Danny Avidan x Male!Reader: Guide To Dating

1

"Okay, dude, what is your problem?" Dan asked you finally as he walked by your desk, where you had been staring at an unfinished audio edit, lost in a seemingly fantasy world of your own. "(YN)!"

"What?" you said, snapping out of your trance in time to catch your screen go to a sleep timer.

"You're all the way in outer space, are you okay?" You sighed and leaned back in your chair.

"Yeah, just fuckin'...," you sighed. "Editing."

"Okay, nothing else?" You shrugged. "How goes the dating thing, then?" You rolled your eyes.

Since you had started to try getting someone to date, Dan had been on a constant stream of asking you how you were doing. In all honesty, you were hardly searching at all. You already really had your eyes on someone else.

"It's...hard," you decided to say as Dan stole Barry's unoccupied desk chair to sit in. "I mean, there's... I've got someone in my sights, but I don't know how...to approach it. You know?"

"Oh, okay. Do you talk to her often?" Her. Oh, good grief.

"Yeah, I mean. Probably, like, every day, I guess."

"In person?" You bit your lip.

"Yeah, I'd say." Dan looked to the side, then snapped his fingers.

"Got it. Move over." Dan pushed your rolling chair aside and, after asking you to minimise the window you were in, opened up a notepad window.

"What are you doing?" you asked.

"How To Ask Out A Girl," Dan read aloud as he typed, and you laughed. "Okay, so first thing's first..."

1. You have to let her know you want to be near her.

"Dan?" you called.

"What's up?" he replied as he stuffed his phone into his pocket, ending off the work day.

"So, did you want to go see that Alice In Wonderland movie?" Dan chuckled.

"Through The Looking Glass? Yeah, maybe. Why?"

"Well, if you want, we can go see it over the weekend. If you want, that is." You watched as Dan turned in a circle thrice before he figured out his glasses were on his forehead and pushed them down in front of his eyes.

"I guess, yeah," he said. "Why me? I'm sure Suzy wants to see it."

"Well, I guess I kind of wanted to hang out with you. I didn't think to ask Suzy, so if you don't want to go, I'll go ask her."

"Well, would you rather go with her or with me?" Dan faced you and raised his eyebrows with a grin. You shrugged.

"I guess you."

"Then I'll go." Dan chuckled. "I'm kind of glad you want to go see it with me. I was only going to see it if someone went with me."

"Well, I want to go with you, so we both win, right?"

"That's correct, (YN). I'll text to tomorrow, okay?"

"You got it."

2. Take an interest in her interests.

"What're you doing?" you asked as you passed by Dan's makeshift work station.

"Huh?" Dan said, pulling off his headphones to look at you. "Oh, vocals. I mean, kind of, just screwin' around with 'em." You walked over and leaned to look.

"How?" Dan chuckled.

"Well, so, I guess I'm trying to layer some stuff to make it harmonise, y'know? And, I guess, figure out a tempo." You sat down and looked over the various audio files he had open.
