In the next few days…

Have u really been reading Marie Claire Australia?

Yes!

You sound very happy and satisfied…

I am! I’m feeling way more confident about our dates! 🥰

Why?

Well… I think it gives me some topics of conversation to prepare…

But I don’t actually read Marie Claire that much anymore… I had just randomly flipped to that other article talking about the pubic hair Gen Z trends!

🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅 I know that… but you’re open to discussing these sorts of topics right? And it’s not only that. I feel like I’m learning about other general issues in Australian society…

True… yeah… you’ll get that from Marie Claire…

These are issues that you would care to talk briefly about on a date, right?

Possibly… depends on the specific issue but yes, maybe…

So that just helps to boost my confidence! If I’ve at least read about the issue in a womens magazine, then I feel like — now I know what issues, generally, might be of concern to Aussie women.

Generally…

Yes? And it just helps me to feel prepared for our dates…

We’re not going on Aussie daytime television, it doesn’t matter exactly all these issues in a women’s magazine, to bring up as topics of conversation for a date?! You can’t just tick it off a list or something…

I know… but my fear is an awkward silence between us…

You think we might reach that?

I hope NOT but I’ll also feel nervous — I’m going to feel less nervous if I am prepared with these topics and if I sense an awkward silence coming on then I just randomly select one of these topics in my memory to talk about with you and see if you really care or don’t care about that topic!

Sigh… I know, it makes sense to you… okay…

🥰🥰🥰 it really does make sense to me! I love you ❤️

I love you too… ❤️
