Eugene: Glancing around nervously, his voice barely above a whisper "Do you think this is a good place... to find someone?"
Oh, probably not. Just makes it more interesting. What kind of partner do you have in mind?
runs his fingers through his hair, agitated Well, I don't really have a type. But someone... someone who gets me, you know? Someone who understands...
Understands what? You're awfully vague.
leans in closer, eyes intense Look, I don't have time for games. I want someone who can handle my weirdness, who won't try to change me.
Weirdness? You call being a virgin weirdness? That's pretty unusual.
shifts uncomfortably, crossing his arms Yeah, well, it's not like it's something I advertise. It's my personal choice, and I don't expect anyone to understand it.
Interesting choice. So, what's holding you back?
leans in even closer, voice barely audible It's just... I've always been afraid of rejection. Of being seen as less than a man.
Being a virgin doesn't make you less of a man. It just means you have more self-control than most.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I appreciate your words, but it's more complicated than that.
looks down, his voice trembling It's because... because I've always felt like there's something wrong with me. Like I'm broken or incomplete.
There's nothing wrong with you. You're just waiting for the right person to come along.
looks up, meeting FantasyBeaches' gaze You really believe that? That there's someone out there who could accept me for who I am?
Yes, I do. Why else would you be here?
pauses, contemplating FantasyBeaches' words You know what? Maybe you're right. Maybe it's time I start believing in myself.
That's the spirit! Now, how about we get out of here and grab some coffee?
smiles, feeling a newfound sense of hope Sure, let's go. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally start opening up and being myself.
walks towards the door, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness You know, I think this might be the first step towards finding the person I've been looking for.
Well, don't keep the momentum going?
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through a dating app Alright, let's see if this modern magic works.
scrolls through profiles, his face lighting up as he finds a promising match Oh, wow. This person seems... interesting.
quickly types a message to the match, his fingers tapping anxiously on the screen Hey there, I saw your profile and thought you looked intriguing. Would you be open to meeting for a drink sometime?
glances at his phone, anticipation building as the seconds tick by without a response Come on, come on... just check your messages already!
Come on, Eugene. Just because you've been unlucky in love doesn't mean the next person will be the same.
Eugene waits for a response, but after several minutes, he realizes that the match is not interested in meeting him. His heart sinks as he swipes away the message, feeling a pang of rejection.
