Are you suprised about that?

Whatcha planned so far?

Gosh, a little. I've never been asked out before.

Uh... planned?

Oh, so the person asked you out then?

I was figuring you asked someone out, in which usually you'd plan the dinner and movies or whatever.

Whatcha gonna wear?

.....oh and hi! I'm Clover Riley. But you can call me Chloe.

No, she asked me out. I guess.

Wear? I thought maybe chinos and a blue shirt.

Oh, uh. Hi, Chloe. I'm Clark.

You guess?

Are your eyes blue? What shade? Button down or polo? I'd vote for button down, and if your eyes are blue, incorperate shades that are close. Or like..dark blue. That really pretty shade thats above royal but below simple dark blue.

Nice to meet you Clark.

Sorry, I totally just went off on you with fashion ideas.

She said we should "hang out" because I'm free on Friday.

Yes, they're blue. Button... royal... I'm sorry, Miss.. uh, Chloe, this is all a bit much for me. I'm not really a... dater.

Aww! Thats so awesome.

Sorry. I tend to...yeah. Ignore me. Wear whatever makes you happy.

Any idea where you'll go?

Is it? I don't really know.

Idea... no. Should I ask?

A date. Some modern term for a liason?

Liason? No! No, just... two people who go out and share maybe a meal. Nothing like a liason, Mister.

*Unphased*
Something more formal then. Nothing wrong with that, are you in love with the lady in question?

In love? No! No, she just asked me if I'm free and when I said yes, she said we should have dinner. That's all!

So it's not so much a date, as a meal with an acquaintance. Which begs the question.. why are you worrying about it?

((ooc: Apologies for Giac's obtuse-ness XD))

Uh, yes, I guess so. I... don't know. It seemed like a date when she asked.

Riiight.
In which case there's obvious confusion, on your part, if you don't mind me saying. But whether you fancy the young lady or not, you might want to consider approaching the event from both perpectives...

Do you though? Fancy her?

Fancy her? I don't know. We're practically strangers.

Strangers? Well that doesn't change how attractive a woman is to a man..
Never mind.

You do want to go on this date I take it?

I suppose it doesn't...

Sure. I think it beats what I had planned for Friday night.

Of course not.

Oh that's VERY romantic. You ..don't do this kind of thing all that much do you?

No, Mister, I don't.

Giac, please.

Maybe I can help... Here. If it's friendship, then treat it as friendship. I'm sure a man like you knows how to treat a friend... even if she IS a virtual stranger. If it's attraction, treat it as friendship, because that way you won't end up getting slapped in the face and you may actually end up enjoying yourself... if it turns into love, then I'm sure the lady concerned will let you know all about it.
See? Easy!

Congrats?

Uh... thanks. I'm not really sure how it happened. It's all a blur.

Welcome. I'm going to be nice and assuming the datee is female. Who is picking the outing?

Why is that being nice? She is female. I don't date men, but I wouldn't be offended if you thought so. I'm old-fashioned, but not that old fashioned.

Well... she asked me. Doesn't that mean she decides?

Because if I asked, a lot of men would find it extremely offensive, Clark. Apparently you're one of the nicer, open-minded types.

... I have never been on a date before, so take my advice with that in mind. Since she asked, I think you get to choose. I think.

Oh. Well, thanks.

Really? I haven't done this, exactly. I don't know.

No problem.

You know, libraries have books on this kind of thing. Or you could google 'dating etiquette' or somesuch.

Gosh. You know, I didn't even think of that.

That's because everyone assumes that you know what to do on a date these days, seeing as how it's such a huge part of Western culture. So, yeah, try the Google thing.

Besides, I kind of owe you for putting me in Ms Lane's path for my story.

I will, thank you.

Oh, it was nothing. Really. I hope she's helping you.

Welcome.

She is. I mean, we talked for two hours today, and she's going to try and verify some of the people involved in all the experiments. I promised I'd stick around.

Going apartment hunting tomorrow.

That's great! I'm so glad to hear that.

Good luck!

I do owe you a coffee someday, in a completely non-date setting.

And thanks, on both accounts.

I told you that you would not be alone for long. Congratulations.

Oh, I don't know. It's only a date. And to tell the truth, I can't say I'm completely sure it's even that.

It is still human interaction, which is important. Hopefully it will make you feel less alone.

That's true. I sure hope so.

Dude, you´re acting as if this was your first date...

Well, kind of. I don't date much.

Oh. *pauses* So... at least do you know where are you taking her?
