A/N: I don't exactly love this couple together, but since I love Anya (she is so awesome) and I love Wesley (he is such a cutie, not to mention beast when he insulted Dave in front of those basketball guys) I figured, hey why not. So enjoy!
When Wesley found out he had won a date with Anya in the bachelor auction, he was ecstatic. Under normal circumstances, he would have never thought it possible. He wasn't very good at talking to girls, if he talked to them at all. He either stuttered or said something stupid; usually both. So the idea of going out of a date to dinner— an event where you were supposed to talk—with Anya for two entire hours, made his stomach churn. It wasn't like he didn't want to talk to Anya—he did, he really did—but it was just so nerve-wracking. Even Dave's pre-date pep talk didn't help much.
"So your date with Anya is tonight, right man?"
"Yeah," Wesley sighed.
"Are you going to make a move on her?"
"No, of course not!" he said, shocked. "Kissing a lady on the first date is unheard off!"
Dave rolled his eyes, "Dude, think about it. You're going on a date with Anya; the girl you're crushing on. This has so many possibilities! It can either go amazing, and you get a second date. It can go ok, which means you didn't embarrass yourself too bad. Or you can screw it up. So don't screw it up."
"How do I do that; not screw it up I mean?" Wesley questioned.
"Seriously Wes?"
"Yes, Dave, I'm serious. I mean, this date has so many possibilities, right?" He shot back with a smile.
"Well, let her do most of the talking; girls like it when you listen. And don't forget to pretend like you're interested in what she's saying.
"But I am interested!"
Dave sighed. "Ok, fine, whatever. Anyway, give her complements; lots of 'em. And feel free to lie."
"Why wouldn't I give Anya complements? And why would I have to lie?"
"Wesley. Shut up."
"Fine." He mumbled.
"And whatever you do, don't talk about any thing science-y."
Wesley brushed off his suit, tighted his tie, and adjusted his glasses and headed out the door. He had decided to ignore everything Dave had said and wing it.
