[Jimmy's looking a bit more spiffed up than normal when he turns on his 'gear feed. He's obviously freshly groomed and wearing a sweater vest over his usual white button down. Jimmy has a plan.]

Good afternoon, World of Pokemon!

For anybody that doesn't know, I'm Jimmy Darling. I'm twenty five, and I'm a Pokemon Trainer and stock boy in Goldenrod. I got a house here, share it with a buddy of mine. It's a nice house. I got a ton of Pokemon. High level guys, well trained. I've got a bike, it's in great condition. I've got a kicking sense of humor. I can sing like an angel, juggle like nobody's business, and I may got mitts like a krabby, but they don't slow me down any!

I'm one hell of a swell guy! But there's one thing missing...

So what's a guy gotta do to get a date around here?

[Because after a year of going it entirely solo, why not just pitch himself over the network at large and see if anything happens?]

[Komasan takes the question way too seriously, he honestly believes this person is asking for straight up advise.

Advise he can suddenly give thanks to last Friday.]

You have to have someone force the words out of you and make you ask someone to go on a date, z-zura...

[Or so experience has taught him.]

And you'll end up feeling very silly when it's all over, zura...

Well, see, that kinda needs the girl to say 'yes'.

[Jimmy can't help but laugh.]

I'm still looking for a lady that wants to take a chance on a lonely lobster.

[Video]

[monge]

Ah, that's good, lobsters need love too, zura.

[What a nice friend, looking out for his lobster like that.]

But if you two need to find some ladies, they're everywhere in the city. Have you tried asking around there, zura?

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Damn right, lobsters need lots of love!

[Jimmy just laughs. In the year he'd been here, he's reached a level of comfort with his malformed hands that he didn't think was possible.]

I have tried the ladies in town. I have struck out, I'm sad to say. I never had this much trouble back home, which is kind of weird. People like me a lot more here.

A DATE? DO YOU HAVE A MANUAL?

[anexcitableboy]

What, for dating? It's pretty simple. See a pretty girl, ask her out, succeed or fail.

Apparently 'fail', in my case. Here anyway.

[coolskeleton_95]

BUT! I BET YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN YOUR DATING HUD!

[anexcitableboy]

....I've never heard it called that before!

Valentine's Day is coming up. Maybe you'll have better luck this time of year. You got one hell of a sales pitch, anyway.

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

A guy can hope! I didn't do too great last year...

[Video]

[ratherbelocky]

Well, what's your usual approach? Come on strong, ease in with humor, deliver a pick-up line?

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Depends on the dame!

[video]

[captainash]

Not accidentally insulting the woman you're courting would be a nice start.

[As proven last Friday.]

Personally, I've found that assisting someone in need of help is a great icebreaker and an excellent opportunity to prove your worth.

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

That's pretty much rule number one!

[Jimmy laughs]

Yeah, that can definitely help. Dames sure do seem to like to be rescued and stuff.

[video]

[captainash]

Even if it's not a specific fantasy of theirs, it proves we won't abandon them when trouble comes and it shows we care about their well-being. How could anyone resist that?

[anexcitableboy]

Good point! And I'm a stand up guy, I don't leave my special lady hanging.

<sub>[Why hello, Jimmy, it is your small wolf brother, Wrath!]

[Wrath sets the PokeGear down on a table, and then, daintily, sets a date down on the table.]</sub>

Here.

_{[He helped. c:]}

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

[Jimmy's got to laugh. He covers his face with his hands and just lets go, leaning back on the couch and kicking up his feet.]

Oh man, little buddy, you're one of a kind.

That...that is a dime date, no buts about it. Best damn date I ever saw.

But...see, I'm talking about the kind of dates a couple of people go on, romantic like. I'm trying to find a girlfriend.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath looks PLEASED AS PUNCH when Jimmy laughs and praises him.]

[HE DID GOOD! HE IS SO HELPFUL! HELPFUL WRATH.]

[But then the other shoe drops, and he tilts his head, curiously.]</sub>

... Oh!

_{[He... KIND of remembers some people talking about such a thing? Perhaps it's like that thing he talked about with Molly that one time. When people give each other butterflies.]}

Ohhhh!

You need to, um. Go catch a butterfly.

And give it to a girl!

And then she'll be your friend.

[rocketralph]

Not in my programmin' personally but do know someone who was looking for a date!

[video]

[anexcitableboy]

...Oh yeah?

[video]

[rocketralph]

Yeah! Coworker 'a mine. You remember the day everyone was losing their minds and singing at each other? It came up then, but I had say no. Real athletic, good at sewing, long hair!

Maybe someone should do a date auction this year.

[anexcitableboy]

Date auction?

video;

[heartdive]

Yup. People volunteer - or not if you're friends are trying to be funny - to go up and have people bid on them for a date.

I've seen it done for fund raisers and stuff.
