[ 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. ]

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?
