Monologues

Characters: Jake & Matt

Scenario: Jake wants to ask out a girl from his school, Olivia, but he doesn't exactly know how and he is nervous, so he asks Matt for advice because Matt is very good at talking to girls and all the girls love him.


JAKE
"Matt, I seriously just don't know what to do. I like this girl a lot, I've never met someone so pretty and down to earth. But what am I supposed to do?! How am I supposed to ask her out on a date? I get so nervous around girls, I'm not as smooth as you. You make it look so easy. I really, really, REALLY want to make this one work out. I don't want to freeze up and embarrass myself like I usually do. Olivia means a lot to me, and she told one of her friends that she likes me too and that she is just waiting for me to make a move. Ugh, I can't stop rambling! I just need some help! This is driving me crazy.  I want this to workout, but I'm so nervous. And what if she doesn't actually like me and it was just a rumor?! AHHH! Please just give me some advice, this can't end badly I'll be crushed."

MATT
"Dude, chill out. If you know she likes you, It's not a big deal. I get so many girls because I am relaxed, not as pent up and worried as you."

JAKE
"Matt, that isn't good advice."

MATT
"Ok listen, Jake. You like this girl a lot, and she clearly likes you too if she was talking about you to you're friends. You always freak out around girls because you fall so hard for them and want everything to go perfectly."

JAKE
"Matt, still not really helping. Just tell me exactly what I need to do to get her to go out with me."

MATT
"Go up to her and ask her a question about, um, I don't know, homework or something. Then once a conversation is started, casually ask her what she's doing this weekend. If you approach it as if you're formally asking her on a date, like 'Hey wanna go out with me saturday night?!' you seem eager and honestly just plain annoying. Be like, 'The new spiderman movie looks really great, I really wanna see it saturday night'

JAKE
"But then how is she supposed to know that I want to go to the movie with her if I don't specifically say, 'Will you go with me?'

MATT
"If she's into you, she'll get the hint! She isn't an idiot! She will probably say 'Oh, well I actually wanted to see that too,' Then casually and calmly say 'You should come with me, it won't be any fun seeing it alone anyways'

JAKE
"But how do you know she'll say yes."

MATT
"BECAUSE SHE LIKES YOU!"

JAKE
"Bro, calm down. Alright, if you say so, I mean I trust you're advice considering every girl in this school is practically drooling over you.

MATT
"There she is, sitting at that table next to the chemistry room. Go sit down with her and start a conversation before her friends come over and the opportunity is gone. You got this, Jake."

JAKE
"Alright, yeah, I got this." he mumbles to himself as he walks towards Olivia
