you and say, you know, you imagine it would have
been great. Oh my god. I didn't realize girls were
more insecure than I was.

I would be terrified to say something, just.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Stare at her, like the did you pass notes to him?

hands because we sort of walked to school sort of together,
and we talk and then eventually, you know, she was
just my girlfriend. I don't even remember how that happened,
how it happened. It was cool situation, yeah, But again
I don't remember if I kissed her or anything. We
might have shared a peck, because.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You immediately go to another girl and say she's your girlfriend.

and he knows nobody at the school, and so I
feel bad for him, you know, I'm just keep telling him.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But he's got that mysterious vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Dude, Dude, it's funny that you say that because he was,
you know, always concerned. I'm always concerned about lunch, Like, hey,

of the days he sat at the table by himself,
and I was like, oh man, But then a group
of girls went over and asked to sit with him.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
See when you're the deal, though, when you're good looking,
you get privileges. So like I wasn't a good looking kid,
especially at jack Sage Acne. I was skinny, very skinny. Luckily,
I I mean I could say these things. We're wearing
a bow tie, I was. I wasn't dude, I wasn't
wear I wasn't wearing both. Luckily, I was a really athletic,
(06:09):
so I was just I was good sports. So that
gave me my popularity. So I was sitting with my buddies.
But if I was by myself because I was ugly.
No one's coming up to the table. If you're good looking,
it gives you privileges.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So dagle girls go sit down next to him and
tell him we think you're cute. You have pretty eyes.
And so I said, holy ship, that's for you, and said,
well what would you say? He does no thing, Well,
don't do that. Just sat there in his turkey and cheese,
and he smiled at it, you know, and cheese. What

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh cool guy, I don't even need.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Whatever. So he's in with the group of girls. No

This was one on one situation. He said they were
walking to pe and there was a girl who's in
one of his classes started walking with him, and she
blatantly tells him, I like you, I think you're cute.

to not cute girls because that sucks, and he goes
he goes, yeah, I mean, which tells me she probably
is cute because he's again he's still figuring things out.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Also, I don't know what his self esteem is like,
but mine at that age wasn't spectacular. So if a
girl came up to me and said that, I immediately
think she was like making fun of you, she's making
fun of me, or like something. They're like joking around
with somebody else. That was just goes to go through
my head.

little bit, And I go, well, what do you mean?
