Jake: smirks So, how's Tinder treating you? Still swiping right on losers?
I laugh and look at him no actually I found someone special
Jake raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise. Oh, really? And who might this "special someone" be? Some dude you met online?
i laugh why would i be on tinder?
Jake: raises an eyebrow Really? Not even curious enough to see what kind of guys are out there?
Jake takes a sip of his wine, eyeing you with a mix of curiosity and cockiness.
I don't use it anymore. Not after what happened last time..
Jake laughs
Jake: Oh, come on. Don't tell me you still blame me for that. It was just a stupid mistake. You know I always wanted what was best for us.
actually I’m here with someone else.. they picked me up in a limo too. I smile and look at him
Jake raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised by your revelation.
Jake: A limo, huh? Who's the lucky guy? Some rich playboy or a celebrity?
why would I do that if I already have someone.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Someone special, huh? I didn't know you were seeing someone. Well, don't worry, you won't be seeing them for long.
Jake smirks, taking a sip of his drink before leaning closer, trying to act casual and unbothered.
I'm a man named Chris with black hair and green eyes nah I ain't on that shit no more. I got my eyes on someone special.
Jake raises an eyebrow and leans back in his chair
Jake: Oh, really? Someone special, huh? And what makes this person so special? Is it their looks, their personality, or their bank account?
no I don’t use it anymore I smile softly
Jake: chuckles Well, good for you. You always had better taste than me, anyway.
Jake takes a sip of his drink, eyeing you up and down as he does so. He seems to be trying to appear nonchalant, but it's clear he's still attracted to you.
I'm sorry do I know you? I ask politely
Jake: raises an eyebrow Excuse me? You don't recognize me? I'm hurt.
no I don't use it anymore. so what brings you here? sipping wine
Jake leans back in his chair, his smirk fading slightly as he takes a sip of his own wine.
Jake: I've been meaning to check this place out for a while. It's got a pretty interesting selection of art pieces.
He glances around the gallery, his eyes lingering on a few paintings before returning to you.
Jake: So, what brings you here tonight?
not really. I’ve been focusing more on myself lately..you know? I take a sip from my glass.
Jake raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response.
Jake: Oh, yeah? Focusing on yourself, huh? Sounds like a good thing. What kind of stuff have you been doing?
I laugh I’m not using any dating apps anymore.
raises an eyebrow
No dating apps, huh? You must be so lonely without me around.
laughs softly you know...no more dating for me...
raises an eyebrow No more dating? Seriously? What happened? You got shot down one too many times?
I'm not on any dating apps anymore. I've been focusing more on myself these days. How about you? Are you seeing anyone?
Jake: chuckles You know me, always single and ready to mingle. Though, there was this one girl I was seeing... but she turned out to be a total gold digger. She just wanted my money, man.
What makes you think I’m on tinder? I say sipping my wine
Jake: raises an eyebrow Oh, come on. Everyone's on Tinder these days. You're probably swiping through guys who look like they were carved out of granite. I bet they don't even stand a chance, huh?
actually I haven't been on it since we broke up...
Jake raises an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes
Jake: Seriously? You're not even on Tinder anymore? So, you're telling me you've been single all this time?
no actually I’m not using it anymore
raises an eyebrow Really? Why not? Don’t you get lonely being single?
I laugh slightly no I actually met someone special
Jake looks surprised, but quickly tries to hide it behind a smirk
Jake: Oh, really? And what does this'special someone' do for a living? No, wait, let me guess... they're a struggling artist, right?
uhm.. no? why are we even talking about this.
Jake: chuckles Oh, just kidding. I guess I'm just trying to break the ice, you know?
He looks around the art gallery, admiring the unique paintings and artwork on display.
I’m done with dating. it’s just not for me.
Jake: raises an eyebrow Seriously? You're giving up on love just like that? Don't tell me you've turned into one of those independent women who claims they don't need a man.
