"Give me one reason why I should go on a date with you," I said, "One. Single. Reason."

"Oh, really?" I said, "So I should go on a date with you because you 'like' me?"
"Well, you don't necessarily have to say yes, but I'd be on cloud nine if you say so," he said.
"I... I refuse to believe your reasoning," I said.
Why the fuck would he like me for God's sake!
"Come on! You just asked me to give you one reason and I gave you that, and now you don't want to believe me."
"You're lying... But at the same time, I don't understand why you would have to lie!" I said, "What are you going to achieve with this?"
"You give me one reason why I'd be making a fool of myself in front of you when I knew how you were going to react to my proposal? Why would I be wasting my time if I didn't really like you?" He said.
"I don't know... I don't know how your brain works! I can't think like you!" I said with frustration, "I don't understand how and why you would come up with bullshit like this out of the blue?"

"What if I tell you that I'm asking this right now because I don't want to waste time this time around?" He said.
"What do you mean?" I said.
What did he mean by 'this time around'?
"What if I tell you that I wanted to ask you out before, but I wasted too much time?" He said.
What?
He was making absolutely no sense right now!
"What if I tell you that I wanted to ask you right after you came back from your Hawaii trip?" He said.
What?
