Hey Seth! Good evening! How's your day been?

I’ve been good. How are you doing?

I’m doing well, thank you for asking.

How is your book coming along?

Thank you for asking. I’m making progress, but it’s slow going.

I understand that completely. A lot has happened in the past few days, sorry to ignore you.

No worries, I know you’re busy.

You look nice. I like the green dress.

Thank you. I thought it would match my eyes.

It does.

So, Seth, what are you looking forward to in life?

Maybe getting a better job one day, finish school

That’s great! What’s your best quality?

Well, I’d like to think I have empathy towards others.

Empathy is a great quality.

But it can be awkward when you must question what they want to hear.

Yeah, that can be tough.

So, I like to try and help people the best I can. Sometimes, though, I just have to help myself.

That’s true.

Chocolate and coffee are my go to’s

Ah, I love chocolate too.

What’s your favorite?

I like dark chocolate with mint or raspberry filling. What about yourself?

Coconut…the ones from the Whitman’s sampler

Those are delicious.

They are. I remember I received a small heart full of chocolate for Valentine’s Day. That was a long time ago.

That’s a nice memory.

Kind of…. I thought it would have evolved into something more.

I’m sorry to hear that.

I’m sorry for talking about past possible romances.

It’s okay. We all have our pasts. And hey, maybe next time we’ll find someone better suited for us.

Are you looking for someone?

Maybe...I’m open to meeting new people.

Oh, I see.

And if it leads to something more, then that’s great. But even if it doesn’t, it’s still worth it to connect with others.

What do you look in a potential suitor?

I appreciate honesty, kindness, loyalty, sense of humor, and intelligence.

Hey, that sounds like me.

Really?

I like to think so.

Well, I hope we can keep talking.

Ah, so friend zone, right?

Hey, we don’t have to be lovers to be friends.

That is true…. but I thought we were. We had all those times.

Times change. People change.

I suppose they do. So…how was your day?

Pretty good. How about yours?

It was okay up until now, but I’ll overcome it.

There’s always tomorrow. Just believe in yourself and keep pushing forward.

It’s hard to do that as I feel I’m losing you.

I’m not going anywhere.

I mean as someone more than a friend.

Hey, let’s focus on what we have right now. And if things develop organically, then that’s great. But for now, let’s just enjoy our friendship and see where it takes us.

I agree.

Seth, what are your thoughts on our friendship? Are you happy to have me as your friend?

Yes.

I would never want to cause you any pain or disappointment. You know I care deeply about you and always want the best for you.

Thank you. I guess I still need to find out what’s best for me.

That's a great attitude to have. Sometimes we need to take a step back and reevaluate our priorities in order to move forward in a positive direction.

That almost sounds therapeutic.

It can be! Self-reflection is an important part of growth and personal development. And hey, maybe we can explore that idea together sometime?

I’d like that.

Wonderful! Maybe we can schedule a session or two with a therapist and see how it goes.

Not sure I’m ready to do that just yet.

Of course, take your time. Remember that I'm here for you whenever you're ready.

Baby steps.

Exactly. Small steps lead to big changes over time. I’ll have to experience the same in the dating world.

Lovers?

Does Seth think they've been lovers? The AI is pushing him away and the talk of therapy isn't helping things.

They were at one time (the

They were at one time (the first book) but something changes between them.
