26. If after offering to fix your busted Wordpress template, I still couldn’t, but you know, you said that was okay and kept talking to me?
A wise lady explaining the vagaries of internet courtship supports the practice of another experienced lad who’s been refining the provision of “the internet boyfriend experience” — it’s the small favors, elevated to improbably perfect common bonds, that make for flirting.
So of course she could have looked up the answer you gave her in the Wordpess Codex herself. But that’s not what matters. What makes it a well-played attention-giving gesture is that you did the legwork, you followed up to see if it worked. It’s that consistency, even in the least consequential of things, that give flirting some power.
Besides, the better her blog works, the more opportunity you have to idly email her about what she writes, like every post were the most important thing on earth, that only you understand, and what a mad world it is that brought you together, despite distance and botched-up plugins, to enjoy that.
Go for it. Fixing her blog isn’t the new hanging her shelves (or his drapes, or etc. outmoded, overly-gendered domestic help), but what else are you gonna do from a few thousand miles away to show you can give some love to get some love, too?
