I don't even know why I'm doing this!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: <strong>Oh, you live in Boston, right?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Yeah.</strong> Ok, so she was told about me, that's some relief. I wonder what she was told - "He's a resident, tall, and fair and he graduated from Ivy League school!". God, she probably hates me already!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: <strong>Yeah, my mother mentioned you had my number.</strong> I can't believe he actually called!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>So, how are you?</strong> Oh yeah, that's real original, but what the hell else I am supposed to say- Umm, hi, I don't know you, but do you want to be my wife?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: <strong>I'm fine. And you?</strong> Ok, this is off to a great start</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>I'm good.</strong> Ok, think, think! So, I heard you're an investment banker? Oh, that's a real winner.

Do you drink? Cause if you want to marry me, you can't be one of those goody goody Indian girls who think that if they kiss a guy, they've practically gone all the way.. <strong>So, what do you like to do in your free time?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: Umm... get wasted... <strong>Oh, you know, hang out with my friends, go to movies...</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy:<strong> Where do you like to hang out in NY?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: Shit, what am I supposed to say? This guy could be some religious freak! I can't say bars - I'll say clubs, you can go to clubs and not drink... <strong>Oh, sometimes we go to the movies, or there's a couple clubs that are good...</strong> That was good, I made it sound like I like clubs, but I'm not really into them...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: Ok, she goes to clubs, that's a good sign. If she was really religious she wouldn't do that. <strong>Yeah? I like to dance also.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: He likes to dance- that's a good sign. He can't be that stiff! <strong>So where do you hang out in Boston?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: Should I say it? Alright, I'll say it, what the hell! <strong>Umm, the same, bars, clubs, stuff like that.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: He said bars! So he probably drinks. Good sign. I should explore this further... <strong>Are there any good bars in Boston?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Yeah, there are some nice ones, I mean, I'm not a huge drinker, but I like having a good time.</strong> Ok, that gives the impression of someone who enjoys drinking but is not an alcoholic - pretty good, if I do say so myself</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: That sounds really positive. This guy sounds kind of cool. But if he's so cool why is he calling me? Shouldn't he have a girlfriend? Or not need to call random girls his mother tells him about? God, what if he's completely ugly? <strong>Yeah, me too. Although I hope my parents never find out.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Yeah. </strong>I know exactly what you mean.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: Ok, so he didn't freak out at the living a double life reference- another good sign. I just wish I knew what he looked like... <strong>So...</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: Or she could be really fat with a huge mustache. Well, there's only one way to find out! <strong>So... I know this sounds a little crazy, but I'm visiting some friends in NYC next weekend and I wonder if you'd want to get together for coffee sometime.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: Coffee. That's totally safe. If he's totally nasty I can have a quick espresso and run like hell! <strong>Yeah, that sounds great.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: Alright that went pretty well. Coffee's pretty harmless. And who knows, maybe she'll be cool. Now I have to get the hell out of this conversation... <strong>So I have your e-mail, should I just e-mail you soon and we can figure it out?</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: E-mail is sooo much better than the phone. Thank God for e-mail! <strong>Yeah, just e-mail, I check it all the time at work, so..</strong> - God, this is getting painful</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Alright, I'll e-mail you soon. </strong>Meaning in two days, cause I don't want to look too desperate, but at the same time I don't want to look like I'm trying not to look too desperate</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: <strong>Cool. Well, I'm glad you called. </strong>I think...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Me too. Well, I'll see you soon. </strong>Please be hot, please be hot!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Girl: <strong>Alright. Bye.</strong> I can't believe he called! Too late to back out now. Besides, maybe he's cool. He didn't sound so bad on the phone.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Boy: <strong>Bye. </strong>I did it! I am the man. I think she wants me. Yeah, she definitely wants me...</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
