This has the potential to go in a totally different direction. Wife and I were surrogate parents to a Thai girl who was dating Brad, an Air Force doctor. Brilliant in his specialty but not ready for prime time socially. She was expecting a ring, he gave her a rice cooker. Some would see it as a deal breaker, she saw it as a challenge. He PCS’ed before she got him trained. Lucky for Brad. Javier and Mari are wicked smart, but both are socially inept. This could get interesting.
I learned too late in life, that the best way to get into the social ring of a lovely lady (and her pants) is to treat her as a friend. You will be less of a threat and eventually, you will become a challenge for her to get you in her pants.
And it probably is best I learned that too late in life, I would have many more kids.
Fate can be strange. I met my wife because I almost died from congestive heart failure. When I got out of the hospital, I started walking to takeoff weight and heal my heart. Started out small but ended up at least 3 miles a day. Every Thursday, I stopped at the same Chinese restaurant for dinner. I was always alone. The entire staff asked if I wanted to meet someone, I said sure. They got together and came up with possibilities. Number one choice couldn’t make, so they called the number 2 choice. Last December was our 30th anniversary.
Okay, have to make sure I’m keeping up with the roster … Javier is talking with Kiko at her shop, and Kiko is trying to coach him into an opening move for Mari, correct?
So DBD’s socially clueless genius must have whiffed on the opportunity to drive Mari back to the ranch (where we know there is at least one barn with hayloft) in the 2/18 strip?
Mari may be socially inept, but not sexually; she has shown a desire and a propensity to jump the bones of a few lucky (but unsuitable) potentials.
So, ya know, wicked smaht is all good, but if you can’t figure out how to get properly laid then you can never be an actual man, bud, not to mention the whole procreation thing that your family wants and America needs.

Voluntarily entering the friend zone? Well, more for the rest of us I guess.
Watch out! Indeed!
Once you go Javier, …
Being friend zoned is not all bad. Met my beautiful longest term girlfriend that way. Met my Wonderful Wife from her roommate I was dating.

A nice uplifting story. Good for you and your wife.
