“It’s not worth being treated like an object just to go on a date, y’know? Where’d you get that lipstick?”

“He didn’t bother to show me.”

“Well, there’s plenty of fish in the sea. There’s a party this weekend if you want to meet a few.”

“Party? I don’t know…”

“It’ll be fun! Don’t be a stick in the mud. You’re always such a prude.”

“Just because I prefer a book to a beer doesn’t make me a prude.”

“Just come with me, this once. Please? What’s the worst that could happen?”
