MERLIN ASKED ME ON A DATE. WHAT DO I DO?!

[likefatherlikeson]

WHY ARE YOU TEXTING ME INSTEAD OF SAYING YES?

[ifeelthelove]

If I say yes, it'll all go wrong!

[likefatherlikeson]

You're letting your head make your choices. If you don't say yes, you'll regret it and regret will make you feel a billion times worse than nerves.

[ifeelthelove]

That's because my heart doesn't know what the fuck to do.

[likefatherlikeson]

Yes, it does. But your brain is making you believe it's wrong. Trust me, I'm an expert on this shit, Cas.

[ifeelthelove]

Did you ask him to ask me on a date?

[likefatherlikeson]

Hey! Mean. I would never do something douchy like that, and neither would he.

[ifeelthelove]

How did you know it was okay to start anything with Sasha?

[likefatherlikeson]

I didn't. But I knew I didn't want to let him go, so I did it anyway. Because after all that shit in Sydney and how awful I was feeling, he managed to make me smile.

[ifeelthelove]

It was really that simple?

[likefatherlikeson]

Yes, how it should be. If it's meant to be. If it's hard and hurting, it's not the right thing. It takes just as much strength to welcome the simple as it does to say no to the hard.

[ifeelthelove]

Nothing's ever been simple for me. It's all been a battle.

[likefatherlikeson]

I know, Cas. I've lived it. But I'm also currently living the except to it too. Don't punish yourself. Go on the date, have fun. See how you feel after it. He probably needs the fun as much as you do.

[ifeelthelove]

Okay. At the very least, it seems like he wants to talk to me. We've been texting. He sent me this goofy Beauty and the Beast meme to make me laugh because we discovered it was both our fave Disney cartoon.

[likefatherlikeson]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh now, you didn't tell me THAT bit. How much have you been texting?

[ifeelthelove]

Well, he said he crashed and slept the whole day after the night we were up talking. But he answered my text in the afternoon, so pretty much on and off since then.

[likefatherlikeson]

And he thought he was asking you out on a sympathy date because I asked him? Sheesh, I thought girls were supposed to be more onto this stuff than dudes. Y'all gonna be asking to double date with us within the month.

[ifeelthelove]

You would want to go on a double date with us?

[likefatherlikeson]

Ah, but the question is, would you want to double date with US?

[ifeelthelove]

If it's anything but Karaoke of go-karting, yes.
