wait that means its actually a date
i never did one of those before
How is that supposed to work

[arclightning]

If you trust him to be honest, then yeah, it means it's a date.

[arclightning]

[ As for how to go on a date... ]

Dates are weird. You're just spending time with somebody, mostly. You show up, you try to make the person happy. If you know anything about what this guy likes, try to work that in somehow.

My first date with Wu, he missed Republic City and restaurants, so I got us pizza and set up a picnic. That kind of thing.

[siriusly]

OK
so i probably have that part covered at least
i think i found some books from one of his writer friends? maybe
that's what i suggested investigating

[arclightning]

[ That's... pretty cute, actually. Mako's glad this is text so Manabu can't see him smiling down at his Omni, softly amused. ]

You're gonna be great. If you get up the guts to do it, hold his hand or something like that. Something to set it apart from normal hanging out.

surprise 2

And if you get nervous, just remember to be yourself. If he agreed to go on a date, it means he already likes you. Don't get weird.

[siriusly]

Easy for you to say!!
Im not that weird anyway

[arclightning]

You're not weird but you get weird when you're embarrassed.

[ Not that Mako is any better about that, at all, ever. Actually he might almost be worse but that is not the point here we are not ABOUT him at this particular time. ]

[siriusly]

Only as weird as anyone else you know

[arclightning]

That doesn't say much. I know a lot of weird people. I know a guy with twelve toes called Two-Toed Ping.

[siriusly]

then im even LESS weird than all that jeez

[arclightning]

The point is, just be yourself, don't freak out, you're gonna be fine. Dates aren't that complicated.

[siriusly]

OK fine

[THANKS BYE WHATEVER!!! aren't complicated

sure OK]
