Why Bother?

-You look great! Did you lose some weight?

-I lost a few pounds. Thanks.

-No, really. You look great.

-Thanks.

-So, how have you been?

-Oh, alright. How have you been?

-Fine, I suppose. I moved in with Sarah, you know. That has been interesting.

-I think she is really good for you.

-Do you think so?

-Yes.

-Yeah, well, I hope so.

-You are a lucky man to find such a nice girl.

=Well, thanks.

-I can tell she really cares about you.

-Yeah. I guess she does.

-It's great. It must be nice.

-So, have you been dating?

-Not really. Well, a little bit. No. Not really.

-Sounds like you are dating someone...

-No, I'm not.

-C'mon. You don't have to hide it from me. I won't be hurt.

-Are you mocking me? I'm not dating anyone.

-You need to relax. So why aren't you dating anyone?

-I don't know. How is work going?

-Not so good. I hate it. What do you think I should do with my life?

-What do you want to do with your life?

-That's the question.

-I think it is a stupid question. Much better to ask "How should I spend my time?"

-Whatever. I need to make money. I know how I want to spend time.

-How do you want to spend time?

-Thinking.

-Mmmm. You could go back to school.

-Yeah. How is your job?

-Awesome. I love it.

-So now you just need a boyfriend

-I don't need anything.

-You always say that.

-I don't always say anything.

-You always say that, too.

-I have to go.

-I know you do.

-Have a good night. Tell Sarah I say, "Hi." and that I can't wait to see her again.

-Sure. Take care of yourself, ok?

-OK. Bye.

-See ya.
