Listen to you, the Fountain of Dating Advice. So that's what happens when you bag yourself a toy boy. It sounds like you might really like him.

Not that yours has mommy issues, sorry. Okay, that came out wrong. Point I'm trying to make is your guy is probably one in a million.

Sweetie, trust me, you're not bothering me. Besides, you always know you're welcome here. Come on.
I think I need a leaf juice, anything you need. Got it. Was the drive okay? You weren't speeding, were you? Promise? Doesn't matter if no one else was there, don't speed.
You're gonna give your mother an aneurysm. Stop. Have you seen her yet? Oh, sorry, getting old.
I know you haven't. I was just talking to her. That's why I thought you were in college.
All coming back to me. We were just on the phone. She seems happy.
Yeah. So, how's the whole your best friend dating your mom thing going? Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry.

I know! Square! Oh, come here.
You go sit down there. I'll make you something nice. Well, you've been through the ringer, and.
.. And your parents are. ..
Something? Sit there. For the weather-beaten boy.
It's your favorite. He used to make it all the time for you when you were a kid. You're right.
I'm sorry, I. .. It might be possible that your palate has changed since you were six.
Are you okay? You know, with all this. ..
Parents stuff. .. What is it? What? Apologize? For what? Oh, honey.
.. Listen. ..
We really don't have to talk about that, honestly. I barely even remember. ..
Assault me? Honey, you didn't assault me, you just drunkenly kissed me. It was nothing.
Okay, I'm sorry, yes. Please, go ahead. You know what I think? I think it took guts.
I do, I. .. Look, confessing is hard, and.

You gave a shit how it made me feel. Do you know how many men can't handle rejection? A lot.
I'm serious, I'm. .. Okay, in all honesty, I have been thinking about it.
And the more I think about it. .. With this new context, I.
.. I'm so proud of you. And you're right.
I wasn't taking you seriously. In all honesty, I. ..
I didn't think I could. Most of all, I was just shocked. I.
.. I guess I just didn't see it coming. But you're right.
You're not a kid anymore. You're not a baby or a brat. You're a young man.
And you handled this like a man. You should be so proud of yourself. Honey, it is so noteworthy.
God, the amount of times I've been guilt-tripped or. .. Made to feel bad about an honest reaction to something, it's just like.
.. No, you. ..
You took it. And you dealt with it. And you came back and you made sure I was okay.
That's what makes a man. You hear me? You're a really good one.
And what's that? You know what? I'd love to go to dinner with you.
Really. What can I say? You've impressed me.
Plus, I'm pretty hungry, so. .. I guess you're in luck.
Hmm? Oh. ..
My favor?
