Mason:  So, I mean listen, I’m sorry about last week.

Amanda:  Hi.

Mason:  Yeah?

Amanda:  It’s good to see you.

Mason:  Yeah, it is.

Amanda:  I know. I feel really badly about what happened too. But it’s so not us and that’s not how it should be.

Mason:  I don’t know. I think there was just so much going on and it just kind of set me off.

Amanda:  I just…There’s no reason to rush this. I got ahead of myself and I…You know, we’re not getting married, so why don’t we just chill out and take it easy, see how it goes.

Mason:  Totally cool, right?

Amanda:  I don’t want to be that girl. I don’t want you to talk about me to your friends as if I’m this very overbearing, jealous, protective girlfriend.

Mason:  And I don’t want to be the boyfriend who’s yelling all the time and getting freaked out about girly stuff in his apartment. I mean, we’re better than that, right?

Amanda:  Yeah. If you want to talk to friend girls on the phone, I’m OK with that.

Mason:  Cool.

Amanda:  Yeah. I’m just gonna have to double up on my friend guys. Deal?

Mason:  Deal.

Discussion

The best way to settle an argument is with both sides admitting they did something wrong, and that’s exactly what Mason and Amanda do here. The fight they had was both of their faults and now that they’ve recognized that, they can move on.

But at the very end of the conversation, Amanda says something a little strange. She she says she’s going to have to get more guy friends if Mason is going to talk to friend girls on the phone. It sounds like she’s still not totally over her jealousy problem. What do you think? Do you think Mason and Amanda will last?

First of all, it is nice, but how long time they keep their words? This is important. Yes, couple sometimes bore eachother because of their character which they can't change it. Couple must trust and do obeisance to eachother than everthing comes spontaneously.
