Rafael: Do you think that I’m dateable?
Lily: Sure, I guess. Why do you ask?
Rafael: I don’t know. I’m just trying not to try too hard, but I just want to date.
Lily: Have you scanned your dating pool? Are you on any online sites, or…?
Rafael: Yeah, I’m on all of the sites.
Lily: All of them?
Rafael: All of them. I’m really just trying to put myself out there. Trying to be eligible for people to just want to date me.
Lily: OK. But I feel like you should look for quality over quantity. You want to find the right person, right? So, you don’t need to date a bunch of different people. Unless, I guess you can dictate what you like and what you don’t like. And if you need to date a bunch of people, that’s cool. But you need to be respectful of them.
Rafael: Lily, answer me this question.
Lily: What?
Rafael: Are you taken?
Lily: Uhh…
