okay so i have some questions for the general public
which is you guys

first: if you sent someone to jail on their birthday but they probably forgave you should you be worried that they or a family member is gonna
i don't know
come after you
or something like that
not that it happened
but hypothetically i guess

second: anyone have any thoughts on being called "puppy"?
is it a compliment?
an insult?
i kind of need some outside opinions here

uhhh
yeah that's it
thanks

Ah. Is this coming from a romantic partner? It merely sounds like a fond petname.

Unless you don't like it...?

[grilletto]

well not like romantic romantic
we don't buy each other flowers or chocolates or anything
i'm just trying to figure out how i feel about it
it kind of feels like
i don't know
like something you'd call a kid

[noatic]

[Not...'romantic' romantic? So many questions, so little time...]

I see what you mean. I know that people use 'baby' as a petname for a partner, sometimes. I would assume this is a similar example, just taking your moonblessing into account.

If you don't like it, why not tell them? If they're a decent person they'll stop. But from what you've described, it sounds fond. Teasing, but fond.

[grilletto]

yeah but that's more like when you're dating
i've tried to tell her
them i don't like it but then somehow it gets turned around
and i get distracted by something
i'm a cool guy, i can't be a puppy
it'd mess with my image or something

[noatic]

Wait, you're not even dating? That's interesting.

[That...does add something of a complication. Apparently helping this anonymous man (...or boy, if she has to be honest...getting the vibes that it's definitely a younger man...) with his relationship problems is what she's doing with her afternoon! Why not.]

Well, do you like this girl? You know the way I mean.

[grilletto]

is it?
i thought it was kind of normal here
or at least i mean as normal as it can get

but i guess
i like her?
not like that i mean
mostly because i'm pretty sure that's not something she'd go for
and there's this asshole she hangs out with
almost all the time so i've asked her if they're dating
she always says no but it kind of sounds like they're dating
if that makes sense

[noatic]

It does, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you it doesn't sound frightfully over-complicated! So you and this girl who calls you 'puppy' aren't in a relationship, but she might be with this 'asshole'.

Have I got my head around it?

[grilletto]

yeah you've pretty much got it
it always sounds less complicated in my head
and then i try to type it out and it just looks like garbage

[noatic]

'Garbage' is a strong word, but I wouldn't exactly call it poetry, no.

So you don't like this girl in a romantic way, and she's clearly dating someone else. Might I suggest that you could be overthinking all this?

[grilletto]

okay i can accept that maybe i'm overthinking all of this
but think about it this way
what if i'm not?
