Eric Reed has been stuck in Equestria for months, but he had always found it too weird to look at ponies in a romantic way, so he accepted he'd never have a romantic relationship.
Until now. He finally develops a crush on a mare and wants to ask her out...except he has one little problem: he's awful at asking out anyone/anypony he really likes! But with help from his friends and their varying advice (Even she will try to help!) he tries to ask out his pony crush.
But with his nerves, will any kind of advice help him not embarrass himself?
Yes?
No?
Maybe?
This story takes place after my "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" story, but it's not required to read it first to understand this story, other than to learn about the backstory of the OC human character Eric Reed, how and why he's in Equestria, and how his bonds with the other characters formed. However, here's the link to it if you'll want to check it out, and it's a 18-chapter story.
A Giant Adventure to Equestria
Also, special thanks to TheHardie-Boy for proofreading chapters 1-4 of this story
Just wanted to say, I’ve been looking forward to this story ever since you mentioned it

I'm glad I was able to finally get to writing it, and glad you like it!
It’s gonna be slapstick comedy, isn’t it?
Those rocks get in the darnedest places.
She just won’t admit it.

Isn't it the truth?
Cute little story.
9780210
Thanks!
You couldn’t capitalize the first letter of my name?
9780338
Oops, I missed that. Don't ask how, because I don't know either, but it's fixed
9780365
Also, I changed my username so that it only has five n’s now. Sorry for being so nit picky
9780443
Five n's huh? Duly noted
1. This got a huge laugh outta me.
2. Eric really has a thing for the EqG versions of his friends, huh?
3. Not gonna lie; was kinda hoping Sunset would admit she had some sort of feelings for Eric
9786501
1: I'll admit, I laughed myself when I thought of that line
2: Nah, Eric only thinks Starlight and Sunset in their human forms are hot. The others, including his 'big sis' Twilight, he just thinks are "cute".
3: Unfortunately, 'ol baconmane hasn't had the direct interaction with Eric to potentially fall for him. At least not yet...?
9786524
Is that foreshadowing I smell? Or just bacon?
9786538
Maybe, maybe not.
Or is it what I don't know either?
9786542
Please be foreshadowing. Please be foreshadowing I-I mean, I’ll just go eat that delicious bacon now
Twilight sparkle breking the fourth wall thats unexpectd
Stone:"He's asking her out again, time to embarrass, wait. He did that on his own. But making him trip over me is my favorite part"
But, then who preread the final chapter?
9945569
That one I did myself.
Calling it now. Either Tom is in love with Diane, and is sending his friends to trip Eric up, or it is actually Chrissy in disguise messing with his head.
9767424
E'yup, I think Tom is behind it.
Good thing Rocky wasn't at the party or things would have gone even worse. Then again, maybe he was the one to sabotage the confetti!
9768337
"DARN YOU TOM!!!"
I loved the ending, but there is still the loose end of Tom getting off Scott free!
With the remarks about how Eric picked up a few things from Twilight, did the latter also pick up a few things from the former?
I somewhat relate having a firecracker blowing up in one's face.

Twilight picked up Eric's playfulness, so she's not as serious as she can be in canon and have a higher appreciation of pranks. This change has been more subtle up to this point, so very few had noticed it.
