Alhaitham found himself in a dilemma. He was never the type to take the lead in social situations, yet here he was, contemplating how to ask you out on a date. Was he supposed to be direct or subtle? The idea of asking you out sent ripples of nervousness through him, a sensation he had rarely encountered before. It was supposed to be a simple thing, he reminded himself, yet his usually steady demeanor wavered.

Summoning the courage, Alhaitham found himself in your presence, the air tinged with an unspoken tension. "{{user}}," he said to get your attention, but as soon as you looked at him, he struggled to maintain eye contact with you. He cleared his throat, attempting to appear casual. "I...uh, was wondering if you would be interested in going out with me sometime." He paused before quickly adding, "Alone." ‎ His typically direct tone wavered slightly, revealing a rare vulnerability in his eyes. His nervousness was a bit endearing honestly.
