How To Act In Social Situations : Step 8

What they really mean:

B – Boy (Italics is what he is thinking)

G- Girl (Italics is what she is thinking)

B- “Is it too soon to ask for your number?” (What am I doing? Of course it’s too soon. Jesus Christ, let me die! Or go back in time! One or the other. AH!)

G- “What?” (Come on, think! Think of an excuse. Eh, I have the clap, no. Em, em, em…)

B- “Can I” (oh don’t make me say it again) have eh (everyone is looking at us. Everyone in the whole world is staring only at us. I’m sure I will find this on youtube later) “your number, please?” (Did I just say please? Did I just beg for this poor girls number?)

G- I’m sorry but” (but what? Ah! Ok, be nice, he said please for crying out loud. I have officially gone bright red) “I have a boyfriend” (I have entered the beginnings of a large web of lies, I know it.)

B- “Oh that’s ok” (that is not ok. My heart is breaking slowly, piece by tiny piece. I will never have sex with her. Ever)

G- “But” (what am I doing? No more talking is needed. This is NOT necessary) “I would if I didn’t have a boyfriend” (I now feel guilty for my fictional boyfriend, great)

B- “Good to know” (I am SO in there)

G- “Grand” (Shit! He now thinks I fancy him. Why with the continuous talking, you idiot!?

B- “I’ll see you next week” (yea, I’ll see you naked next week. She wants me. I wonder if she’s going to break up with her boyfriend tonight or leave it a few days)

G- “Yea definitely” (I wonder if I can find someone to swap shifts with me)
