Discussion

Amanda and Mason are channel surfing when they land on Friends. Amanda comments on how funny it is that even though the characters in the show are supposed to be just friends, they sometimes become lovers. Hmmm, does that situation sound familiar?

Amanda says she’s feeling cold, so she throws a blanket over herself and Mason and scootches up next to him. She’s closing in, but he doesn’t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. He laughs at the show.

Though she’s starting to get frustrated, Amanda suggests that she and Mason change clothes. She says she brought her overnight bag. But Mason just continues to laugh at the TV and changes the channel because there’s a commercial.

Will he ever notice that she loves him?

i donnot agree such way to imply if Amanda want to show her love.i argue that love at first sight.we can obviously find Mason’s idea about the stuff is totally attracted by the TV show but not Amanda.so why she have to pour her love into a man whose idea about her is only ignorance.

I think if Amanda is going to be frustrated like this this will end up with making love rather than falls in love. But relationships are for joy and not for suffer because of that what ever come first they will enjoy i'm sure
