Mr_Rose:
Except Dale has always been awkward around Marigold?
When he wasn't being creepy-stalkerish anyway. Which could be interpreted as awkwardness on its own, actually; playing a 'role' with a stereotype attached is a bunch easier than being honest with someone you like for a lot of people.
Carl-E:
He's probably been worrying about this very moment since the first time Marigold threw money at him. He actually was hoping to have someone to talk to about WoW, and she got confrontational, so he escalated it online and in reality, but now they're finally alone. Together.
New territory is new.
Zebediah:
Marigold also has a history of bringing out awkwardness in other people.

I can agree with this. The main problem is that it is boring, but it is also awfully just... weird. They specifically set up this get together to watch anime so it was obvious that Dale already liked it. You could have replaced that with any number of other awkward ice-breaking questions and it would have made for a better comic.
Furthermore, check out his cool in 2512/2513. Maybe he was thrown off by the helmet incident (how could he have not noticed it was still on!?), but otherwise his personality is exceptionally awkward for the circumstance. Of course, maybe he hadn't internally processed his feelings prior to this point.
Long story short though, the main problem was that it was boring.
Interesting aside, 2513 was less than a week ago in the QC universe. It's been a busy week!
Barmymoo:
Strip 2259 was ages ago and not the one that we've just seen - I don't know whether the post you're quoting was a mistype or just a random statement.
