[color=deepskyblue]“It’s… not that simple…[/color] Conner answered. [color=deepskyblue]“I flirt with hot guys on the beach all the time. I don’t expect any of them to actually take it serious. And if they do, great. I scored a date with a hot guy! It’s a little different when it’s someone you… actually like for real… You don’t wanna… scare them off you know?”[/color] Conner sighed. Especially when the potential rejection comes from someone you consider a friend. 

Then he put his arm around Miles’ shoulder. [color=deepskyblue]“Now, that’s enough about my love life. Let’s talk about yours. Are you seeing anybody?”[/color] Conner chuckled so it wouldn’t come off to strongly, but he really wanted to know the answer to this question. He had heard Miles talk about going on dates before, but he hadn’t heard of any of them being serious. [color=deepskyblue]“Surely there’s a guy or girl out there who would be interested in a fine athlete like yourself.”[/color] Conner cringed as soon as the words left his mouth.
