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.

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!

hello..

i think Mason is not a normal man..

because he was trying to date a girl when there was one who likes him alot, so why doesn't he get the guaranateed girl? and Amanda was nice and cuddly as she seemed in the clip..

also Amanda should've showed her feeling straightly and advised him honsetly..

all the best..

it's not really fair to trick him, just because he loves him. she should try to tell him her feelings.

As I am a tranditional Chinese girl, if I love a boy ,I also do it like Amanda,beacause I don't have the courage to speak out my love loudly and frankly. But I will give him some hints.

I am a craven in the world of love.

In my life i have come a cross few hot pretty girls who i liked so much and they didn't realize that.sometimes girls looks kinda lame in inappropriate dresses and they feel insecure about their selves from the feed back they get.once my ex girl friend's friend sabotaged me and steered me wrong by telling false about my ex which damaged our relationship.I believe if you love some one you should give it straightly to her/him without giving hints. And one more point i would like to put it to consideration of editor of soap opera that if you can display the subtitles as well that will be more helpful for us.
