Hey young dudes. When you are taking a girl out on a first date saying, “You don’t have to stay with me, you don’t have to dance with me, and if you get a better offer you can go home with another guy.” is not the most smartest thing to say! And don’t talk about thinking about seeing another woman there! However, in this case, Spoiler Alert, the fourth panel seems to hint that this works for Gordon.
Positive for others. It may seem sad, but there is a surprising amount of satisfaction in seeing other people get what they want. …and, sometimes, get what they deserve.
Funny how life goes. So often the person you had a mad crush on in high school turns out to be a short lived event. The more we mature the more our idea of what we desire in a person changes dramatically.

As Gordon describes what a horrible evening is ahead of her, Tracey shrinks in each panel. Great symbolism in this one.

Indeed, Gordon. You owe to your positive thinking for carrying you so well into adulthood.

Actually, Gordon will prove to be VERY incredible.
In fact, his will be the typical “American success story”—even though he’s Canadian.

So on the plus side, or is it the puss side, Mike can stay home and do his homework.

Panel 1: It looks like they’re both in shock.
Panel 4: Yes, Gordon, you certainly are “incredible”… Otherwise, does Canada have a permanent tilt of 10 degrees to the left?

I wore formal wear to both the junior and senior proms. Gordon isn’t even wearing a dress shirt and tie.
