[It's quite frankly surprising how many questions and things regarding relationships tend to come out once there's no accountability attached; Descole's been watching this go down for the last two days, and kind of hating himself for the fact that he isn't immune to it.

He hates text, normally; he doesn't like the lack of tone involved, and he doesn't like being unable to read faces or gestures, either. However, in the spirit of anonymity...]


Since no one can tell who we are over this thing for the time being anyway, I suppose I'll bite. Forgive me for using this as a space for venting my own personal issues, but we all seem to like discussing feelings here, anyway.

[NOT. THAT. HE'S BITTER OR FEELING DUMB ABOUT THIS OR ANYTHING.]

How does one tell the difference between someone being interested, in the romantic sense, and someone being interested in you platonically?

And just to head a few sarcastic individuals off - yes, I know that I sound like I've lived under a rock since puberty hit. There's a reason this is being done now.

Generally there's some kind of signal.

Well, it's usually all in the body language. When to kiss them, when to hold their hand, when to stay ten feet away, it all depends on the body language. I've spent a long time watching.

Well that sucks. So, the goal for you is to make yourself more desirable. You gotta be confident, and suave. And get a suit. Suits are cool.

How do you usually start then? Like, do you use a pick up line or what? What's your play?

They work. 83% of the time.

But usually, it also depends on what play you use.

[83 is Barney's go to number. For reasons unknown]

You know, your play, your plan to get the girl. Like the "he's not coming" or the "Ted Mosby".

Well how else are you going to do it? I mean, there's a science to talking to girls, and if you want it to go right for you, you have to use some manipulation.
