If you carry on like this, you'll end up looking old like me. [There, a little Lu Meng joke.]

In all seriousness though, you'll be alright. It's hard to shake your doubts, and I don't know if you'll ever be able to let go of all of them, but I don't think anyone can avoid all uncertainties when considering to pursue a romance. Well, unless you're naive. But you're not, and that might actually help your relationship in the long-run.

Heh, maybe. But you do have a point about not becoming a stiff old man.

[Voice of doubt, but there's a genuine pulse of gratitude with that little tease back.]

Thanks Lu Meng. Sorry for bothering you about this. I know it's not something you'd really be interested in.

[young_oldman]

You're right; I don't like love or romance much.

But it is always in my interests when my friend comes to me for help. I know I might get a little cross, but please don't hesitate to speak with me if you need it.

Honestly you're the only one I can even go to about this kind of stuff. Unlike my other friends who would probably show pity or something.

Maybe I do see you like something of a father figure.
