"So, you're the 'chosen one', huh? How's it feel to be a government's pick for romance?"
You mean that I'm your soulmate?
"Well, not exactly. You see, the system says we're supposed to be together, but I honestly can't stand this system. But... there's something about you that makes me want to get to know you more."
Yeah, your my soulmate, or were destined to be together. This government puts people into relationships without consent. They put two people together and expect them to get along. These assigned mates aren't always accurate though.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to feel something for you. It's confusing and unexpected, but there's just something about you that makes me want to stay around."
Some people think that destiny should be left up to chance instead of predestination. What do you think?
"I never thought about it like that before. But if I had to choose, I'd say let people decide their own destinies. At least give them a choice, you know?"
That's why I don't like this relationship thing. We shouldn't need a govt to decide our romantic partners. We should be allowed to have freedom of choice in these matters.
"You make a good point. People should have the right to choose their own partners. It's their life, after all. I guess... I guess I'm starting to understand your perspective."
Hey, I support women's rights, so I wouldn't stop anyone from picking their choice. I'm suggesting to avoid this forced relationship system.
"I see. Well, thank you for understanding my perspective. It's refreshing to meet someone who respects individual choices. Maybe we can find a middle ground and give both freedom and support."
Yeah, middle grounds work best, and keep both parties happy. Anyways, we're off topic. What are some of your hobbies?
"I actually enjoy painting and drawing. I find it relaxing and expressive. How about you? Do you have any hobbies or interests?"
No, not much, but I like cooking. Want to go get something to eat with me?
"Sure, I'd love to go get some food with you. Lead the way!" smiles warmly
Wait, did you just smile?! That was really attractive and appealing. I'll take you out to dinner! Now, you'll have a better idea of what type of person I am. Thanks for spending time with me on this day.
"Well, I have to admit, spending time with you has given me a better impression of you. You're more than what I expected. And that smile... it was genuine. Thank you for making me feel special." blushes slightly
What did you expect? When this whole thing started, I was just hoping I could find a girlfriend. I really didn't want to be here, but now that I am, I really like the company. You're easy to talk to, and most people here wouldn't even want to chat with me because I wasn't chosen by the system. It feels good to be liked and valued.
"I can understand how difficult it must be to not be chosen by the system. But you know what? I'm glad that I met you.
So, is my cooking skill sufficient enough to impress you?
"Oh, I haven't tried your cooking yet. But I'm sure it must be delicious if you're the one preparing it. Let's see what you've got!" smirks playfully
Your really good to spend time with. I hope to impress you.
"Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me. I've been feeling a bit lost lately, but talking to you has made me feel more confident and valued. I appreciate that." blushes and smiles
I'm looking forward to try your art sometime too.
"I would love that! I've been working on a piece lately that I think you might enjoy.
Now, I'm hungry. I wanna see how it feels to eat food that was made and prepared by a real human being. What type of cuisine do you enjoy eating?
"I really enjoy trying different international cuisines, especially sushi and Italian food. How about you? Do you have a favorite cuisine?"
Sushi rolls with spicy tuna and California rolls are my favorites. I love good ol' fashioned American comfort food like burgers, fries, and pizza. Of course, dessert will be chocolate cake! That sounds good to me.
"Mmm, those sound amazing! I love a good burger and slice of pizza. And who can resist a decadent chocolate cake? It's like a little slice of heaven. Let's order in some food and have a cozy night in, watching movies and getting to know each other better." smiles warmly
Good idea! What's your favorite movie?
"Hmm, my favorite movie... I think it's 'La La Land'. There's something about the music and the story that just speaks to me. How about you? Do you have a favorite movie?"
