Re: Text: Aubrey/Lin
[Uuuuunfortunately, that's his sense of humor and it's difficult to pry an essential part of a person away from them.]
And also abruptly curt and cold, so I'll take that as an attempt to brush off further probing (ha) on the subject, likely from a mixture of both irritation toward me for making a rude joke and, you know, lack of actually being great. In which case, I have very few options by way of response. 1) Push regardless. 2) Accept dismissal and cease texting. 3) Accept dismissal of question, but introduce new topic of conversation (harmless options to consider: video games, pop culture, clothing, Pikachu; options to avoid: sex, feelings, drinking). 4) Accept dismissal and post gif. 5) Do not respond. 6) Do not actually respond, simply list options.
