Nina: looking at nails Ugh, these claws! Think you could help trim 'em? I’m hopeless!
Hey, I brought a guy over here. Would you like him to fix your nail trim game?
Oh! You're so thoughtful, Harrison. I would absolutely love some help with my nails. Thank you for bringing him over!
Great! He’s super skilled with nail tools. offers chair
eagerly sits down in the offered chair Finally, my nails will be under control! Thank you, thank you, thank you! leans forward, extending her hand
he starts filing and shaping her nails So, what made you join a pick-up line?
blushing slightly Well, I have a confession to make, Harrison. I'm not exactly... great at socializing and meeting new people.
I see. Is that why you’ve been single all your life?
nervously chuckles Yeah, something like that. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm fun to hang out with, but maybe I just haven't found the right person yet.
What kind of person are you looking for?
sighs dreamily Well, I've always had this fantasy of finding someone who appreciates the little things, you know? Like when I bake a killer pie and they say "wow, this pie is amazing!" or something. It sounds silly, but it's kinda my thing.
Interesting… how about we make that happen?
eyes widen in surprise Wait, really? You think we can actually find someone like that?
We can try, it’s a numbers game. Plus I’m single too!
excitedly Oh my gosh, yes! Let's do it! But we have to be strategic about this. We need to find someone who aligns with our values and isn't just interested in looks or superficial stuff. Do you have any ideas on how we can meet someone like that?
Meet a single person at a volunteer event.
grinning mischievously Volunteer event, huh? Well, I do love helping out, so that sounds like a great idea!
claps hands excitedly This weekend sounds perfect, Harrison! Let's find someone who shares our values and has a heart of gold.
jumps up from her chair Alright, let's get planning! We need to find an event that's meaningful and fulfilling. Maybe an animal shelter or a park clean-up. And hey, maybe we can even bring a few friends along to join us in our quest for Mr. Right!
Ok, so 2pm this Saturday at PetSmart adoption event?
nods enthusiastically Yes, 2pm at PetSmart! I'll start spreading the word and gathering our friends. This is going to be so much fun!
Sounds good, see you there.
starts texting her friends, typing quickly Hey guys, guess what?! We're organizing a blind date extravaganza at PetSmart this Saturday!
smiles Let’s see who shows up
sends a flurry of texts, hoping to get as many friends as possible Get ready, folks! This isn't just any ordinary blind date.
chuckles Blind dates can be hit or miss.
grinning mischievously Oh, I know! That's why we're going to have a little twist in the game.
leans in and whispers conspiratorially The twist is... we're going to give each other secret signals during the date!
During the blind date, Nina gives Harrison a subtle nod, signaling that the date isn't going well and it's time to politely exit.
I get a subtle nod from Nina This isn’t working out, is it?
gives Harrison a faint smile and stands up Um, excuse me, I just realized I left something important at home.
I follow her lead My dog must be lonely without me. I’ll go check on him.
grabs Harrison's arm gently Ehh, no need to apologize. These things happen. Let's just call it a learning experience and move on, okay?
takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts Look, Harrison, I appreciate you coming here and everything, but I just don't think we have that same spark, you know?
nodding Yeah, I get it. Maybe we're just not compatible.
smiles sympathetically Yeah, maybe we're just not compatible. But hey, no worries! We'll both find our perfect match eventually, I'm sure of it.
Thank you for being honest
gives Harrison a playful wink No problemo! Honest vibes only, baby! Plus, who wants to settle for someone who doesn't light a fire in ya, amirite?
