And like every time the conversation shifted,like it always just circled back to the way I looked.Speaker 2 (03:12):Okay. I don’t know.Speaker 3 (03:14):I don’t know.Speaker 1 (03:15):Well, this, all right, this is kind of an easy one.So he just kind of was, was he creepy about it?Speaker 3 (03:20):He kind of creeped me out about it.Speaker 2 (03:22):I feel.

Hi. Yeah, I did. But thatwas on purpose. Like, I was nervous. I really liked you.And I just, I got like some, I guess nowin hindsight, some stupid advice from my buddy. He was like,(04:06):if you like her, just keep complimenting her. If youget nervous, women love that. And I was like, peoplelove that? That makes sense, but.Speaker 3 (04:15):Sure. Like, I feel like that’s fine. Like, he was, like,kind of right. And, like, compliments are great. But, like,you know, too many of them, like, especially physical ones,start to feel, like, kind of off. And I don’t know.You start to not come off as confident. You startto come off as, like, somebody who’s kind of tryingtoo hard or, like, creepy. Gotcha.Speaker 2 (04:39):Okay. No, I totally get that. You know, I honestlydidn’t mean anything in that way. I was just tryingto show interest.Speaker 1 (04:46):We’re teetering on the ick right now, but let’s seeif we can… Vanessa, your thoughts. Sorry, he’s trying.Speaker 3 (04:52):Yeah, I get that. I totally get that, that hewas trying. And this is why I didn’t, like, fullywrite him off.Speaker 1 (04:57):Did you have a good time, though?Speaker 3 (05:00):Yes, I had a good time, and he is sweet. Okay. So,I don’t know, like, maybe just, like, dial it back,I feel. Like, spread it out. Like, compliment maybe somethingelse other than my legs would be nice.Speaker 2 (05:12):Okay.Speaker 1 (05:13):What else you got, Derek? What else you got?Speaker 2 (05:15):I mean, her smile is beautiful.Speaker 1 (05:18):That’s still physical. Keep trying.Speaker 2 (05:21):I’ll compliment in person something else, but there’s still a shot.So you’re telling me there’s a chance.Speaker 3 (05:30):I mean, yeah, there’s a shot. Just like, you know,just kind of leave your friend’s advice at home andjust like come be normal.
