When you called a girl you liked you would have to talk to her dad, brother, sister, mom and her friend that was over in order to get to chat for a while. Had to have your game on point.
Discussion
Yes!
Then you would follow up the next morning with a hand written note folded up in secret teenage oragami and delivered to her in a privacy preserving underground of trusted classmates who would return her response to you before lunch time in order to orchestrate a meet up.
I told an exs sister “i loved her” cause i didn’t ask for my girlfriend lol
“Swiping” wasn’t the ultimate turn-down back then. You had to be a nice person IRL because more people knew you.
