S FOR FUN, YOU GUYS. FUN!

It's not a fact you should bring up. I'm sure she knows it. They're more likely to understand that your life isn't all about them, and you may be busy saving the universe or inventing something.

If she knows it, why shouldn't I mention it? It doesn't go away when not mentioned, after all. I'd think most people could understand that. And if not, I could just tell them.

Re: unasked-for relationship advice time

It's the context. You're implying she's an unsuitable date due to her age. Telling people that fiddling around in a lab is more important than spending time with them usually doesn't go well.

Re: unasked-for relationship advice time

But isn't that true? Most people don't look for a large age gap in prospective dates. Personally I think there are more complicated problems involved, but that was the least... difficult to discuss. But it's often true. 'Fiddling around in a lab' can be the difference between there being an Earth or other world tomorrow or not.

That's kind of why you don't bring it up. Just say you're not interested. But we never talk anymore.

Lyle is so fighting a losing battle.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

She asked for clarification, I provided it. But we're talking right now!

So many headdesk icons in a row

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Try rereading the conversation and switching the roles. Imagine she brought up the fact that you're cybernetic after you flirted with her. But you're not listening.

You think he'd be used to it with his Brainy.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But I didn't flirt with her. ...any my nature is a valid concern. How am I not listening? I'm answering you, aren't I?

He knows better than to even try to help his Brainy

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

When you reject someone, you can hurt their feelings if you're not careful. And telling someone they're too old or not human enough is a criticism of them. They might feel insecure or hurt. Are you?

Point. At least this one has a chance of listening.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

....oh. But... it is still a valid concern. How else would you address something like that? What else would you call this?

The dead are better listeners.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

You don't. You just say "Sorry, I'm not interested." What does it matter why you don't want to date them? It's not as though she can become younger or you can become more organic. I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't call it a relationship!

Oh ouch. XD

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But she asked me! What do you suggest I say then? What? But we're not-- You're being confusing on purpose.

Really, he's ordering him about because his Brainy never would listen.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

She asked if there was something wrong with her having an interest in you. To which the answer is always "No, of course not." Welcome to the world of dating.

This one listens, he just doesn't understand.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But that's not necessarily going to be true of everyone. Are you saying I should lie? ...we're dating?

The effort is appreciated.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Well, if someone is being a creep, feel free. But otherwise, vagueness is your friend. It was a demonstration.

Despite all the headdesking Lyle's doing?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

I don't see why I just can't be honest with everyone. I thought people claimed they wanted that in potential partners. Oh. Why didn't you just say so?

At least there's the potential for progress.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Honest doesn't mean tactless. I thought it was obvious.

Small potiential, but it's there!

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

.....I have tact. How is any of that obvious?

Re: Small potiential, but it's there!

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to let someone down easy and remain their friend. I mentioned a phenomenon and then demonstrated it.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But we're not actually friends. You could have said it was a demonstration. I learned that much after the incident with the pulse cannon.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Well, now you can be. I was just kidding around. Stop pouting.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Apparently she's not interested in friends, only physical things. ....I'm not pouting.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Really? Interesting.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

....what do you mean 'interesting'?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

You don't seem like the type you'd propose for a one night stand.
