Let's roleplay, "Really"
June 30, 2010 | 12:19 PM

Ok, "really", I would like to live up to your advice. Help me by role-playing a little bit.

It is the beginning of the date, and we near Paia. I pull the car into Ho'okipa scenic point, for a romantic sunset behind Kahakuloa. I murmur to you, "We can go to Mama's Fish House, or we can go for spam musubi in the quickie-mart. I am, frankly, a bit of a tool, but innocent and awkward around women in an endearingly cute way. I am willing to spend upwards of $150 on dinner. If I do, this is how it's supposed to go: I take you out, buy you a nice dinner, engage in some good conversation, then we go back to my place and see where it leads. You don't have to put out, but I'd expect at least the courtesy of a make-out session. Does this make me sound like a John and you like a prostitute? Maybe. But hey, you gotta give to get."

OK, your turn

What would "really" say now?
