Speaker 4: to help him out in a brand new textual healing
Speaker 4: next text you will healing textual? Is it different texting
Speaker 4: your mom versus texting your love interest? For some of us,
Speaker 4: we can take the same cues. Be polite, also playful,
Speaker 4: put funny over flirty?
Speaker 2: No no, no.
Speaker 4: More flirty first with your mom?
Speaker 2: None of it?
Speaker 4: Oh well, I agree. Nobody wants to be like bro,
Speaker 4: can you hurry up? And you're like, hold on a
Speaker 4: flirt with my mom? O, peach.
Speaker 1: Emotion send See it sounds just as bad as you say,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm being funny.
Speaker 2: With my mom.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The differences can be very subtle, a little tough
Speaker 4: to navigate, and that's where we can step in help
Speaker 4: with a little textual healing. The segment where we help
Speaker 4: a listener craft the perfect message to send to whoever
Speaker 4: they need for whatever unusual situation they find themselves.
Speaker 2: We're hanging up if they say they need help with
Speaker 2: their mom. Yeah.

Speaker 4: tender textual gratification with one of his love interests. Definitely
Speaker 4: not his mom, at least I hope not. His name
Speaker 4: is Mike, Mike, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 4: Nice. Brought to hear that he's in the Moms pro
Speaker 4: mom keep going, Jeff going on.
Speaker 2: The stuff or into the love into the lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about that. Who do you want help texting?
Speaker 7: I want him texting my friend Chloe?
Speaker 2: Oh you say friends?
Speaker 1: Tell you guys, is this one of those things where
Speaker 1: you're ready to make the jump from friendship to something
Speaker 1: more with Chloe?
Speaker 7: I mean I don't know. I don't know. I don't know,
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, I love that nervous energy.
Speaker 4: How long have you and Chloe been quote unquote friends,
Speaker 4: like sixty or seven years?
Speaker 2: And how long have you wanted more with Chloe?
Speaker 7: I don't know. We've always been friendly, but like I
Speaker 7: think from the beginning it was the full six or
Speaker 7: seven years, Like you got.
Speaker 5: To tell us a little more than I don't know,
Speaker 5: because we can't just text for that eight times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like what's the nature of the friendship been.
Speaker 7: Like yeah, yeah, I mean we've just always been pal
Speaker 7: and she's always been in relationships and okay.
Speaker 2: And your window has opened.
Speaker 7: Yes, it has. I just feel like she always has
Speaker 7: these like really handsome boyfriends, and like like a few
Speaker 7: months ago, we were at another friend's birthday and she
Speaker 7: basically just like talked to me in the corner like
Speaker 7: the whole time. And this has happened before, Like we
Speaker 7: always kind of wind up together in the corner of
Speaker 7: her room, and I.
Speaker 4: Feel like there's something there where she's not spending time
Speaker 4: with her boyfriend. She's specifically like to hang out with
Speaker 4: you instead. Yeah, yeah, well that's a good sign.
Speaker 1: See all I'm hearing is she has handsome ex boyfriends
Speaker 1: and that's what Matt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's an awesome girl and she's the one who
Speaker 7: breaks up with them because she's great.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 3: She's single now though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what happened? How did this come out? So that
Speaker 4: like now is the right time to make your move.
Speaker 7: It just is the first time I think since I've
Speaker 7: ever known her that she's like one hundred percent single.
Speaker 7: There's no situationship, there's no there's no other person, And
Speaker 7: I'm just wondering if it's the right time to be
Speaker 7: vulnerable and see if she'd be open to something. I
Speaker 7: just have no clue how to do that. Yeah, have you.
Speaker 2: Ever gotten any vibes or yeah, or any friends have
Speaker 2: said anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Chloe may feel the same about you.
Speaker 7: No one said anything. But it's just the thing I
Speaker 7: told you about the party, Like that. I have ten
Speaker 7: more examples of that where it's just there's no need
Speaker 7: for her to like be with me, Like she could
Speaker 7: be with her literal boyfriend, and it seems like she'd
Speaker 7: rather be with me. You know, I'm just a guy,
Speaker 7: but like I feel this attraction towards her, and I
Speaker 7: like This can't be one sided. This can't be it's
Speaker 7: just me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, you got to get a feeler out there
Speaker 5: to see if she likes you.
Speaker 4: Right, So, but I'm just wondering where in this puzzle
Speaker 4: piece does your mom come in?
Speaker 2: Leave the mom out?
Speaker 4: And there's no mother involvement whatsoever?
Speaker 7: No mom involvement.
Speaker 4: Okay, well that takes my area of expertise out of this.
Speaker 4: It's going to be more on Brook now to come
Speaker 4: up with something good to send your love interest.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, where have you left your
Speaker 1: last text with her? Because I say, yeah, you guys
Speaker 1: are friends, so you text. I mean, are you at
Speaker 1: a friendship level where you text individually or is it
Speaker 1: always group chats?
Speaker 7: No? No, like we'll send each other funny videos and
Speaker 7: stuff for like okay things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how do you move the relationship now from
Speaker 4: a friendship into a potential romance? That's what you're wondering
Speaker 4: to do via a text message. So let's start brainstorming.
Speaker 6: Let's just break the eyes with So you're single.
Speaker 4: Huh, alexis what do you have any ideas of what
Speaker 4: he should send?
Speaker 2: Okay, that was good, she said, inside joke.
Speaker 6: Oh that's vague.
Speaker 2: That's all I got.
Speaker 5: I send each other memes and videos. You may have
Speaker 5: an inside joke of something.
Speaker 7: I mean, they're so like circumstantial, you know, they like
Speaker 7: fade in. Yeah, no, no, okay, okay, we.
Speaker 6: Almost add something.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you bring up the fact that she's single,
Speaker 1: and it's like self deprecating, like, oh, you dropped another
Speaker 1: model boyfriend again.
Speaker 2: Huh, I hope he's not. He's not heartbroken, or you know,
Speaker 2: like something sarcastic.
Speaker 4: A lonely party of you.
Speaker 1: Now she's doing the breaking up, she's not heartbroken about it,
Speaker 1: so it's like back a compliment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could actually lead that into more like good
Speaker 5: thing you and me could never get together.
Speaker 6: I'm way too attractive for you. Something like that.
Speaker 4: Okay, but silly, playful like you would with your mom. Yes, god,
Speaker 4: I think I think.
Speaker 1: If we start by bringing up the fact that she's
Speaker 1: single right now, then it'll help us lead to.
Speaker 4: The mental Yeah, okay, go ahead towards that. Start typing,
Speaker 4: remind her that she's single.
Speaker 6: Mike woke up without a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, dropped another from I don't know, America's top model.
Speaker 4: What do you think about that? Mike?
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, that could work.
Speaker 4: I would start telling, Okay, hey, like heard you had
Speaker 4: to drop another beautiful model boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Another heartbroken gorgeous man out on the streets, laugh emoji.
Speaker 6: And ask if you're okay, but I know you're fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. You know if you're okay, but I
Speaker 2: know you're fine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like you're also being a good friend.
Speaker 7: Heard you had to drop another beautiful model boyfriend. What
Speaker 7: was the next thing.
Speaker 2: I'd ask if you're okay, but I know you're probably fine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then an emoji laughomol emoji.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd ask if you're okay, but I know you're
Speaker 7: probably fine, laugh emoji. Okay, got it, And.
Speaker 1: Then she can write back something sarcastic about how the
Speaker 1: hot ones are not always the smart ones or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or it causes a rift in your friendship because
Speaker 4: you accused her of being single. So we'll see how
Speaker 4: it goes.
Speaker 2: She dumped him, Jeff, Not all breakups are bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if you know that when they're
Speaker 4: beautiful model boy friends, I would think it hurts a
Speaker 4: little bit more.
Speaker 2: But she's going through them, dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we've sent that. We'll see if your friend
Speaker 4: Chloe responds, when we come back and we do more
Speaker 4: textual healing, non mom edition coming up, Why it's not
Speaker 4: mom we're doing right after this. Hold on, We're in
Speaker 4: the middle of textual healing with our overly talkative listener, Mike,
Speaker 4: who would just not shut up about his longtime friend Chloe,
Speaker 4: who he's hoping to become more than just friends with
Speaker 4: now that she's finally single and moved on from her hunky,
Speaker 4: well endowed model boyfriends. We didn't know that part, well,
Speaker 4: we can assume. So how do we get the friend
Speaker 4: ball rolling in the romantic direction? We suggested he start
Speaker 4: by first reminding her that she's single in a playful way,
Speaker 4: by saying, Wow, heard you had to drop another gorgeous
Speaker 4: model boyfriend. I'd ask if you're okay, but I know
Speaker 4: you're fine, laugh EMOCHI. Yes, yeah, so we sent that
Speaker 4: a little while ago. Has she responded yet, Mike?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she actually did.
Speaker 1: Oh I can never tell if you're excited, Mike, like
Speaker 1: what your emotions are?
Speaker 4: You're just so nervous right now or whatever medications you're on,
Speaker 4: they're totally working. But she wrote back, What did she say?
Speaker 7: She said? Yep, I guess I need to go to
Speaker 7: the GQ store at the mall and find another.
Speaker 4: Another model boyfriend.
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: What if you rote back and said, but have you
Speaker 1: ever tried the boot Barn?
Speaker 2: And that's where we go on to say that I'm
Speaker 2: the guy at the boot Bar.
Speaker 4: Do we have to go all the way to the
Speaker 4: basement from the models all the way down to like
Speaker 4: backwater about the middle the gap? Yeah, okay, cope, you're
Speaker 4: not getting offended by any of this?
Speaker 7: No, no, no, all right, so like we're going with
Speaker 7: boot Barn or the Rack.
Speaker 6: Wait, don't like us, literally, we're kind of kidding here.
Speaker 6: I wasn't.
Speaker 4: I'm actually supporting brooks idea a little bit here because
Speaker 4: the humors there, it's still a little flirty, playful, okay,
Speaker 4: and the insinuation is look at me.
Speaker 1: This is what I think you should say. But have
Speaker 1: you ever tried shopping at the boot Barn? I'm still
Speaker 1: a boot Barn. I think it's funnier.
Speaker 4: But whatever, the rack, whatever, slow class store you want
Speaker 4: to refer to yourself as put that in.
Speaker 2: She still kind of likes though, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like make it a good one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I do like boot Barn. So okay, I am,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say boob barn he likes.
Speaker 4: The question is, do you think that she'll one hundred
Speaker 4: percent understand the subtle messaging that he's trying to put
Speaker 4: out there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, are best friends and they have humor.
Speaker 1: She's dropping hot boys because she's emotionally intelligent.
Speaker 2: Okay, she gets it. She's the one that brought up
Speaker 2: the GQ store.
Speaker 4: Okay, funny, all right, cowboys. Send that boot barn text
Speaker 4: and see what she says.
Speaker 7: All right, someone say maybe you should try shopping at
Speaker 7: the boot barn and then boot emoji like that. Yeah,
Speaker 7: all right, send.
Speaker 5: She's gonna be like, great idea, I love cowboys, Yeah,
Speaker 5: darned idn't.
Speaker 4: Or she's just gonna go like at a wardrobe thing,
Speaker 4: like takes it too literally.
Speaker 1: We may need to then follow up immediately with saying
Speaker 1: that you're the option, right.
Speaker 3: Like question, yes, stories, back and forth, because the joke
Speaker 3: will go on for too long.
Speaker 1: Like now we've been playful. I think next we need
Speaker 1: to be direct.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and hopefully she just gets it and it's like,
Speaker 6: oh really, just.
Speaker 2: Say actually I would love to take you out on
Speaker 2: a date.
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, you guys. Hold on, hold on, she's
Speaker 7: okay what she say, I'm actually starting to realize the
Speaker 7: pretty ones aren't as pretty on the inside. Yeah. See,
Speaker 7: you're actually pretty boring eye roll. Yeah, more like a
Speaker 7: temporary cat toy. Play with them for a while till
Speaker 7: it gets old.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, I like her, like he's.
Speaker 4: Getting sick of the pretty boys. So she's looking for this.
Speaker 5: This is still just two friends talking, though, I mean,
Speaker 5: how do we get it to be a little more flirty?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think this is part of the
Speaker 1: more direct line, right because she's getting more serious right
Speaker 1: now in this in this tax exchange, we can drop
Speaker 1: the humor.
Speaker 2: Now, maybe just.
Speaker 5: Ask you said, drop the humor. Maybe it's like, have
Speaker 5: you ever considered dating a friend?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Literally, that's a general Oh Bill, I love it. Mike,
Speaker 4: what do you think?
Speaker 7: I'm scared? But let's yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4: I mean, Mike, I could tell by your emotions that
Speaker 4: you're super scared. You're all over the place. You got
Speaker 4: to calm down a little bit, we focus, Okay.
Speaker 2: Squirrely was that his big energy is that?
Speaker 4: It was kind of overwhelming, Mike, So let's temper that
Speaker 4: and write this message. What should he say, Jose, Just
Speaker 4: tell her?
Speaker 6: Have you ever considered dating a friend?
Speaker 4: And what about the guy shrugging emoji? Yeah that's playful.
Speaker 4: I don't think Yeah, okay, buff guys shrugging. There we go.

Speaker 6: You're talking about you?
Speaker 3: You have other hot friends in your group?
