Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

[This is still pretty funny.]

Okay, well the first thing you should know is I don't always make the first move. It's more interesting when you "catch their eye" and they come to you first instead.

So the real key is to make them interested in you—not showing that you are interested in them. At least not so easily or right away. It's more of a teasing kind of thing.

[Which. This girl is probably the type who can do it, it's just she would do it without realizing it.]

[miraculo]

[ Soooo. It's not about telling your feelings right away. She never would have guessed! ] A 'game', is it...?


That sounds really complicated. And I still haven't figured out what you like to do!

[opportunitycosts]

It's definitely a game and only a few know how to master it. [Wink and a grin.]

And if you want to know that, you should try figuring it out.

[miraculo]

So... I wouldn't ask you what kind of scarf you like-- but I'd ask if you'd like to go shopping. Is that it?

[opportunitycosts]

There you go! Now you're starting to get creative.

The direct approach can work, but the more general and roundabout you go, the more you might notice or learn that you might not have gotten from a straight answer.

[miraculo]

[ Yatta! ]


Then.... [ Clears her throat, and smiles. ] Would you like to go shopping together, Alvin?

[ Sooo subtle. ]

[opportunitycosts]

...You know this would be more effective if you didn't do this right after you suggest it.

[But he laughs.]

But all right. We'll consider this an exercise for you.

[miraculo]

[ Maybe he'll feel some excited tingling sensation from over the network. That would be Sanae. ] Are you doing anything tomorrow? In the early afternoon--

[opportunitycosts]

[Oh he can feel it. ...Still weird, but he feels it.]

Tomorrow early afternoon? [He actually has to think since he does run a business.]

I think I can take an extended lunch break. Not like they need me there all the time.

Meet me at the Hearth? [Yep, he just shortens his restaurant to "the Hearth."]

[miraculo]

Yes! I'll be there around.. oh, one? [ Sounds good to her, yes.



..... ] Ahh...! I got to prepare right now! I'll talk to you later--! [ Because she has to look her best if she wants to find out if he's interested or make him interested in a date or whatever!! ]
