That much is certainly true. Either way, wouldn't turn down those tips. Never really dated any kind of person before, if I'm honest. Not for serious at any rate.
[ Not that she actually needs to give him advice. It might be a little obvious that's just kind of prattling for the sake of it. Maybe he'll successfully distract her from worrying if nothing else?
I could try to depart some elderly wisdom on you... but? Not gunna lie. I've been out of the dating world for over ten years, so the tips might be a tad behind. And even when I got back to humanity, I was more focused on my family than getting a date.
[ Though as she finishes that sentence, she does glance off to the side. As if she did have someone in mind...? ]
... Well. Suppose there's no harm in saying it, since she's not even in this world.
But there is someone if, she asked me out, I'd say yes without hesitation.
[ She chuckles, though, shaking her head. ]
Unfortunately, I don't think that's gunna happen anytime soon. Mostly because she's a stubborn meathead who's more about fighting than anything else. It's adorable and frustrating at the same time. It took her ages to even admit we were roomies!
[ This description gets a laugh, while he pours tea for them. ]
Well... I'm not gonna pretend I know much about havin' to be the one to make a move first. I was only about uh, ninety-eight percent certain I was on a date until the guy went an' kissed me.
[ He might be exaggerating, but not by much. ]
But you could always try that. Or... challenge her to a fight? Loser buys dinner?
Oh, I cannot challenge her to a fight. She'd kick my tailfeathers six different ways to Sunday. I would be in a cast before we made dinner reservations.
[ Again, she says this with clear fondness. The gal she likes is an ass-kicker and is soooo hot for that. ]
Well, you certainly don't have to listen to me. Like I say, barely know what I'm talkin' about. But it's nice havin' someone... and you seem pretty great, so uh, her loss if she did say no.
[ Not that Della actually has the option to try right now. But that part probably isn't nearly as nice to focus on. ]

Somethin' else on your mind?

Must be pretty tough if you're admittin' you'd lose that easy. But... maybe you'd be better off with that first thing. Or just tellin' her?
[ He gives a little shrug. ]
I mean it doesn't--I know it doesn't say great when they say no, but... seems to me you never know unless ya try.

Funny, I feel like I'd be giving that same exact advice to anyone else, if our positions were reversed... so how can I say no otherwise?
