(23:18) what does that mean
(23:19) i’m your text door neighbour
(23:19) u know
(23:20) your number is one below mine
(23:21) um……….ok
(23:21) why did u message me though?
(23:21) my dear friend, density has brought me to you
(23:23) "wait a minute, don’t i know you from somewhere?"
(23:23) "im your density"
(23:24) wow. movie nerd much?
(23:24) i could say the same about you
(23:24) very good film though
(23:25) it is
(23:31) anyway whats your name
(23:34) um
(23:34) how do i know ur not some 50 y/o guy called doug texting me from his mum’s basement ???
(23:35) because i’m charming and delightful and any 50 y/o person called doug, such as yourself, should be honoured to have the privilege to talk to someone as wonderful as me
(23:36) wow.
(23:36) you can add humble to the list
(23:36) also i’ve been disowned. there is a -0% chance that i would ever be found in my dear old mum’s basement
(23:37) yikes
(23:37) yea
(23:37) back to topic, i need ur name
(23:38) why tho
(23:39) is simple human curiosity not enough????
(23:40) whats YOUR name then
(23:41) i asked first
(23:41) so?
(23:41) you're the one who’s so desperate for my life story
(23:43) fair point
(23:44) my friends call me padfoot
(23:44) what kind of name is padfoot?
(23:44) idk its stupid really
(23:45) my friend gave us these nicknames a few years ago and we never really grew out of them
(23:45) i’m padfoot, he’s prongs
(23:45) that’s kinda cute. I don’t have anything like that
(23:46) my friends call me by my name, but i’m reluctant to give it to you
(23:47) i can see the headlines now: “student killed by internet stranger after revealing name”
[+44xxxxxxxxx7 set their nickname to padfoot]
[padfoot set +44xxxxxxxxx6’s nickname to reluctant internet stranger]
(23:48) ahhh so you're a student
(23:50) shi t
(23:50) that doesn’t actually tell you anything about me though. i could be a mature student aged 50 doing an online course in my mother’s basement for all you know
