[1] Maybe I'm overcomplicating it a little by not just asking. But he's doing most of it. [2] I assume if he's hiding someone from me it's because he thinks I won't approve.

[1] π€ I do get the feeling that you're laughing at me despite that, darling. [2] They're normal. Just [...] polite, kind, thoughtful. All the normal things.

[...] [1] The tiniest bit. [2] It's sweet. How overprotective you are of him. [...] [3] That is all? What if they are [...] unremarkable? Irresponsible? A poor dresser?
empataManuel de la Rocha (Empath)Date: 2025-09-01 04:52 am (UTC)
[1] Was that terrible? Lo siento. [2] You want what is best for him. It is not a bad thing. But it is not so simple as Christian finding a nice boy, no? He knows that. [3] What is so bad about the direct approach?
frost_queenEmma Frost β White QueenDate: 2025-09-01 01:25 pm (UTC)
[1] Absolutely horrid actually. Apology accepted, though. [2] Am I overbearing? He's just sensitive, so I worry. [...] [3] Maybe direct is fine. I just don't want to have to pry it out of him, you know?
empataManuel de la Rocha (Empath)Date: 2025-09-01 02:04 pm (UTC)
[1] You are not overbearing. And you are not wrong to be overprotective. [2] He IS sensitive. [3] But in this case, asking him directly shows that you are giving him support while allowing him to figure it out for himself. No? So long as you do not press for too many details. [4] So when he's ready to talk, he can talk. [...] [5] Or you can drop by incidentally and read his mind. If he's being evasive, this is sure to be top of mind for him.

[1] Thank you. I am just looking out for him. [2] I suppose that's a sensible way to look at things. I'll ask him directly. [....] [3] Speaking of, have you called your sister yet?
frost_queenEmma Frost β White QueenDate: 2025-09-01 10:03 pm (UTC)
[...] [1] π€ Thank you. It really does mean a lot. [2] Of course, you'll hear all about it. [3] Well, that's a shame. It seems like you're relatively free right now. And it's not late there at all.
empataManuel de la Rocha (Empath)Date: 2025-09-01 10:13 pm (UTC)
[......] [1] I'm quite busy, actually. [2] These lesson plans are not going to prepare themselves and I've got a lot to do now that chemistry is falling to me too. [3] But I always make time to answer your texts; the confusion is understandable.

[1] You're nervous. It's understandable. [2] Sounds perfect. I'll tell you all about what Christian says then, too. [3] And if he is dating someone and he tells me we can stalk him on our phones.
no subject
[2] I do not think he will lie if you ask him directly.
[...]
[3] Cagey how?
no subject
[2] I called him Wednesday night and he didn't call me back until quite late with no real explanation. Time just 'got away from him.'
[3] And then today I asked him if I could come see him this evening and he said he was busy. Very vague about with what. He said he can maybe do Thursday. Maybe.
[4] Plus when I told him I wanted to take him to CafΓ© Boulud sometime soon he said he'd already been. He doesn't go those places by himself.
no subject
[2] Are you concerned he's chosen poorly?
no subject
[2] I assume if he's hiding someone from me it's because he thinks I won't approve.
no subject
[2] How high are your standards for his paramours?
no subject
[.....]
[2] Normal. He knows that.
no subject
[...]
[2] Explain them to me. Perhaps I can help you make sense of his apprehension.

[2] I'm not that overprotective.
[....]

[2] Let me know how it goes?

[3] I've been a little preoccupied.

[1] π€ Thank you. It really does mean a lot.

[2] You have an entire week.
no subject
[...]
[2] I will get to it when I can.
no subject
[2] Call Eva and I'll call Christian. Deal?
no subject
no subject
[...]
[2] Please? At least set a time to do it.
no subject
[......]
[2] I will set a time.
no subject
[2] And you know this is just because I love you, right?
no subject
[2] Y te amo.
[3] But it is no surprise to you that I am a coward, no?
[...]
[4] Tomorrow morning. Then we can go to brunch.
no subject
[2] Sounds perfect. I'll tell you all about what Christian says then, too.
[3] And if he is dating someone and he tells me we can stalk him on our phones.
no subject
Diplomatic of you.[...]
[1] We have a deal, then.
[2] Just a little stalking; as a treat.
no subject
[2] A well-deserved treat, for being very mature and asking Christian directly.
