Thanks for asking!

Here's one for Elliott.

Hey!

This should now be fixed! For some reason it threw an error because it somehow had 2 unique views for some bizarre reason.

THE CHOSEN TEN |

@jones7659 I can’t believe you daughter is fifteen now! That’s so awesome! :D Also, how sweet that you found your husband without having to wade through a bunch of losers and players first. Can’t say that I’m not jealous, lol. But yeah, life is short, and it only gets shorter. Even if this turns out to be nothing, at least I got to have some fun. Anyway, thank you for your encouragement. ♥

@muses-circle Reply #1: You called me adorable, and now I can’t stop blushing. XD But really, I am so grateful for your support. You’re right, too. I should try not to be so concerned about getting in over my head with this guy. He’s cool, and he seems to like me in spite of myself. That’s what matters here, and I need to stop psyching myself out wondering what he could possibly see in me. Although I still don’t know what he could possibly see in me. Regardless, I am going to try. Today was a snow day here so I didn’t have work, but if I make it into the office tomorrow I might go visit him again. Maybe. I don’t want to seem desperate, though, so maybe not. Why is this so hard?! XD

@muses-circle Reply #2: *hugs back* How are you so wonderful?! ;-; I’m glad he apologized, but at the same time it really wasn’t necessary. I was giggling and flirting and enjoying his attention... right up until he almost kissed me. But he truly didn’t do anything wrong. I should not have encouraged him when I wasn’t sure how I felt about the situation. I think that’s why it was so freakin’ awkward.

@amuhav Yeah, going in casual is precisely how I want to approach it, but I’m terrified of falling for a person who doesn’t feel the same way about me. I don’t handle rejection well, lol. Still, that’s no reason to avoid him, right? I mean, I can’t let my fears dictate my decisions. Also, you make an excellent point about “hot” people, one that I hadn’t considered before. I still get the feeling that he’s interested in me more for sex than a relationship, but the fact that he’s so incredibly attractive may be coloring my perceptions. And that’s not fair. Anyway, thank you for replying! *hugs*

@opsims I laughed so hard at your comment that I think I actually snorted. Out loud. In public. But it was so worth it, ROFL! Thank you for the laugh! :D

@hunterthewriterworld I have been beating myself up about that (almost) kiss practically since the moment it happened. I feel like the world’s biggest loser. I mean, what are the odds that a man will try to kiss the same person twice? It’s like that old proverb, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” He is not a fool, so... sigh. But anyway, your comments have been such a comfort to me. Thank you for your kindness. <3

@pudding-parade Oh, how I wish that were true! But he did see it as a straight up, flat out rejection. I’m sure of it. :( Nevertheless, I am still holding on to a faint glimmer of hope. Like you said, he may have noticed how nervous I was and realized that things were just moving too quickly for me. I hope so anyway. And yes, the fact that we were just hanging out in his office, that (almost) kiss took me by complete surprise! Admittedly he kept flirting and inching closer to me, but I didn’t think he’d risk something as intimate as a first kiss when we could have been interrupted at any moment.

@sweetpyxels You are amazing. Thank you so much for your advice. Half of me wishes that he would ask me out on a “proper” date (not just office lunches, lol), but the other half of my brain thinks that that would be a huge mistake. I’m not sure I’m even allowed to date him, and I don’t want to lose my job. (I mean, I don’t think there are any rules against it, but my boss is very, very strict and very, very old-fashioned.) But more than that, what if I actually fall for him? A little flirting is easy to shrug off, but a real date? Yikes. Anyway, thanks for listening to me. I really appreciate it!

@wannabecatwriter *hugs* You are the sweetest person! You always say something that makes me feel so much better. I probably shouldn’t be glad about this, but you telling me that my situation is relatable... I don’t feel so alone now. So thank you. ♥

@nornities Thank you. I really, really appreciate your advice. I must admit that it did seem incredibly forward of him to try and kiss me in that situation, and it does concern me. As you mentioned, he’s probably used to getting exactly what he wants, especially regarding women, and that does not bode well. I will have to keep it in mind for sure. I don’t want a broken heart.

@mysimsloveaffair Aw! *blush* To be fair, he asked me to stop by. I almost didn’t, but I wanted to see him again so badly. I am my own worst enemy, lol.

@simlicious You give the best advice! So thoughtful and supportive and kind. Thank you. ♥ I’m glad that you think it was okay for me to take a step back. That makes me feel a bit better, although I must confess that I am still beating myself up about it and wondering what it would be like to kiss him. I am such a mess, lol. Also, your comment about the importance of sharing my feelings and insecurities really resonated with me. I just... I don’t know how. I don’t want him to get the idea that I’m expecting anything serious to come out of this, but he deserves to know that I’m not exactly an easy person to date. :/

@lilidebergerac I am so flattered! Thank you! I felt anything but cute after that (almost) kiss though. He just looked so ashamed and embarrassed. It was mortifying. I hope tries again someday, but I don’t think that he will. I’m sure this man has his choice of women, so why would he bother chasing the one who flirts with him and then rejects him for no good reason? :( :( :( I need a real life time machine, lol.

@curmudgeonness Aw, Rob! ;-; You’re too sweet! Thank you so, so much for your comment. I cherish our friendship (you’re one of my longest/oldest mutuals on here), and your support means the world to me. But yeah, you’re right. I’m not in a rush, but it does make me wonder if perhaps he is. And if so, why? Ugh, now I’m back to questioning his intentions again. When did life become so damn complicated. XD

@batsheba Okay, what an awesome word!!! As for asking him out, though, please don’t think less of me, but I’m not sure I have the courage to do it. What if he says no? D: But I will think about it. Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement. You are amazing. <3

For Elodie:

are they an affectionate person?  how do they feel about pda?

are they good at explaining things to others?

what’s their favorite dish to cook?  favorite dish to order out?

describe their dream home.  looks, location, decorations, etc.

I wanted you to struggle Aimee hehehhhhehe thank you my lovely <3 <3 tbh i almost forgot i asked these WHOOPS

are they an affectionate person?  how do they feel about pda?

elodie is a veryyyy affectionate person. she's almost always holding eli's hand when they're out and about and the same usually goes with her friends. she prefers to stay close and show her love through touching. she doesnt mind pda, but prefers herself to not like, for example, kiss eli in front of everyone. she likes it to be more of a private thing.

“Oh really,” an amused voice said behind him.

“Yeah really,” he asserted, turning to look up at the stranger.

“If I were a genie what would you have wished for?” the stranger asked with a knowing grin on his face.
