Dating A Sesquipedalian

(My boyfriend and I just started dating, but with some not so serious ground rules. We’re at separate universities, so I send a daily ‘have a good day’ text.)

Boyfriend: “Thank you, boo. But if you really want me to have a good day, then send me a picture of you.”

Me: “Remember our deal. Once a week! And I sent you three just a couple of days ago.”

Boyfriend: “Yeah, we need new ground rules. Rule number one, rules are subject to change. Rule two, no arguing with my nomothetic approach.”

Me: “I’m sending you a picture just because you used ‘nomothetic.’”
