Because we're going to do this the scientific way.

Okay, ladies! It's time to help out Forge the Dateless Wonder. I need to know which of you fine young females:

a) do not have a "built-in date", as Lorna refers to it (I think this means a boyfriend. I'm not up on the lingo.)

b) have not been on a date with my roommates, specifically the smarmy Aussie one.

c) have not been on a date with Manuel at any point in the past... ever.

I need data here, people!

I second that.

. . . Well.

Congratulations, mate. I'm sure you and Leyu will have a brilliant time at prom. If she'll still have you, that is.

You mean if Shiro lets her within twenty feet of him.

I'm just a little boggled that I actually am disqualified on every level.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well... damn.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

What can I say, I've made some truly awful decisions in the past. Also, I have a boyfriend.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Well, we can't all be perfect.

Says the boy who just buggered any shot he had at getting a date to prom.

Terry: No worries, we don't hold it against you. Those of us with a functioning brain, that is.

Forge: Damn, mate. Just . . . damn.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

What, she's got a boyfriend! There are lines I do not cross, my friend.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

If I were a man in your (rapidly descending) position, perhaps I wouldn't be quite so fussy.

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? If I let her read this, then I wouldn't have to do anything.

Actually, I'd probably have to hold her back from gnawing on him.

Rule C! Rule C!

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

you are shooting yourself in the foot.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I hope she hits you.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

he deserves no less.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Oh Forgie, you say the sweetest things. You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet.

Dude, seriously, if you need a date alls you gotta do is ask.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

See, YOU get it! That's what I'm trying to narrow down here! All I have to do is FIND someone.

...

Wait a minute, am I missing something subtle here?

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Like a sack of bricks there buddy.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I am completely baffled as to what you could possibly-

Oh.

Aha.

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

a dim bulb brightens

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Ah, Jennie. Yours is truly a selfless life.

Forge, mate? If you act the twit with her, I'm pinching the leg again. And this time I think people will understand.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

he should go stag for his comments.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

I admit nothing about this making sense (or not). Nothing.

Just wait till I get home, mister

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Jeeze, Forge. I go away to New York for awhile and you completely go downhill with the social abilities. Don't make me bring you the horrid 'Dealing with the public' trainee movies they've been showing us lately.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Wow. Such a smooth talker. It's a wonder you didn't get suffocated as a small child.

I'll have to confer with Paige and Kitty, but I think you have totally forfeited any genius designation, at least temporarily.

Dude, women are not data points. I'm just sayin'.
