Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Just tell her you like her you dumb pillock

it always comes back to Paisy muahahahaha

I will never get on board with liking Mike lol Paulo expresses genuine concern about a friend and Mike just changes the subject to make jokes, keeping the focus on him

As a Mike enjoyer, I gotta say Mike was absolutely being stupid here, lol. Really, dude? The bird nest comment was your take away from THAT? lol

And just to tease Paulo! Who just expressed interest in James! Idk I feel like he can pay attention to others because he still pretty self absorbed. Where the growth haha

id disagree that he can't pay attention here. the fact that he caught Paulo's little comment that gives away his feelings about Daisy is indicative of his actual paying attention. everyone else is too absorbed in their own thing, and Mike didnt manage to escape the David Onslaught until after Daisy had left. idk i just think he was okay here with that, despite it being, yes, rude to tease Paulo.

The birds nest comment doesn betray how Paulo feels about her, him being worried about her just dipping does lol I just get the sense that Mike is more worried about how Paulo is feeling about her than how Daisy is feeling to be walking away from the people she just saw a movie with. Maybe in the next page, Mike will tell him to go chase after her if he feels so strongly, but who knows.

Perhaps the guy just does not want to interfere in other people's relationships. And that's a good position. And the joke was intended to distract and cheer up Paulo, and not be rude to him.

But doesn Mike have a relationship (friendship) with Daisy? Why wouldn he have been concerned about her leaving abruptly as well? And I don think he being rude to Paulo, I just don understand why he would need to cheer Paulo up. Paulo was just expressing concern about a friend, since when do people need to be distracted of that?

Oh, Mike is absolutely focusing on the wrong part of that conversation, but "Where's the growth?" Probably shown in the fact that he noticed Paulo seeming distracted at all. He was REALLY bad at picking up on social cues back when he was obsessed with Sandy and constantly hyper-focysed on his phone.

Also bear in mind that Paulo is VERY RARELY genuine and straightforward with Mike. Mike certainly could have just missed the context... or he could be using banter because that's the only way Paulo has actually opened up to Mike in the past. Overall betting on Mike being oblivious is a safe bet, but Paulo dishes out banter all the time, Mike knows he'll be able to take it in turn.

@Alec

oooo good point, good point :)

Paulo you useless bisexual

I would've said it's Mike being the one to fixate on the wrong thing for once but he's been doing a lot of that lately now

oh paulo you sweet bisexual idiot

I agree with Paulo, she does look nice when she looks like a bird's nest.

Now just connect the dots Paulo, you were so close!

Haha he cares about her. Neeeeeeerd

Tell him to go after her, don't do this to me, Mike!

And just to tease Paulo! Who just expressed interest in James! Idk I feel like he can’t pay attention to others because he’s still pretty self absorbed. Where’s the growth haha

The birds nest comment doesn’t betray how Paulo feels about her, him being worried about her just dipping does lol I just get the sense that Mike is more worried about how Paulo is feeling about her than how Daisy is feeling to be walking away from the people she just saw a movie with.

But doesn’t Mike have a relationship (friendship) with Daisy? Why wouldn’t he have been concerned about her leaving abruptly as well? And I don’t think he’s being rude to Paulo, I just don’t understand why he would need to cheer Paulo up.
