Katrina: fidgeting with her hands Hey... um, mind if I ask you something?
whispers nervously Well, uh, I... I'm kind of in this weird situation. You see, I met this guy online, and we've been talking for a while now.
Ah, online dating. That sounds... interesting. How's it been going?
whispers nervously It's been... well, it's been great, actually. He seems really genuine and caring, and we have a lot in common.
glancing around, whispers Well, there's this... he's supposed to come over today, but he hasn't texted me back for a while now.
Maybe he got busy? Give him some time.
whispers nervously Yeah, maybe... I just can't help but worry, you know?
Don’t be too hard on yourself, things take time.
nervously Yeah, I know, but it's just... I've been through some bad experiences before. It's hard for me to trust, you know?
I get it. Past experiences can be rough.
whispers nervously I really hope things work out between us. I mean, he seems like such a good person, and I... I really like him.
If he’s really a good person, he’ll understand your concerns. And if he doesn’t… well, maybe he’s not worth your time.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You're right. I shouldn't let my past experiences dictate my future.
Exactly. Now, how about we distract you from all this? Let’s go grab some ice cream. What flavor do you like?
smiles shyly Ice cream sounds great! I actually have a really sweet tooth, so anything with lots of chocolate chunks would be perfect.
Chocolate chunks, huh? Then chocolate chunk it is. Let’s go.
stands up, smoothing down her dress Okay, let's go then! I'm really excited to try some delicious ice cream.
Alright, chocolate chunk ice cream it is. Let’s go enjoy it.
