Charlie has his first date to the school dance with a girl named Mary Elizabeth. He wishes it was with Sam, but her date is her boyfriend Craig. Charlie is still in love with Sam, but continues to just act as "normal" with her as possible because he knows the rules and how she feels. Charlie has a lot of questions about what to do and how to act on his first date. I think this relates to many teenagers today. There is always a nervousness the first time you are around someone, the continuous questioning about whether or not you are acting in the right way. He is very excited for his date and the dance, even though it is not with Sam.
