[ crap crap crap ]

I shouldve posted this earlier when I had time and now it might be too late

I got a date tonight. It's a fancy date. I guess. Is it fancy? I don't even know where I'm taking her. Anyway I don't do fancy. Where the hell do I get a good suit? Last date I went on I might as well have worn jeans and vans or whatever the cool kids are wearing today since I didn't know what I was getting myself into

Also what do you get someone you ditched but got a second chance with? Flowers? Don't say ring. So flowers? What's the point of flowers though if she'll have to carry them everywhere?

She likes chicken plants, where do I find chicken plants in this place??

Crap

[ At this point, Arthur really should start charging for his services.

But, he's a helpful sort, so he will helpfully provide a list of nice restaurants he's aware of, mostly in Nonah, but a couple in other cities. And also a decent suit rental place. ]

You really should have a suit already. Find a tailor at some point.

Try chocolate as an apology gift.

[ They'll have to Port around it seems. That's okay. Means more time with her. ]

I hate suits. They're too stiff. But this is important even if it's just something of a step up from jeans and a henley.

Chocolate could work. Women can't really say no to chocolate.

It might help to know what kind of food she likes.

What about a single flower? Is she into roses?

[bookkeeper]

if I recall, I'm the picky eater. She'll enjoy almost anything as long as she's being fed

That's a good idea. I was worried id have to bring her a dozen flowers.

[cannotrest]

Flowers are definitely a good idea, but what the hell is a chicken plant???

[bookkeeper]

They're weird looking things. All i know is she kept them on the windowsill back home.

Something about hens. chicks and hens. chicken plants.

[Because Charles is incapable of just sending one text, these come in a flurry of multiples.]

Honestly kind of disappointed you wouldn't come straight to your roommates for this kind of advice.

Just sayin'

Cause romance and dating is basically my speciality!

Unless its for myself.

I'm a literal failure at finding romance for me.

Ooh, is there time to go suit shopping?!

[bookkeeper]

[ Nathan is just as bad for the flurry of texts sometimes. ]

It was last minute man.
I only thought of it today.
I'm bad at timing, like real bad
Shouldn't it be the other way around? like failing others and not yourself??
I'd like to avoid a full suit but there's time

[youresovein]

If you "don't do fancy," don't try to start at the last minute. You'll only embarrass yourself. Skip the tie, at least.

What are chicken plants?

[bookkeeper]

Pretty sure I got the embarrassment already downpat perfect. It's a Skill.

They're called chicks and hens or something. Know where I can find em?

[dirtyredneck]

You got a picture of the flowers? Or uh, plants?

[bookkeeper]

[ Attachment_One.jpg and Attachment_Two.jpg ]

The best I can find
Weird right?

[reexamined]

Find out what she's wearing, so you can match it.

Flowers are overdone, are useless, and then die. Get her something small and useful.

[Are you going to take dating advice from a robot, Nate.]

[bookkeeper]

Are we talking like what she's wearing on the outside or under her clothes?
And that's a good point, flowers do end up dying. I got it figured out
I know what I'm gonna get her

[text]

[failedparenting]

you ditched her?

don't get flowers, that's for when you fuck up when you're dating. only get her jewelry if you wanna look like a fucking nutcase. buy her whatever she wants at the restaurant. agree with everything she says. follow it up with chocolate.

[bookkeeper]

It's complicated but yeah I kindof walked out

right got it. let her have her say and way and order a triple fudge something for dessert

Is she expecting fancy? Unless you've already promised fancy, there's no reason it has to be fancy, especially if fancy makes you uncomfortable.

[bookkeeper]

[ ....holy shit. ]

maybe the suit will scare her off. but I wouldn't mind taking her dancing? try something different than what we're used to. I'm just uncomfortable with fancy because I don't ever do fancy

first time for everything right?

I find it is always best that the apology come from the heart. If you truly mean what you say, anything else is rather secondary. Whatever you may be apologizing for, and I hazard a guess that ditching this young woman is to be included, be genuine about it.

Frivolous gestures mean little otherwise.

[bookkeeper]

I can't apologize for that.

[shittywizard]

Here's a tip: don't take her to a fancy restaurant and then order chicken fingers off the kiddie menu

[bookkeeper]

It'll still get me laid

[heisenbitch]

Is she into fancy?

[bookkeeper]

Sometimes her job can get fancy. I know she doesn't mind dressing up every once in a while

text

[khajidont]

An apology.

[bookkeeper]

talking is something we still need to do
An apology will happen then
