Oh, that's right. [Of course, they've been married.] I think I'll ask you. [Probably Diarmuid would give better advice, Kariya thinks, but he'd be much too mortified to ask him.]

Do you have any advice for me?

A midsummer party sounds like a good idea. Why don't you do that, and then I can take Claudia to it?

Be more confident, for starters. Ladies love a guy who can be proud of himself.

I'll get on that then.

Confident? I'll try. But I do worry about these things, and I wouldn't say this to Claudia, but I'm not really sure why anyone would want to date me. There are a lot of things wrong with me, and I don't want to let her down. I know that probably doesn't sound very confident.

I look forward to it.

That's what everyone thinks sometimes. But part of what makes good women so wonderful is how they'd accept their partners, fault and all. So just make sure to do your best and know it's your best.

You're a nice guy. Plenty of people wanna date genuinely nice guys.

Do you think that sometimes, too? I'll try to do my best. I know Claudia is a good woman, so you're right about that.

Are you sure about that? No one's wanted to date me before, as far as I'm aware. I'm not that nice, Lancer. I want to be, but I make a lot of mistakes.

With my wife? All the time. And I've made more mistakes than I can count when it comes to her and everyone else.

But that's where confidence comes in. You know it's a mistake, you fix it.
