Amanda

Mason: Hey Amanda! What’s going on? What are you…just hanging out?

Amanda: Oh was that too much? Oh I’m sorry. We’re friends. I’m sorry.

Mason: Don’t let me interrupt…

Amanda: So what’s going on?

Mason: I just kinda finished a date.

Amanda: A what?

Mason: Well I met this girl Hilary…

Amanda: A girl?

Mason: She works at the Hot Dog on a Stick. I mean, I tell ya…

Amanda: Are you serious?

Mason: ...I know she looks kinda lame, but uh, you see her out of that uniform. Whoa-oh-ho. Man.

Amanda: Is she a hot dog on a stick?

Mason: I didn’t think of that, but yeah, she is one hot dog. Uh…

Amanda: So what do you like about her? Is she smart? Good with her hands?

Mason: You know, like, she’s got really good hair. She’s blond. Really pretty.

Amanda: I…I have great hair.

Mason: Yeah, you do have great hair. You know…

Amanda: Did you say she was skinny?

Mason: Yeah, I mean, you know. I didn’t really notice…

Amanda: As opposed to…me?

Mason: She’s not fat or anything. I guess she kinda looks a lot like you.

Amanda: But skinny?

Mason: A lot like you.

Amanda: Are you gonna call her?

Mason: Well totally. I mean, I’m kinda…like how long should I wait? What’s the appropriate amount of time? Like two days?

Amanda: I think I heard, like friend to friend…is girls don’t like being called.

Mason: I should wait for her to call me?

Amanda: Yeah.

Mason: You sure?

Amanda: Totally. I wouldn’t steer you wrong. You’re my friend.

Mason: You give it to me straight so that’s totally what…

Amanda: Oh, I’d give it to you…

Discussion

Mason sits down next to Amanda and she tries to cuddle with him a little. Mason is surprised and she backs off saying, “We’re friends.”

He begins telling her about a date he went on with a girl named Hilary who works at a hot dog stand. Amanda jokingly asks if she’s a hot dog, meaning, “Is she attractive?”

Mason says that she is and he begins to describe her. He says he likes her hair, but for some reason Amanda asks if he said she’s skinny. Could Amanda be insecure about her weight? That would be crazy! Look how thin she is.

Then Amanda tells Mason that even though he likes Hilary, he shouldn’t call her. It’s terrible advice. She’s trying to sabotage Mason’s relationship with Hilary. But Mason trusts her and says he won’t call her.

What do you think is going to happen to Amanda and Mason? Do you think he’ll ever notice that she likes him? Have you ever liked someone who didn’t realize it? Watch this soap opera unfold every Tuesday right here on Ebaby!

well…i don’t know because i don’t go on dates but i have a piece of information for Amanda…If she likes Mason and thinks he is Mr. Right she shuld hold unto him because she doesn’t know that the next person that is gonna ask her out is the Mr. Wrong!

To be frank, I didn't like this kind of ambiguous relationship. If they are only friends, they should know what should be discussed and what not. If they like each other,even only from one side, they'd better express their feelings explicitly. Their behaviour can only make each other misapprehensive, which might impair their original relationship on the contrary.

well i have seen this video and i think that amanda loves him,but she is selfish and don`t give good advises.i think if you like someone you must do everything to make him happy,even in the case if he will not be with you.tis is real love

I think in this case ,girls always chose to hide their real mind,so boys ,try to understand girls ideas is your course that you must do!

Sorry, I don´t like to say it, but this scene is just a repetition of soap opera series, played a hundred times again.

I have never had male friends in the past who would have asked me if they ought to call a girl after an appointment. That might occur to the fact that most of them are two till four years older than me.

But if I would have been asked this by a friend of mine, wether I am in love with him or not, I would have given a true answer to him.

silence for you

I think Amanda like Mason.but I also don not understand why she did not tell him.maybe she considers other`s feeling,she didn`t want to put mason in trouble.she really is a good girl.she worth everyone cherish her.
