[ Let's just ignore the fact that he had a hallucinomemory of stalking someone with the intent to kill them, and that he fighting style has gotten a major upgrade. There is romance in the air and he for one is trying his hardest to not push them together while yelling 'JUST KISS!'. ] Poll time! If you had a BFF and they are kinda being all cute and sweet with another person who is cute and sweet back to them, would you: A - let them figure out that hey there's romance brewing B - send them a couple care package to give them a hint C - steal the BFF's phone and text their maybe would be could be date some innocent 'can we date?' texts D - lock them in a room and run away before they kill you Asking for a friend!

Talk. To. Them.

I kinda did ask him if they were dating but he thought I was being ridiculous.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, just talking it out works best in my experience.
Is he denying the the other person likes him?
Try pointing it out like "person A does this for person B, isn't that romantic"
If they say yes, then explain "person B is you"

[vendettastool]

I actually not sure though it sounds like that he thinks that there is no chemistry there or something? I think that it's also the fact that he kind of doesn't do a lot of dating and is missing some of the stuff that could go towards an actual romance between them.

I could try but idek.

[judgementkazzy]

You should probably talk to him.
I mean, he could be right and they have no chemistry.

Actually, what worked for me too was a double date.
Except you sell it as a 'group lunch' or that kind of thing.
But it's obviously a date, you know?

[ Kiryu knows a surprising amount of stuff about setting people up... ]

[vendettastool]

I'm thinking that he's scared to hurt a friendship thing.

Which doesn't happen as much as people think it does, at least, it never seem to when I did that.

A group lunch?

[judgementkazzy]

I can see that.
But if they're close enough friends then they can get through it if it doesn't work out, right?

You know, like... a lunch date. With you, your friend, their crush and a fourth person so you have someone to talk to while they're talking.

[vendettastool]

I could try that. It might be the easiest thing t do with them.

[judgementkazzy]

It worked out pretty well for me.
That was around when I noticed I'd been going on dates with my boyfriend before we actually started dating.

[vendettastool]

Really? Congratulations on finding a boyfriend.

[judgementkazzy]

LOL Thanks, we've been together for a few months now.
But even before that we used to hang out all the time just to talk...
So that's what I mean when I say we were going on dates before either of us noticed what was happening.

[vendettastool]

You know, that makes me wonder if they are already subconsciously dating too since he's been teaching her self-defense too.

[judgementkazzy]

That's possible, too.
They might not realize it themselves.
Once they do, it'll be like "oh that was super obvious."

[vendettastool]

Considering that they found this post and are now ganging up on me, I think I might just let them tag-team me and use that as a bonding experience.

[judgementkazzy]

LOL Maybe that'll work out better for both of them, then.
You still get to have helped them get a little closer.

[ Checkmate, basically. ]

[vendettastool]

Pretty much. Hopefully I'll survive the experience too.

[judgementkazzy]

Good luck.
Hopefully they'll appreciate your work later, once they get together.

[ Maybe Kiryu should learn to keep his nose out of people's business??? Nah. ]

[vendettastool]

I hope so too.
