(8:39:40 pm) ME :I just dont like to give out my name to strangers; it’s very rare and a quick google search could bring up lots of information about me
(8:39:52 pm) ME :Of course with the name Joe, I’m sure you can’t relate
(8:39:57 pm)JK872000:you’re absolutely right, i’m sorry
(8:40:21 pm)JK872000:i’m sorry for being pushy
(8:40:46 pm) ME :No worries. Most people assume I have a super common name like theirs.

(8:41:11 pm)JK872000:that’s what makes us unique
(8:41:23 pm) ME :Yes, but some overlap more than others

(8:43:56 pm) ME :I guess we’ll have to see if you truly follow through
(8:44:04 pm) ME :I know it’s hard to change how we are
