Background: I have never flirted with this girl before. We just knew each other from work (we were ESL tutors at an after-school academy for kids) a long time ago. We barely ever spoke so we were not close in any way. Notice the flow of the conversation, where I take “risks” where you normally wouldn’t take, and how I make it feel like we’ve always been close even though we weren’t.
Mike: HBD!
Jennifer: thank you Mike!!
Mike: hows life
Jennifer: all fine~ im taking a break at the moment
gna travel to hk in two weeks 🙂
Mike: cool! and everything still peachy with nathan?
i havent talked to him in forever too
Jennifer: ohh broke up in august

Jennifer: lolz
Mike: i guess that means im allowed to flirt with you and tell u that ur pretty without consequence!
Jennifer: hahahaha thank you for the compliment
Mike: ur welcome
Jennifer:how are things going for u

Mike: ok next time we meet were gonna have a drink or 2…or 7…and i need to see your canada come out
EHs and all
Jennifer: sureee lets go
Mike: what is your favorite drink
Jennifer: god father
Mike: ….holy shit
i am speechless
Jennifer: cant drink much tho
but I still like the taste of it
last time kiana ordered 3 long island for me saying its a soda
Mike: i dont know what to believe anymore
Jennifer: and I couldnt even recognize jade
kept saying that girls dancing with another man
Mike: “cant drink too much” and “my favorite drink is godfather” whaaaaat
Jennifer: hahahaha 1 glass of godfather and pass out
woohoo
Mike: like im trying to come up with an analogy like
oh i hate eating but i love buffets
but nothing works as well as what u already said
Jennifer: hahahahahahhaa
wow im sharing too much information
Mike: i love it
share more haha
Jennifer : lolz
Mike : but wow i dont know whether to be impressed or
just stay confused
you are a lot more interesting than i thought haha
Jennifer: nah
im just Austins teacher
hahahahah
Mike: that name sounds so familiar…
Jennifer: miss that kid so bad
the tall old one with weird accent
my 630 class thr two kids
Mike : lol do u really think i would remember!
Jennifer : :'(
how could u not
Mike : i dont give a damn about YOUR kids cuz mine are the only special ones haha
Jennifer: austin will be disappointed
Mike: my kids could beat your kids butts
Jennifer: :'( so sad
Mike: Roy will conquer them all
Jennifer: hahah
Mike: there were some of Jade’s kids that i was really fond of cuz they grew on me when i taught them for friday classes but im also having trouble remembering their names too…
but i think thats just cuz im generally not good with names
Jennifer: whats mine
Mike: Anus
Jennifer: wow
nice
Mike: lolololololololol
Jennifer: lol
Mike: well i cant make fun of you for the EHs but this one is soooo much better
Jennifer: better or worse lol
Mike: but dont worry i wont call u that in public so no one will know the secret lol
Jennifer: hahahahha
THE secret
thank you for ur kindness sir
Mike: im very good at keeping secrets 😉
but i never lie
its a valuable combination of skills
Jennifer: dont understand but sounds appealing
should learn that skill from mike teacher
Mike: if u were my student that would probably be a very bad idea
Jennifer: would i fail teacher
Mike: only because you would make me think too many inappropriate thoughts
Jennifer: Im gna write all the ehs at the end of each sentence
lolz
Mike: doesnt help that you have a really really good fashion style too
Jennifer: realli
thnx
Mike: hm right i never told u
no reason to talk to u like that if u were 1. dating someone and 2. a coworker
yall doing workplace dating… usually not the best idea but ok lol
Jennifer: I agree
Mike: american (dunno if canadian too?) saying goes “dont shit where you eat” lol
Jennifer: lol
Mike: ive also heard “dont dip your pen in the company ink”
Jennifer: that Ive never heard of
what does it mean
Mike: basically “dont date/fuck your coworkers because that will lead to consequences”
Jennifer: oooh
Mike: so whyd u and nate break up anyway? u two seemed good together
if u dont mind me asking
Jennifer: were gd together but as any others do, we kept arguing over small stuff
and when we moved into my dads house I didnt like the way he behaved towards dad
maybe I was too korean in that way
he got a new job and was stressed at all times didnt wanna do anything but play comp games
I was getting pissed just watching tv all day long
:'(
im from canada
I need to skip around places and enjoy the nature lol
Mike: interesting that he moved into ur dads house
thats not a common occurance
Jennifer: my dads super openminded
hes like try everything bfore u die
Mike: cocaine is probably not a good thing to try…
Jennifer: and he thinks that the reason why korean divorce rate is so high is cuz they never lived together bfore they married
true no drugs
thatd be discouraged lolz
Mike: everything involving sex, yeah thatd be a good idea, but there’s loooots of things that arent worth trying at all haha
Jennifer: coming from ur own experiences sir?
lol
Mike: well ive never fucked a dude so maybe not haha
Jennifer: geez
thats sad
lol
Mike: because there are so many disappointed gay dudes i am not offering myself to?
lol
Jennifer: hahahahah exactly
Mike: this salvadorian gay guy was hitting on me at the mall last week…
he called me “bonito”…
spoke to me entirely in spanish…
Jennifer: whats bonito
Mike: usually it’s “bonita” which means “pretty” but u put “o” at the end of words to describe something male and “a” to describe something female
Jennifer: aha
Mike: didnt help that i understood most of what he said since he was using very simple spanish lol
my dumbass just had to say that i knew a little spanish
he would have just walked away if i said that i knew none haha
but i didnt catch that he was hitting on me until it was too late
Jennifer: haha
thats still part of ur popularity
so dont be too sad
Mike: lol
Jennifer: better to have them than haters
Mike: doesnt really do anything for me though because im actually very introverted believe it or not
Jennifer: hm
hard to believe
Mike: and when i say stuff like “hey jennifer lets party woohoo” i really mean “lets sit down and just chat over some drinks” hahaha
OR “hey i have to bring as many people as i can to this party to help out this promoter so please add your name to this guest list” lol
Jennifer: thats the exact def of partying
no worries
Mike: nah like i dont even like it when there’s 3 or more people lol
Jennifer: oh realli haha
Mike: too distracting
i like to focus on like one person
that aint no party lol
Jennifer: private partaying
Mike: hey jennifer lets have a private party woohoo
but that sounds dirty 😉
Jennifer: hahahahah
