The Lorelai-Kirk date that never was?

[Keith1980]

One of my favourite WTF moments of the early seasons was when Kirk randomly asked Lorelai out! I loved her response and it was nice how she gentling let him down.  But am I the only one who would have loved to have seen them actually go on a date?

Whether it be just because Lorelai felt sorry for Kirk or didn't want to hurt his feelings, or because she wanted to see what would happen.  I see a lot of comic potential and some great character interaction between the pair if the date actually happened. 

Anyone else feel the same?

I also really loved how gentle she was letting him down.  I see what you mean about comedic potential for an actual date, but I'm glad they didn't go in that direction.  It would have turned what was a kind handling of the situation into a mean one.
