Jessica asks Justin to hang out sometime in a playful manner. She acknowledges that picking dates requires effort to find mutual interests. Jessica then presents a chart showing their interests, with some overlapping areas of high interest for both. She proposes hanging out on Thursday May 7th at 6:30pm for an unknown mutual interest, but realizes that date is far off and suggests hanging out this Friday as well.

So, first, can I just say?
You’re really good at picking dates.

3. And I know that’s not easy,
Because look how hard it is
for me to do.
It takes attentiveness,
a keen eye for detail,
work,
and maybe a harness?

4. And I get to sit back
and be all like
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

5. So thank you.

6. It being my turn…
