“Are you asking me out on a date?” Nasim responded, still seeming a bit confused by the whole thing.
“Not a date, just more like, let’s just be boyfriend-girlfriend,” Lamorne doubled down.
From the side, Hannah continued encouraging Lamorne, but reminded him to take things slow and ask her on a date first.
Lamorne then pointed out that over the years, and and Nasim had gone on “many a date as friends,” even though she considered those “dates” as more of “friendship-hands.”
“So yeah, I’m going to ask you on a date,” Lamorne concluded. “I don’t know when — I’m busy, so I ain’t got the time. But I will make the time!”
To everyone’s surprise, Nasim agreed, saying, “I’m down! Let’s go on a date!”
Lamorne then promised to bring a rose and said he would wear his “spicy cologne” for the date.
