I've got a question.

CONFIRM/DENY:

Horny (adj.) The state of having or possessing horns, somewhere on the person of someone or something.
Example: That big ol' rhinocerous right there? He's one horny guy.

P.S. Horn (n.) Not to be mistaken for a horned instrument. Think 👿 not 🎺
P.P.S. A rhinocerous or "rhino" for short is a mammal with thick skin and ivory tusks (horns) found in specific regions of my home world. For those of you who may not know what they are, here's a picture for reference. See what I mean? Big horny guys!

Thanks.

[He means it sincerely, even though his mind is going elsewhere.]

That helps.

[If he doesn't get what he wants naturally, well, perhaps he'll just become strong enough to take it by force.]

[Downside of text: he can't read expression or tone to pick up on those horrible thoughts, alas.]

You're welcome. I mean, I know it sucks when everyone else around you is dating or in love or something, but it doesn't last forever, especially when you're only what, eighteen?

[incelligent]

I just wish somebody would throw me a bone.

[ADKFLJ HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW THIS SOUNDS]

A little appreciation now and then would be nice.

[Yes, Lance. He is eighteen.]

[lifetothefullest]

It might help not to think of it that way. Instead of it being something based on appreciation, or someone taking pity on you, it's like making a friend; caring about each other and wanting to spend time together is the basis of any good romantic relationship.

That's something both sides have to want, and have to do their own parts to build. Sure, falling in love is something that can happen to you, but the rest of it has to be done by you.

[incelligent]

You make falling in love sound a lot like doin' homework.

[lifetothefullest]

It's a lot more fun than homework, but yeah, kind of.

People, and movies, and whatever tend to leave out that relationships really are a lot of work, but it's work that's totally worth it.

[incelligent]

I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

[Until some poor sap falls in love with him.

If he keeps going at this rate, it will never happen.

He'll die first.]

I thought the best kinds of relationships were supposed to feel easy.

I know, I know! Of course you've gotta be there for the other person through thick and thin, but that's the whole point. You should be able to count on 'em no matter what.

Right?

[It sounds innocent enough.]

[lifetothefullest]

Yeah, but that kind of trust doesn't come out of nowhere; you have to build it. After that is when you get to have the easy part, as long as that trust remains.

[And that's the tricky part, sometimes.]
