WHAT DID SHE SAY??? GIVE US UPDATES
i’m so embarrassed 😭😭😭
i brought her cookies and didn’t plan to stay but i ended up staying the whole of lunch and we were just having our usual conversations. and somehow it came up in conversation that she had a student a few years ago who wrote her a love letter before he left ??? and she was like . that was kind of funny
and then i for some reason decided to come out with “i used to have such a crush on u in like first year “ ??? like ???? why would i do this ??? i made it clear to her that it was a “former “ crush tho
and she laughed and said she never noticed but she was flattered . and then just started talking about gillian anderson lol
and i was leaving i was like i’m so sorry for telling u that and she replied with its ok happens to all of us , see u next week ???
then got a uni acceptance so i sent her an email which she hasn’t replied to , but knowing her she’s probably sleeping and will reply on monday
not sure what to make of this tbh but not a bad thing ?? and she said the cookies were good so
I see a lot of you guys upset because you and your tc’s aren’t close. But I have a few ideas, because I have gotten somewhat close with mine.
This is just excuses to talk to them pretty much.
Make small talk. Whatever it is, smile or wave in the hallway, come up and make small talk after class.
Go to extra help/tutoring. This was the main thing that got me closer with K. This is mainly if you have trouble in the area of the subject, but it’s great one on one. You can talk A LOT.
Emails. “My Tc Is ToO sErIoUs” STILL EMAIL THEM. Sometimes if you have a question, email them! Could even throw in a few friendly words.
Try to make them laugh. Even if it’s not direct. I once told a joke to another girl and I just hear this small chuckle from across the room. And there K is, snickering at my joke. So try that!
Almost forgot that some of you do online schooling! Not to worry, sometimes try to muster the smallest question up and pm them!
Here’s something I’ve done before: sometimes K makes us just do certain questions for homework, and I did an extra one, just to make small talk. If that works, do it!
Compliment them! I would mainly compliment their outfit, but don’t be too exaggerated about it.
If you email them, always start off with “Hey (tc), I hope you’re doing great.” That gives off “I’m being friendly” vibes to them, so they’ll be friendly too!
Ideas!
“Hey! I don’t understand (question). Can you explain it please?”
“*insert witty remark that would make them laugh*”
“Hi, I think I left my (item) in here. Have you seen it?”
“I like your (item of clothing)!”
Feel free to think of more!
i can’t stop thinking about the fact that she asked me if i was “down” when i went to see her ??? i’m not depressed i’m just in love with you lmao
no i do this all the time 😭i feel like such a creep but i literally plan my routes round school to see her lmao
Every time i try to bump into my tc i never see him but then he bumps into me every time I'm not even remotely trying to find him
last class w her , got photos including a few of just us two🥺
February TC Challenge Day 3
3.) What kind of date do you think your TC(s) would love to go on the most? Where would you take them?
She gives off hiking/ forest vibes - maybe walking up to a lake and drinking wine and rowing across it, stargazing , that kind of thing
Travelling to some country we picked out at random
Or just a drive in movie
We need updates?! Did you meet her before going to uni?
ok so i know it’s been like 3 months sorry !!! but i did meet her and we just had a really long conversation , i don’t really remember the details of it
i’ve moved countries now but i’m coming home next week for a good while for christmas, i plan to see her at some point then
we have emailed pretty frequently since i moved and some of the stuff she sends me is so cute (also she’s started signing her emails with her first name and now her nickname 🥹)
when she says i can come see her to chat anytime 🥰🥰🥰🥰
