"You're attractive. Everything about you are. Not just the way your mind works, even though that counts as most of it, but the way you acknowledge that you are attractive yet still find it hard (overwhelming) when someone you find attractive is more attracted to you than you are to them. I think that just made me see you as 100 times more attractive. Or it just makes you yourself– more attractive, not even in the way that only I can see." (pauses) "Just saying."

(scoffs) "Next you're gonna say I'm not like other girls."

"But that's the thing, you are like other girls. And you're unapologetic about it too. So what if you're just like the others? And just how much you embrace that part of you." (another pause) "...But then again you also don't deserve to be generalized. You've got little bits and pieces from every category, like you'd fit in with any group but never the whole of you, so that doesn't make you an outlier either."

"So you're saying I'm average?"

"Your averageness is what makes you stand out."

"So you mean averagely outstanding?"

"More like outstandingly average."

"Huh."
