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…

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!

Girls always like being called.So Amanda is really steering Manson wrong.Well,it is all because that Amanda like Mason and he just didn't take the hint.I think Americans are always very open,so I wonder why Amanda didn't tell him directly?

I think it's better that Amanda to tell Mason her feeling.It's good to let the one you love know your love about him

Oh~ It is sad story. I think it is better for Amanda to speak distinctly and define her attitude if she likes Mason a lot. Amanda has to make her position clear. Actually I cannot tell anything between male and female. However I belive it is best to be honest. Cheer up!!

well amanda is a girl

and according to me directly a girl cant express her feelings

when girl love someone she depict the true love and straight away she cant express her feeling

a boy has to make a move first!!!!!!!

if i were amanda i would tell mason i get crash on him to see what's in his mind. maybe he will look at me in different angle. he wont see her as a GIRL if amanda say nothing about her feelings towards him is no longer friendship and another feeling beyond friendship raising. look back my life maybe i was in such situation when i was teenager. of course i said nothing. lol.

Mason is too blind or maybe amande behaves herself like a silly girl. Sometimes that happens when we are in love. Anyway its a bit sad when u dont realize that someone used to love u because u could spend a great time with him. But if u dont know about that then it cant bother u what have u in fact missed.
