study the man from a distance. observe his habits. copy them. figure out what he does well with the chica and what she doesn’t like about him. after that, give him a grace period where you write threatening, untraceable letters about his newly limited future and give him time to say goodbye to his loved ones. you know his whereabouts at this time, so make a plan to find him at a time he’s alone and isolated and shoot him in the head. go to the funeral. you were distant friends in college — (cont
you didn’t go to his school per se, but his ultimate frisbee team invited locals to play with them on account of low attendance so you met on the field. Offer your condolences to the girl. Really get in there: profusely apologize for her loss, ask her what she misses about him and converse with her — you have the answers to the test because you know what she misses about him. She’ll be intrigued because you two seem to have a connection despite being essentially strangers. Offer to buy her (cont
A coffee if she ever wants to get her mind off of things and play a board game at the shop instead. She’ll hopefully take you up on this. Give her your number and ask her to text you so you have hers as well. If she doesn’t reach out to you, reach out to her. She should agree to meet at some point. After all, she likes you. (cont)
At the coffee shop, make a show of talking about the things you know she likes. Make her laugh too. Don’t be afraid to make tasteful jokes about grief in the wake of her boyfriend’s passing—most mature and socially conscious adults will find it endearing rather than offensive. If the coffee meetup goes well, invite her somewhere a little more intimate now that you’ve gotten to know each other. Maybe the beach, maybe a walk in a nature preserve. Doesn’t really matter. If she agrees, it’s (cont).
All barbecue chicken from there. Take a long walk together, whenever you two find the time. Confide in her that you lost a love once too. She committed suicide. Struggled with mental health. Your new girlie will think this is fate: God brought you two together. Get emotional about it, hopefully she’ll follow suit. As you walk, find a romantic spot: a cliffside on the beach, an open field in the woods. Sit down together and face her. “Do you think things happen for a reason?” you’ll ask. (Cont)
“Despite it all?” you continue. Before she answers, softly brush the hair on the side of her head with your fingers. “Sorry, you had a bug there.” She’ll laugh. Reach back out and softly tuck the hair in front of her ears back behind them. “I have to admit you look pretty good tonight. Not that i’m attracted to you or anything. Just aesthetically.” That was a joke. She’ll laugh. If you can, look at the side of her face until her eyes meet yours. Let it linger for a second before you look (cont
down and softly place your hand on hers. “I think everything happens for a reason,” you’ll say. If she doesn’t move her hand away, move your hand gently to the side of her face and look at her again. This time you’re initiating a kiss, if she’s into it. If things go well you invite her to your place and I’ll let you imagine how things go from there.
