Say you want to ask a girl out. How do you go about doing that?

Girls like flowers, right?

[See, there's actually a lot of consideration that goes into this. For a guy with a faulty brain-to-mouth filter and a do-or-die attitude, the amount of waffling here is...strange, maybe. But everyone's a walking contradiction. He has some ideas, along with maybe ten different speeches that he's mentally mapped out over the past three years and never planned on actually using, but second- and third-guessing himself leads to this pandering for advice...thing. He's pretty sure it's lame, but... It couldn't hurt, right?

Okay, so maybe he's just procrastinating.]

[Anonymous dweebiness aside, Jean goes about his day as usual. Training at the Battle Dome; going to school; taking care of his horse at the stables, and taking him out for a ride into the woods; and checking the General Store for some...supplies, art supplies. Don't ask, don't tell.]

It's all about knowing the girl in question and what she likes. Some girls like flowers. Some would rather go to the bar.

In that sense, asking for advice will get you just as many bad answers as it will good ones.

Yeah, I can see that. [He's gotten some pretty terrible answers already, not that Gai would know anything about that, of course not.] It's not like I was expecting any perfect wisdom about it or anything, I'm just looking for some pointers.

I doubt she's interested in going to the bar. [Which he adds just to show he knows something at least.]
