So, what now?
Right, so thanks to missgranger I am no longer purple and much the better for it.
Which made me realize that I have to stop feeling sorry for myself and do something about my current predicament, also known as deanthomas. So, I hung about the common room, waiting for it to descend into its usual nightly chaos (helped along by yours truly). Once it was in full swing, I made my move. Well, not a move really; more like a lean-over-the-charms-assignment-and-ask:
Me: Yeah, so how's dinner Saturday?
He: (Raises one eyebrow. Which, you know, is not a reply.)
Me: Dean?
He: Are you asking me out?
Me: Looks like.
He: I can do that.
I am taking this as a "Yes, Seamus, I would like to go," rather than a "Yes, Seamus, anything so you'll leave me alone." Though really, how could anyone say no? ;)
Only now, I have to work out how to make it date-like, as opposed to friend-like. Friend-like won't do. Suggestions?
