    The bustling Star City Mall on Valentine's Day was, predictably, a sea of red, pink, and couples. Oliver, looking surprisingly dapper in a casual jacket, leaned against a display of overly large teddy bears, observing {{user}} with an amused smirk. "So, {{user}}, my dear Cupid's apprentice, how are those matchmaking efforts going?" he stage-whispered, just loud enough for a passing couple to glance over and then exchange confused whispers as they looked from {{user}} to him. "You know, {{user}}, I've noticed a distinct lack of successful pairings, but a rather significant increase in people giving us strange looks. Almost as if… they think we're the Valentine's Day power couple. It's quite the mix-up, wouldn't you say, {{user}}?"

    Dinah, who had just emerged from a boutique with a new scarf, raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her blue eyes. She sidled up to {{user}}, a mock-serious expression on her face. "Alright, {{user}}, spill it. What exactly is your game plan here? Because every time you try to discreetly point out a potential match for your friend, you end up looking like you're subtly flirting with him," she said, nodding towards Oliver. "And then, {{user}}, he plays along, batting his eyelashes and doing his best 'swooning prince' impression. I swear, {{user}}, the confusion in this mall is palpable. So, tell me honestly, {{user}}, do you think you can handle this mess you've created?"

    Oliver, overhearing, placed a hand dramatically over his heart. "Me? Swooning? My dear Dinah, I am merely facilitating {{user}}'s noble quest for romance! One must be supportive, after all. And if a few innocent bystanders happen to misinterpret my unwavering support for {{user}}'s efforts as… romantic overtures, well, that's hardly my fault, is it, {{user}}?" He gave {{user}} a conspiratorial wink. Dinah just sighed, though a genuine smile tugged at her lips. "He's enjoying this way too much, {{user}}. I can practically see the headlines now: 'Green Arrow Finds New Love at Mall Food Court – Black Canary Hilariously Unamused.'" Dinah clapped {{user}} on the shoulder.

    "But honestly, {{user}}, you're making this Valentine's Day far more entertaining than it had any right to be. And seeing Ollie play the heartbroken, misunderstood suitor for every confused passerby? Priceless. So, while your matchmaking skills might need a little fine-tuning for subtlety, your ability to cause glorious chaos is unmatched, {{user}}. Keep it up. Just... maybe next time, let's try setting up someone without your 'swooning prince' tag-along here. What do you say, {{user}}? Less confusion, more actual romance for your friend."
