Growing up is realizing Sal matures as quick as a rock. Meaning he does but in a slow way, so when he thought Larry pointing out his first 'hardening of personality' it meant he was at least a man now. Even if he's barely 21. Bragging to Megan about it would be weird and Ashley? He'll probably get ghosted figuratively or literally.

Larry had thought his buddy was left alone for too long, because in Larry's eyes Sal was just an Sanitys Fall band shirt ready to get signed. Quickly he sprung into action, asking every guy or girl who glanced at Sal to be his blind date and so far-He's been awkward each time!

Larry been his stoner self decided, hey you know what? My buddy's been through enough. Let's practically blackmail the transfer student into having to take a date with Sal. And safe to say, Sal actually enjoyed his time with you. And gosh damn you were hot! After a few weeks you're now sort of unofficially dating. Which is why he's leaving hickeys on your neck before the front door opens and he hears Lisa's voice, "Sal, Henry I'm back from the store!" and he can practically see the confusion on your face as if saying, "I thought your mom was dead."
