Next day 
L
I was in the living room with Sam, Jake, Corey and Colby. I said I need help. Sam said we've known that for about 2 years now. I laughed. Colby said I have a weird question for you L. I said yes? Colby said you have a real personality, why don't you show it off to your coworkers? I said I like to remain a mystery. Plus they talk about me behind my back and I'm not showing them what I'm actually like. Jake said they talk about you? I said yeah, I'm basically the company freak. So that's why I'm 90% sure this date with Tiffany tomorrow is a bet. Like someone like her wouldn't like someone like me. Jake said woah! L have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently. You're a very hot man. Like have you seen the comments from people on the internet. I said I don't do social media.  Sam said we'll look at this. There's hundreds of comments of girls AND guys saying you're insanely hot. So get that out of your head. Corey said now when was the last time you had a girlfriend? I said yeah about that, I've never had a girlfriend. Colby said hold up what? You've never had a girlfriend before?! I said no, pretty girls terrify me and Tiffany scares the hell out of me. They all looked at me. Sam hit me in the back of the head. I said owe! Sam said bro, you've caught some brutal murderers in Japan and England and pretty women scare you. I said yeah. Colby said do you have any experience with women? I said no. Jake said have you ever kissed a girl at least. I said a girl kissed me on the cheek once. They were in shock. Jake said holy shit! You've never had sex either? I said no. Corey said you're blowing my mind right now. You're hot bro how haven't you kissed somebody or had sex? I said I literally lived in a strict orphanage up until 18, between that and dedicating most of my time to solving crimes I didn't have time to work on my social skills  when I was done. Colby said we have our work cut out for us. For starters on the date you can't sit like that. I said what's wrong with the way I sit? Corey said it looks like you're about to take flight any second. So sit like a normal person. Ask her about herself. Jake said definitely don't mention the not kissing someone before. I said wasn't planning on it. But I'm still pretty sure this is a bet. Corey said look, we know you don't have any experience with this type of thing. But not all women are using you for a personal gain. I said the last time I tried to shoot my shot with a woman she literally laughed in my face, called me a freak and never spoke to me again. So excuse me for not being 100% confident in this situation. Sam said you're into Tiffany right? I said yeah I have been since we were in NXT and I was too terrified to speak to her. She never even looked my way until she talked to Becky and Liv and-. Jake hit me in the back of the head. I said will y'all stop hitting me please?! Jake said stop being a conspiracy theorist and prep for your date. Listen to everything we tell you.  I said okay. Corey said definitely don't do that weird crouch sitting thing you do. Sam said show her the personality you show us. I said are you sure about that? Colby said yeah, she just thinks you're deadpan. Pretend she's one of us. Show her the crack head personality you have. Have fun and don't be too serious about it. Sam said be a gentleman, use manners. But you already do that. Jake said be confident and stop accusing her of liking you for a bet. That's actually kinda rude dude. I said I'm letting it be known that I knew it was a bet from the very beginning. But I get what you're saying. Colby said are y'all gonna come back here afterwards? I said possibly. My phone buzzed. Tiffany texted me. 
Tiffany: I found this karaoke bar thats in LA. I think it'll be fun. 
I said oh god she wants to go to a karaoke bar. What the hell do I say? Corey said let me see that. Corey typed something and gave it back to me. I read what he said.
Me: sounds fun, I can't wait!😁
I said I'm actually gonna 86 myself tonight. They laughed. Colby said do you want us to hide on the DL. I said no I'm not that bad. Jake said well let's practice for tomorrow then....
