* @oswauld … “ on a date , you’ve got to tell them all the interesting stuff about you , because that’s what they’ll be interested in. “
❛ that right ? ❜ makes sense, he supposes. harlow hasn’t been on a date in a while ( more-so out of ‘ dearth of viable options ’ rather than anything else ), but it does seem like common sense. though it can always lean too far one way --- when they won’t stop talking about themselves, interesting or no, or perhaps when they say all the interesting parts up front, & then there’s little else to keep the conversation going. sometimes second dates PETER OUT EARLY for that exact reason. when you’ve said it all up top, what’s there to keep it going ? ❛ not really sure i’d start with ‘em all, me, but one or two’s a good start. ❜
harlow’s not even sure he has more than one or two interesting things about himself, actually. what is there ? dropped out of uni, runs a bakery, does music on the side. THREE THINGS. you have to be strategic when there’s so few of them ; drop them at just the right moment. he still hasn’t quite worked out how to do that properly. strategy has never been his strong suit. still, harlow leans forward, intrigued. ❛ go on, then. what’s all your interestin’ stuff, miss clara oswald ? ❜
