Jason

Mason: I’m glad you made it over, man.

Jason: Yeah, dude.

Mason: It’s nice to have you here.

Jason: Oh yeah, man. I came straight from Amanda’s place.

Mason: Oh yeah?

Jason: Yeah, you know what? I was talking to Devan earlier today and she told me that Amanda likes me, which is great because, you know, I like Amanda.

Mason: Really?

Jason: Yeah! You didn’t know that?

Mason: Dude, I didn’t know.

Jason: Oh yeah, I have the biggest crush on her.

Mason: For real?

Jason: Oh yeah.

Mason: That girl’s like my sister, dude. So, you know, treat her right.

Jason: Oh yeah!

Mason: Because she’s a special girl.

Jason: She’s great. I mean, I would definitely treat her right. So yeah, Devan told me that she liked me so I walked her home, and then I kinda tried to kiss her when we got to her door.

Mason: Whoa, dude. What happened?

Jason: I don’t know…I usually have a pretty high success rate of trying to make out with ladies, but she wasn’t into it and she said that we should take it slow, which is cool with me, man.

Mason: She’s a lady.

Jason: Yeah, absolutely. A courtship. It’ll be delightful.

Mason: Uh-huh. You got any dates planned?

Jason: Uh, no. You got any suggestions?

Mason: You know, man, I’m telling you what, she loves Hot Dog on a Stick.

Jason: Is that so?

Mason: I’m telling you! Last time I talked to her about it, she was really excited about it. Kept asking me questions. It seemed like her favorite thing ever.

Jason: Well that’s weird, but sounds good to me.

Mason: Yeah.

Discussion

Jason came over to Mason’s place to hang out and drink some beers. He tells Mason that he recently found out that Amanda likes him. He tried to kiss her and she said she wants to take it slow.

Mason warns Jason to be nice to Amanda because he cares about her. He says that she’s like his sister. Mason and Jason agree that Amanda is lady and deserves to be wooed properly.

Mason suggests that Jason take Amanda to Hot Dog on a Stick. He says that she got really excited last time he talked to her about it so it must be her favorite thing. What he doesn’t realize is that she got excited because she was jealous of the fact that he went on a date with a girl who worked there!

Do you think Jason can actually win Amanda if he tries? How do you think Amanda would feel if she heard Mason call her his sister?

Oh my God. Poor Amanda, poor Jason! I think Jason won`t be very sucessful with Amanda as she has a crush on Mason. But she also won't be sucessful winning the heart of Mason. Poor guys, everytime is the same. You have a crush on somebody but who is interested in another person. The worse thing – Amanda's chance to get Mason is near to zero – he treats her like a sister and now he also believes that she is in love with Jason.

When a girl loves a man from the bottom of her heart,it's difficult for her to love another man in a short time.So,come on ,Jason,take your steps slow and you will win her heart at last. Istand in your side.

seems so complicated!At first I though it was Mason who said he really had a heavy crush on Amanda,but it turned out to be Jason,why shouldn't love just be simple?And Devan she just wanted to steer jason wrong.Hope Jason will not be too much disappointed when he find out that what Devan have told him is totally wrong~

I’m totally having fun with your soap opera, guys. It’s cool. LOL
Sister? Are you stupid? LOL .Mason, you can’t be that spaced-out, now, come on. Not after what happened in the kitchen. Are you trying to make her spell it out for you, ‘cause that’s the only thing she hasn’t done yet? Or you enjoy watching women fighting over you? Smells like a complex. LOL
Poor Amanda will be devastated but she shouldn’t waste time with him. Jason looks just fine. LOL
But Jason, seriously, forget it. She was totally apalled when you tried to kiss her.
Nothing personal.
