A: Hey, what’s up? You’re looking a little anxious these days.<\/p>\n
B: I know. We’re getting close to the romance deadline.<\/p>\n
A: The romance deadline?<\/p>\n
B: Yeah, in a couple of days I have to decide who I’ll be going out with for the next five years or so.<\/p>\n
A: Oh, right, I forgot. Have you decided between boyfriend and girlfriend?<\/p>\n
B: I’ve thought about it a lot, and I definitely want a girlfriend.<\/p>\n
A: That’s cool. But don’t you worry that the standards are higher if you say you want a girlfriend? I’ve heard that boyfriends are much easier.<\/p>\n
B: I heard that, too. But girls are what I’m really passionate about.<\/p>\n
A: Couldn’t you just get a boyfriend first, and then switch if you don’t like it?<\/p>\n
B: Some people try that, but it can be awkward. Better to just be honest about your intentions from the start.<\/p>\n
A: Fair enough. So did you get any acceptances?<\/p>\n
B: Yeah, two different women have agreed to date me. Cindy and Alyssa. But I have to choose one.<\/p>\n
A: Hey, that’s great that you go two offers. Have you made a choice yet?<\/p>\n
B: Well, I had coffee with Alyssa, and we really hit it off — she’s beautiful, and charming, and laughed at my jokes. I definitely think we would get along well over the next few years. I met Cindy, too; she’s a knockout, and clearly very talented, but there wasn’t as much of a spark there.<\/p>\n
A: That can happen. So are you going to choose Alyssa?<\/p>\n
