[ There's something a little weird about discussing this with a stranger, despite the fact that Karkat makes a good conversational partner. It just ... feels odd, to be so open about something like this. He hadn't even mentioned his thoughts on the issue to Souji. He'd been kind of joking with that asking out comment, though also kind of not, and now here they are. Sometimes his sense of humor comes back to bite him.
Still, as far as advice goes, this is decent, and Karkat doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. So, now that this topic is on the table, why not?
Even if it makes him feel ... strangely exposed. Talking about his feelings with ... well, anyone. ]
The whole "I am not a homosexual" ... thing. That bad?
I can give it a shot and see if I have any luck. Though, now I'm going to wonder if him responding positively is him flirting back, or not realizing I'm flirting and just responding like a friend. I don't know if I'd be any good at flirting, anyway. I can't say I've really tried before.
[ if karkat had not spent a day on a "date" with yosuke he probably wouldn't have even blinked at yu's comment about asking the guy out honestly.
okay he pauses at the homosexual thing. that actually occurred in one of those weird memory things, and karkat has not?? mentioned it to anyone?? since 1) it was really fucking bizarre and implied he's an alien and 2) IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING HOLY SHIT ]
Uh yeah it was. Pretty terrible and I pray every single day to all the make believe gods that I will never sit through that ever again.
Alright so here's an idea. You should go on a test date to see what you think about the whole experience. It probably would have been easier if you did one for Valentine's but it's too late for that now. We have to move on and work with what we got.
I haven't thought that far ahead yet. We are crossing your brother off the list of potential test dates though. And Yusuke, I guess, because otherwise that is a real date and not a test date.
I will keep that in mind and will try not to suggest to any other people to go on test dates with their brother and/or sister in the future. ..... So when are you free for the test date thing.
No problem. This has literally been the most unexpected misfired text/first time talking to someone experience I have ever had, just putting that out there.
[ That ... even as a sarcastic statement is a really, truly alien concept to him, and honestly he doesn't really know how to feel about it at all. But he's not just going to say that. Instead he says: ]

Huh.
Have you ever actually dated someone??
no subject
No. That's kind of why I was just thinking about it, instead of actually asking him out.
no subject
Hm. I see.
Did you go on one of those Valentine's dates btw?
no subject
I didn't. I was just helping organize.

Karkat, you seem to have a pretty good idea of how this should go. Would you mind going with me?
no subject
he can't admit that now, he has been giving this dude advice??? it'll be bad to back out now? jesus christ ]
Well, you obviously need to be helped out here and I am willing to dedicate my time for this.
Also I don't know?? I'm an only child I don't know how siblings work.
no subject
Thanks, I think.
Okay. Rule #1: Don't go on a date, pretend or real, with your sibling.

I will keep that in mind and will try not to suggest to any other people to go on test dates with their brother and/or sister in the future.

So when are you free for the test date thing.
