Well, there were two actually. One that he liked but she didn't know he existed, and another who secretly liked him. But neither gal really made it through the strip. I just couldn't think of anything to do with the characters, so they both pretty much vanished. There will be more girls to appear here and there throughout the strip (the "she smiled at me!" story is a good one).
And when we finally reach the end of the strip, there is a shocking, surprise ending....
I like surprise endings.
I always guess the endings.
