Yo! It's your favorite Taichi Nanao. (Formerly ~wanwan! I'm going for a cooler image!) I hope everyone's happy and healthy. It looks like Iris is starting. Good luck, Irises... there sure are so many cute people going around this time of the month.

I need a little help!

What are everyone's favorite pick-up lines? Giving or receiving. Let's hear them!

Comments

[juniorchampion]

That sounds like too much work. Instead of trying to make it a horsefie, just put a camera on them like they did with the cats.

You say it's different, but you're not making sense! You can't be confident and then say being yourself isn't a way to pick up somebody!

Maybe you're really bad at the approach. What are you doing now?

[arf]

Is it really Instablam for horses then?

[ watch him He knows what Yuri says makes sense in some ways but.. ]

I'm confident I'm aware it hasn't worked so far!

Well, the last time I tried I folded a napkin into an origami rose and said she deserved something nice! Then said I didn't have time to get real flowers before her shift was over, so if she gave me her number I would definitely meet up to give her real ones! Except she was actually a dude in a dress and he said he wasn't interested...

[ Taichi doesn't think he really would've.. minded all that much either way. It was a rejection before he even figured out he was a he though.. ]

[juniorchampion]

They're not going to ban horses from using the same thing we use. It might make people use it more.

That's corny as hell, but some saps buy into that.

[ Yuri, who is as experienced as Taichi with even less in regard to asking someone out, isn't an expert, but he can imagine hearing someone gabbing about how they received the request. ]

Maybe the guy just wasn't gay.

[arf]

Who said anything about banning them!?

Maybe! But it's not like it was my first time trying total... ┐('～`;)┌ That was just an example of the last time I tried!

Also I don't think I'm gay either?

[ Taichi doesn't know what he is... He's never actively thought about it?????? ]

[juniorchampion]

Nobody so they can just use the same programs we use.

If you're going to use an example of a time you hit on a guy that might not be gay when you're not gay yourself, of course I'm going to think that's going to be the problem. Why are you even counting that? If he's not going to be into guys, it's not going to matter what guy hits on him. If he accepted, then you'd be in a weird position of having to tell him you thought he was a girl.

How do you make that kind of mistake, anyway?

[ JJ might tease Yuri about it, but that's because JJ's an ass. ]

[arf]

[ Taichi got confused at some point so now he's just going to leave it. He just wants the horses to take selfies and he's not sure why at this point. ]

It's about the method, the method! I'm just telling you because that's the most recent thing I tried! It's not like I would try the same thing with every single girl! That'd be weird!

He was really pretty! In a really cute dress at a cafe!

[juniorchampion]

Then don't use such a bad example.

Go back once. When you asked somebody that might actually like boys.

[ If Taichi is into that kind of thing, Yuri's not going to comment on the crossdresing. ]

[arf]

Well I don't have a better one, I thought that was pretty smooth. I was prepared to succeed for once!

I asked a girl in my class if she maybe thought I was cute and she asked me for Ban-chan's phone number.

[juniorchampion]

I'm saying that if they're into the sappy shit, it probably would have. You asked a straight guy thinking he was a girl. It pisses people off when people don't even get they're a man.

[ JJ ]

It might have worked on a girl.

[arf]

He didn't seem mad, just confused!
I was confused too.
So I should try it again sometime?

[juniorchampion]

He was dressed like a girl. Why was he confused?

[ Says the person who just claimed a guy had pride and didn't want to be confused with the opposite gender. ]

With somebody who actually likes boys.

[arf]

I don't know.
I'll try!! It's not like I have any way of magically knowing!

[juniorchampion]

It's not that hard. You're not into guys so you'll be asking girls. Most real girls like guys.

Don't start by asking if they're girls.

[arf]

[ Does he only like girls? He doesn't even realize how ok he is with boys yet, so he makes no corrections. Sometimes you just wanna touch a dude's muscles or call them sexy?? He doesn't even think about it though. ]

Even I know not to ask that!

[juniorchampion]

[ Relationships of all kinds is very normalized in Yuri's world. Men being with men or women being with women is as worthy of comment as it would have been if the relationship was straight. If Taichi did like men, that'd be as easy to accept as the fact he seems to only like women. As aggressive as Yuri can be, he hasn't seen anything that would make the statement seem wrong. ]

Then just try it again with a girl you like.

[ Admittedly, if someone is into the masculine type, Taichi probably isn't their style, but a lot of women are into cute. Yuri falls into the 'pretty' category whether than 'handsome' and he has plenty of fans. Taichi's also not the most annoying person he's met so it's not like he doesn't stand a chance at finding a girlfriend. ]

[arf]

I don't have a particular girl I like.. that's why I want to get someone's interest. Meet-cutes happen in fiction a lot, but in real life you have to try to meet people with intent!

Though I definitely wouldn't say no to a meet-cute, hehe~! ❤︎

[juniorchampion]

Does this place have a dating app? They're usually pretty lame, but so is running into somebody and looking at them weird for two minutes.

[arf]

Yeah!
I got a bite once but it never happened...

[juniorchampion]

What happened with that one? Did you fail on the follow-through?

[arf]

Hm.. I think she went home? Or she's ghosting me. I didn't know her very well so it's not right to go asking the moon knights after her.

[ Masumi's the stalker, not him. If she isn't responding to him, then it's none of his business. ]

[juniorchampion]

[ Taichi doesn't know her that well. It makes it seem like he's dating very casually but in fairness, there's only so much you can know someone from a dating app. ]

I usually start practice pretty early. If you're going to work out your arms, you shouldn't do it alone.

[ They'd previously spoken about helping Taichi gain muscles. ]

We can meet at the gym.

[arf]

[ Due to the jump in conversation back to what they were talking about before, Taichi spends about 5 minutes trying to figure out what the metaphor is here.

Yuri is clearly going to train him on how to get girls. That is his conclusion. ]

Deal! Send me the address for your gym please!

[juniorchampion]

[ 1.) Be an ice skater
2.) Be good at it
3.) Show you're not interested

That's all that Yuri's done this far and it works better than he wants.

The next text contains the address. ]

Wear loose clothes and don't be late.

[arf]

[ Taichi is not capable of any of those three items. Maybe the first, casually. Number three is definitely impossible. ]

See you there!
