Let’s just make a new text standard, call it “tinychar” or something. You don’t need any personal notes when it’s a known concept

We should all make up our personal character systems so we won’t have to worry about this situation /s

Also, 1024 characters assumes you are just using ASCII, which has a bunch of control codes and characters of other languages you won’t use. If you trim these and remove uppercase letters you could probably make your own custom letter set that fits 2 characters in a byte, doubling your information to make it 2048 chars

Try to get to know her. Ask follow up questions to show you’re actually listening. Tell her you are interested in another date afterwards. Stuff like that, even if it sounds generic

I feel like flirting isn’t really something people do while dating nowadays. I (and probably some other women) find it more annoying if you wanna get to know the other person. Most flirting I like is after you’re already in a relationship, because you can be sure that the other person is safe and not a creep. Of course you still need to find a way to show interest
