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?

I don't think Amanda will be happy to hear about Mason's saying she's lik her sister because she likes him secretly …. More than this himself likes her …. he knows a lot about her he's interesting on her he knows she's a lady and where does she wants going  he also cares about if others will treat her right … I think so

I don't think Janson will win Amanda easily. It is clear when Amanda told him to take it  slowly. It is not because of a lady's shying. Actually, Amanda likes Mason more than Janson. We can see it when Amanda and Devan were in Mason's kichen to compete his attentions. If Mason told Amanda she was like his sister, Amanda will feel upset.
