In much the same way he responded to Stiles's request for the very same thing, Derek just gives Diego a look that says he's not impressed by the question. "Can you just trust me on this? I'm not great at making or being friends but I'm pretty great at women when I want to be." That comes out sounding really arrogant, he thinks, but it's just a matter of fact. When Derek wants to turn on the charm, he never gets turned down. It just is what it is. Even Paige came around because he was persistent and she saw past the douchey exterior he used to keep as a teenager.

The way Diego looks at him, pointing at him, makes Derek smirk again. "Then let me do my thing and trust me for a minute," he counters. "Give me a top three to aim for. I say three in case your number one is otherwise attached."

He lifts his eyebrows and then looks out at the crowd of people again briefly before glancing back at Diego. "I don't think she has to fall in love with you, dude, she just has to find you generally attractive and get caught up enough in the spirit of the season to give you a kiss. It'll probably help if she thinks you've been checking her out all night." That's as close to a How To guide Diego's about to get on Derek's plan. "She'll think it's her idea."
