I don't know why I'm so worried about having a date to the Yule Ball. I bet there are tons of girls just waiting for a chance. All I have to do is sit back and wait for the girls to come to me.

I don't think it works that way.

[notapigeon]

What? You think only guys should be the ones to ask? That's pretty close-minded of you.

[littlemissdisappear]

Girls can ask if they have the guts.

[notapigeon]

Exactly. And that's why I'm going to wait for them to come find me.

[littlemissdisappear]

Well, good luck Wilbur.

[notapigeon]

Come on. I bet you already have a date.

[littlemissdisappear]

What? No...

I'm going home for break.

[notapigeon]

Really? Why would you wanna do that?

[littlemissdisappear]

Mom said so. Last time Dash and I stayed we got in a fight. There was a howler.

[notapigeon]

I think I remember that day. No one saw you for a week.

[psychiclilies]

If that didn't make you less appealing I don't know what did.

[notapigeon]

Whoa whoa. I am not unappealing.

[psychiclilies]

In your opinion.

[notapigeon]

I know plenty of people who would agree with me.

[psychiclilies]

Such as...?

[notapigeon]

Dave, Coraline, Dirk. They've got my back.

[psychiclilies]

Yeah, no. Friends don't count.

[notapigeon]

Yes they do. If they're my friends that means that already found me appealing. So, I win.

[psychiclilies]

We're talking about two different kinds of appeal here.

So does that mean you want to date one of them?

[notapigeon]

No. Those are my friends. You don't date your friends.

[psychiclilies]

You can too date your friends.

[notapigeon]

And why would I want to do that?

[psychiclilies]

Because you want a date for the dance, don't you?

[notapigeon]

I'm not gonna start asking my friends. That's too easy.

[psychiclilies]

Boys.

[its_cor_aline]

Dude, if you have that kind of attitude you are going to be one lonely guy at the dance.
Besides, if you sit around and wait all the other guys who WILL be doing the asking will take all of the eligible ladies.

[notapigeon]

I'm not just gonna jump at the first girl I see either.

[its_cor_aline]

Well, I'd hope not. I'd hope that you at least had some kind of interest in the girl you ask. If not romantic, at least someone you'd want as a friend.

[notapigeon]

Asking a friend is too easy. It's almost cheating.

[its_cor_aline]

Not really. I think it's actually harder work to make a friend start to see you as date potential.

[notapigeon]

That just feels really weird to me.

[its_cor_aline]

Why? You already know each other so you obviously get along. A lot of relationships start out with being friends first.

I think it's easier that way..there's no pressure from the onset and you can gradually develop feelings for that person or just stay friends.
From then on it's just a matter of taking the next step.

....woah. This conversation kinda turned into serious business.

[notapigeon]

Maybe just a little.

[its_cor_aline]

Well, if you end up totally date-less you can always hang out with me. I'm going to go...date or no date.
I'll have fun either way!
