[Jade takes a moment, sitting back for a long think about this. There's a part of her that wants to just find Dave, wherever he is, and teleport him in so that they can talk about this face to face, but she also knows that probably wouldn't accomplish much of anything. She can deal with Dave later.]

Well, for one, Dave is not Terezi! So be extra careful that you don't compare him to somebody that you used to like, because he's the person you like now, and that is the important thing. They are different people.

For two... Dave can be very bad at talking about things, and I know he was really stressed about the bomb thing from a few weeks ago. And because that involved you, maybe he needs to talk to somebody else who was less involved? It might be too weird for him to talk to you about how worried he was about you, just like you are talking to me right now about him!

[Jade isn't sure about that, because she has no idea what Dave is turning to other people to talk about. But maybe it's a factor.]

And a final and third thing! Are you going to him to talk about "shit?" Are you giving him opportunities to open up to you? [A pause.] Those are actual questions, by the way, not accusations! I just want to get a fuller picture.
