hi there anyone here?
Hi! How are you?
im good you? we meet again
Yeah that's right, we talked on Friday!
tall girl?
I have a pretty boring desk job from 1-5 Monday-Friday so I just get on while I'm at work and I'm on for  like 4 hours so I end up talking to a lot of the same people I guess!
oh, thats cool i didnt go to work today, and because of the time difference, i am usually only online when it is already night over here, and i talk for like 4 hours too Are you the asian with the italian friend? hiii did i lose you?
Sorry! I'm here! Nope I'm not the asian! What time is it there for you? Nigeria, right?
yep Nigeria its 10:20pm where are you from?
Oh okay so you're 7 hours ahead of Provo, UT I'm from Arkansas! The middle of nowhere
LOL are you tall girl?
Nope not the tall girl, I'm the engaged girl who waited through the mission?
i remember telling you that my friend is going to University of Central Arkansas.
Yes you did tell me that!
ohhhh...yeahhhh how you guys doing? You were the one that gave me hope, thanks for that.
Going good! Marriage planning is a little stressful though, haha How about you and your girl?
were good, really good
Oh sure, no problem! It's more possible than people think it is
yeah, marriage planning LOL, im sure you will all be happy at the end of the day.
That's awesome! How often do you get to see her? You mentioned she lived a while away
i see her like three times in a week I will see her tomorrow.
Oh cool, what awesome things do you guys like to do in a normal week?
we see a movie, work together, read a book together We could just take a walk sometimes and talk.
Sounds like you guys totally have a super strong relationship! Does she have any siblings?
yes, she has one brother Does your fiancee have any siblings? Sometimes,when the weather is cool and not too hot, we like to take walks and talk to each other.
Oh cool, younger or older? Yep, he has a younger sister who thinks I'm cool and a younger brother who kind of hates me...hopefully he changes his mind!
she has a yonger brother he is fourteen, and he is in the ninth grade why does his younger brother hate you? he will probably change his mind
And does he like you, or do you not know him very well? His younger brother is just a little grumpy, he has some disabilities and doesn't really like people so I guess I'm no exception!
YEah, he likes me a little bit, we are+ two guys, so sometimes i talk to him over the phone about clothes, shoes, video games just to try and bond with him  a little oh, i see. I guess he is trying to keep people away, how old is his younger brother.
That's awesome, is it a little hard to bond with him since you don't have any younger brothers or is it pretty normal since you're just guys anyway? Yep he's had some struggles, he's only 11 so he is still trying to figure out life and how to function and things like that.
it is kinda okay talking with him, i just speak about normal guy stuff, i have some experience with teenage boys, so i know how to get their attention he is 11? He will probably change his mind, soon he will figure out he doesnt have to hate people or stay away from them . hes just growing and still trying to figure out life
I guess it's a little easier since you're actually a guy and know the struggles that guys face, do you think that's why she gets along with your little sisters well? I'm sure he'll figure it out as he gets older and is a little more interested in interacting with people.
I guess, shes just really nice, so my sisters like her yes, he will. We just have to pray for him, so that heavenly father will guide and protect him.
That's true, it must be nice for them to have an older girl to look up to! I'm sure you're an awesome older brother but there is something nice about having someone your own gender who kind of gets what you are going through a little better.
Yeah, i guess so. I try to be the best brother i can be kinda wish i had an older brother or a little brother though
Do you spend a lot of time with your sisters?
that woulda been cool
Yeah I can totally see that, sorry you ended up with only sisters! I lucked out because I have plenty of brothers and sisters so I have lots of experience with both
i spend as much time as i can its all good, i dont regret it but having two sisters in the house and no guy to talk to is kinda hard sometimes like, i dont know how to talk to girls i have no experience, they scare me sometimes
That's cool, what do you guys usually do as siblings? Yeah no kidding, the first three kids in my family are girls and we drive our brother (kid #4) crazy just because we talk about different stuff and like different stuff and are more high-maintenance I guess, guys are usually a little more chill and a little less interested in clothes and dishes and stuff like that. Haha what do you mean you don't know how to talk to girls, you clearly are making it work really well with your girlfriend now! Why do you think girls are scary?
as siblings, we watch tv, play video games, play soccer, study, eat together and sometimes i just talk to them and i also help with homework Exactly, my sisters are a little more high maintenance, they drive me crazy all the time, they always complain about how I dress and that I don't match the colors well. I make it work with my girlfriend cause I am already comfortable around her, so I can easily talk to her, but I am trying to get myself out of my comfort zone and learn. I do not think girls are like scary scary, I just find it hard to easily relate with them and talk to them.
You sound like a really good older brother! Yeah they might drive you crazy and you might drive them crazy but what they'll remember is that you took the time to be with them and spend time with them and appreciate that they are people with their own lives and opinions. Also I'm sure they appreciated the free homework help! Ha yeah girls do care a little more about the matching part, you might not ever hear the end of that...is your girlfriend high maintenance or is she pretty chill? That's fair, guys and girls are pretty different because they have different personalities and struggles and personalities but I guess at the end of the day they're just people and people generally want the same things, like to be happy, to be successful, etc.
Yeah, i guess I am a good older brother, my youngest sister seems to love me a lot, though we fight sometimes cause she can be a little stubborn I like spending time with my sisters, though it gets annoying when they keep  bothering me to judge their singing contests, and I try my best not to hurt anyone's feelings I never hear the end of it, even my girlfriend bothers me about that, I am terrible at dressing up, that is why the color black is my favorite, I could wear black all day Yeah, we all just wanna be happy,successful and be able to spend the rest of our lives with the right person. Well, i would say my girlfriend is high maintenance
Yeah I'm sure you're a great older brother! And you still hang out with them even when they drive you crazy so that's the mark of a great sibling! Yep the struggle is real when you're not wearing clothes that match but luckily it's not that important, just a little bit important. People are people and it's easy to talk to and relate to anyone once you realize that and take the time to think about what makes you the same rather than what is different Oh really, why would you describe her as high-maintenance?
I try my best to be the best big brother i can be, hanging out with them sometimes is fun, especially when we are playing video games or board games Yeah, my sisters are always like "you cant wear a striped shirt on striped shorts, it does not look good" I honestly could be bothered, so i just let them pick out my clothes. Yeah, my girlfriend  and I have a lot in common, but we also have some different opinions about things. That is just how life is I guess.
And I'm sure they really appreciate all the time you spend with them! Way to be a good older brother! And that is kind of true, you can't really wear a striped shirt with striped shorts because the stripes don't match up but I guess in the end it's really your choice I don't think I would ever pick out clothes or outfits for my brothers or even comment on their wardrobe choices but I'd definitely think they looked funny if they made a weird fashion choice! However I am not an expert on what goes together and what doesn't, my general philosophy is "if I like it, I'll wear it" which works out okay for me
Yeah, they do. Thank you! *takes a bow*
And yep differences in relationships are super helpful because they help people complement each other and make a better whole together Yeah way to go!!
I have the exact same philosophy about clothes, if i like it, i just put it on, and most times I do not look too bad. yeah, its good to have differences in relationships..LOL
Yeah if you like something then why waste the time worrying about whether it matches or not? If it's awesome and you like it you want to wear it not matter what! For sure, it keeps it interesting....
YES, EXACTLY i would say my girlfriend is high maintenance cause she requires a lot of attention i guess
YES! Oh yeah that is definitely a good reason to call her high-maintenance. Is it hard to deal with? Would you describe yourself as high maintenance or much more chill?
shes quite picky sometimes, she takes her time to look good, and trust me, she always looks good, and she loves to be independent But i love that part of her. Its hard sometimes to deal with because she refuses to tell me how she feels sometimes or open up to me. but i deal with it anyways, cause I love her. Oh! sometimes she also pretty chilled
It can be hard to be open with people sometimes, it's one of the biggest things that causes problems in a relationship I guess, like in order for a relationship to grow you need to be vulnerable and open with each other but that can be really hard for independent people! Good for her by the way, we need more independent women!
Yeah, but she has started opening up to me, so i guess it is cool, and i am a really patient guy, so i dont let it get to me' it does sometimes though
Way to be patient, I'm sure she really really appreciates that you're willing to be patient with her even when it makes your life a little harder You being patient with her shows that you lover her more than the inconvenience she causes you
I am not high maintenance, i am pretty chilled, shes always talking about how we go great together cause shes kinda hot headed, and i am cool headed. Yeah, I do love her a lot.. shes a great person, and she makes me really happy so i am willing to be patient, it is getting better now though she talks to me more
That's good, someone has to be the chill one. I've found that there are some areas where I'm super high maintenance and he's chill to balance me out and then there's some stuf f he is particular about or high maintenance about but I'm not so I balance him out and so it works good, you need someone to even you out I guess
how would you describe yourself as high maintenance?
And that's good, I'm sure it'll continue to get better as you guys keep opening up to each other and talking about important things
yeah, we balance each other out Yes, it will. Thanks!
I'm pretty particular about a lot of stuff in my life I guess and when stuff doesn't go exactly as I want them to I kind of freak out so stuff has to be just so So that's pretty hard for him sometimes when I'm freaking out about stuff or something he's doing doesn't fit into my idea of things being "just so"
LOL, yeah i understand
But he definitely needs more couple time than I do, things are a little rough between us when he doesn't get enough consistent quality time with me every day So we each have stuff that we have to be patient with each other about
my girlfriend can be like that sometimes too
Yeah I don't know if that's a girl thing or just a thing that most people do but it manifests in girls more prominently or what
I have no idea, i guess its just one the things about being a human being, we all cant be perfect, we have flaws and make mistakes.
Yeah sadly we can't be perfect, it can be a little frustrating at times but that's part of mortality and learning how to grow and be Christlike and appreciate people
Yes, if we do not face trials and temptations, we cant really say were humans, we have to be Christlike and try our best to work towards perfection
Yep that's the only way that we are able to develop Christlike attributes and learn is through our interactions with other people and the trials and challenges that we face
exactly What are you doing right now?
Yep! Actually just getting ready to close down the office for the day so I should probably let you go! Thanks for talking, good luck with everything!
