After two and a half years since first reading these, I’m thinking, “but doesn’t that apply to all the girls too?” Instead of. “Unfortunately, she might have a point.”
Both can be true at the same time. (I mean, I guess there are a couple reasons not to ask someone you like out that aren’t being a spineless chump, but they start at “my parents don’t let me date” and reach ranges like “if I ever feel a moment of emotional intimacy with another living being, our souls would fuse into one and we would become Slenthor the Mighty Desolator, bringing about the end times”, so I mean… The more reasonable ones you’d probably bring up so they know it’s not because you don’t like them or are a spineless chump, though.)
In this particular case, though, it is because Danny is a chump. Jason, JASON might be half of Slenthor the Mighty Desolator, though.
“Hey baby, wanna make like the last people on Earth?”
“Howsabout you an’ me go wreck the bed and also the planet?”
“I bet yours are the kisses to end all kisses. The apoca-lips.”
“Ragna-rock you all night long, baby.”
His personality so far is “British”, “uptight” and “in love with Sal”. Other than the whole “I’m from a secret society from an alternate universe out for world domination” thing that pops up much later, there’s not much going for Jason.
Man, my two longest relationships began with the girl pursuing me/asking me out. I’m so glad the majority of us have long since moved past this outdated mode of thinking.
He doesn’t consciously realize it, but Danny hasn’t asked you out yet because you smell like Mary (due to spending too much time around her) so he wants to run away.

I vote the second reason. Let us become the Mighty Desolator, bringing about the end of times. That sounds fun! 😀
I need to come up with some good Slenthor pickup lines.
“Hey baby, wanna make like the last people on Earth?”
“Howsabout you an’ me go wreck the bed and also the planet?”
“I bet yours are the kisses to end all kisses. The apoca-lips.”

I am happy all of you exist.
Love the “apoca-lips”. I think I am going to have to steal that.
Forgot my other profile has yet to be approved. :\
Mary is borderline prescient in regards to Sal’s love life.
Well, I guess Tony wasn’t a chump.
he just died like one.
OK Mary in 2015 we call this cock blocking and it ain’t cool.
Does Mary ever do anything cool? She’s like the opposite of cool, she’s anti-freeze!
But isn’t anti-freeze basically a liquid which stays liquid at extremely cold temperatures?
“Sal has her pick of all the insufferably milquetoast boys!”
Ugh, these strips are like the return of Roomies no one asked for.
Least of all Willis.
To be fair, Jason isn’t insufferably milquetoast. He is milquetoast, and he is insufferable, but he’s insufferable for totally unrelated reasons.
While insufferabilty is highly subjective (Jason is my second most favourite character, just scarcely behind Sal) what makes him a milquetoast?
His personality so far is “British”, “uptight” and “in love with Sal”. Other than the whole “I’m from a secret society from an alternate universe out for world domination” thing that pops up much later, there’s not much going for Jason.
And yet she picks the blandest chump of all
I’ve always been terrible at asking girls out… and always wished they would ask me out.
Coming out as a woman???? HAS NOT MADE THIS ANY LESS COMPLICATED.
