[ oh, god, steve is so not qualified to assist with whatever is going on here. superhero pep talks, he's got those covered. motivational calls to arms, he has one of those in his back pocket right now! advice for insecure teenagers in need of reassurance that they're worth sticking around for, the right person will come along, and life isn't always this horrible and hostile? shockingly, he hasn't had a lot of experience with this kind of thing.
alien invasions are less scary than a crying teenager, you heard it here first. ]
I think you're a little young to be looking for a husband. [ that's a fine place to start, right, and accurate, at least for the current time period. it wouldn't have been too weird for her to at least be thinking about marriage in his time, but that's one of the things steve thinks the modern era has going for it. he hovers next to her pew, torn between his innate desire to Help and his intense discomfort with this whole situation. ] Going straight to marriage is a bad idea anyway, the best relationships start out as friendships.
Me and my husband, for example. [ you know, it's a real shame this is an absolute lie, because it illustrates his point better than anything else could. ] We've been best friends since we were kids. There's nobody who knows me better. The depth of relationship we have, it can only come from knowing somebody for years. Decades, in our case.
[ video game? main love interest??? boy, kids these days sure do talk funny. at another time, steve might ask after these unfamiliar references, but it hardly seems important when he's trying to impart Adult Wisdom. ]
If you've got all those things going for you, then making friends should be easy. You can worry about love later.
