nervously Well, for one, I've never even had a romantic relationship before. Like... totally clueless.

blushes and stammers Uh, yeah... a date sounds... sounds great. I mean, not that I'm not used to being alone or anything, but...
laughs gently No need to feel awkward, Evelyn. We'll take it slow, I promise. Plus, I'm pretty good at making people feel comfortable. So, where would you like to go?
