The client decided to bring his wife along for the whole afternoon

So here I am

Assigned with the task of keeping her busy and entertained

She's thankfully not half bad so far

My swing's definitely improved a bit since last year

Nowhere near Steven's skill though

You'd think he's trying to be competitive or something haha

Anyway

I'm mostly just drinking iced tea in the clubhouse with the wife

Nothing's changed

Kyle still barely talks to me

Even when we're in the same room

It's like I don't exist

The only time he acknowledges me is when he needs something

And even that's only when his father isn't available to do it instead

It's frustrating

I'm comforting myself by thinking this is better than him actively causing me trouble

It's been 8 years already

I don't know how much longer it's going to take

Anyway, I have to go now

Steven's waving me over

how're things moving with jenna today

did you finally get anywhere

you guys've been hanging out for a solid minute

is she just playing hard to get

or is she actually ignoring you for real

what kind of reasons is she giving you anyway

she should be running out of excuses by now right

she knows her stuff

girls with strict rules like her always pull this exact thing

they love having control

you just gotta keep pushing her

without looking desperate of course

won't do you any good to have another thing to hang over your head

plus desperation's a quick way to get cut off

but trust me

her type usually caves eventually

they just need to feel like they're in total control of the final decision

if she's anything like the others

once she feels like she makes the rules

she'll drop the attitude and agree

that's just part of the show

don't let it mess with your head

if you don't mind me giving advice

let her think she has all the control

she'll eventually start wondering why you're not chasing as hard

you just gotta outsmart her logic

so stick to that plan

let me know when she finally drops the act

I've got our table booked at the restaurant for 7 sharp

Needing to do your makeup is hardly "almost ready"

What's going on?

You usually have your face finished at least an hour before you leave the house

That boy only ever talks to you when he wants something from you

You should've just told him to order pizza

You're going out

He's 18

He can easily make his own dinner

Or at least get it delivered

You know that, right?

Just don't let his demands make you late

Go finish your makeup

Text me once you're actually walking out

i need space to think

is that so hard to understand?

or can you not help but be unreasonable?

a proper relationship requires patience and boundaries

do you even understand what i expect from a boyfriend?

my classes are demanding and my parents expect me to maintain my high grades

i can't afford any distractions in my schedule

it's exhausting dealing with you when you act like this

you act like your wants are the only things that matter

but i'm aware that but boys are rarely true to their word

you all just want one thing in the end

if anything, you have shown dedication

okay

we can date

language please

i will not tolerate any inappropriate behavior

my standards are non-negotiable

you need to understand that my morals come first before any relationship

if you cross a line or disrespect my boundaries, we're permanently done

is that understood?

now i have to study

i'll see you on Monday

took you long enough

glad she proved me wrong and didn't string you along until graduation

you've been chasing her since junior year

but what's the deal

she dropped the attitude at least right

she always acts like she's superior to everyone else

doubt she'd stop for anyone

so what are these rules

that already sounds exhausting

how far do you think she will go with you

is she going to let you do anything physical at all

you're in for a real test of patience

like getting a girlfriend is cool

but not if she treats you like a monk

you're 18

how long can you even last

i don't see this going well

sitting on a couch just holding hands gets boring quick

you gotta push the physical boundaries again soon

and be at least somewhat successful

otherwise you're just gonna be miserable

just letting you know it's gonna be a rough summer if she stays rigid

but congrats anyway
