Feels insincere is all. Most guys who talk about their chances with girls like that are complete douchebags. And she's important to me, so you can understand my concern.
then i'll be clear and lay your concerns to rest: it has nothing to do with how i see my chances with her i don't need 'luck' from somebody who doesn't mean it and i'm not so stupid that i can't see what you're trying to do
What are you talking about? You literally messaged me asking for advice and I gave you some? Now you're accusing me of being insincere. Pick a side, buddy.
you hinted at some kind of vague 'problem' she has then you immediately backtracked one message later do you really think i'd believe that wasn't deliberate? it's the oldest trick in the book
you KNOW what i mean don't treat me like i'm stupid and don't twist things around

she's important to me, too so you don't need to be concerned
When have I ever treated you like you were stupid? I literally gave you custom messages to decrypt. You're flipping out over me caring about my best friend.
[Ah yes, one order of Mad Hatter, coming right up. What a hot mess.]
[ But he also can't counter the other parts, because when Rumlow puts it like that, it does seem more innocent. So maybe he's starting to doubt that his own reaction was actually justified. ]
[ DON'T THROW YOUR BASEBALL SLANG AT HIM!! Though at least he can pick up on the meaning through context, even if he doesn't get the significance of left field. ]
i'm NOT i'm not crazy
[ He sends that before he can think better of it, and he looks at the screen with some mortification before he sends a follow-up to save face. ]
sorry i don't know why i lost my temper you were only trying to help
[ He doesn't fully believe it as he types it, but he doesn't fully think of it as a lie, either. He's just all kinds of uncertain. ]
