Virydiana: Come on, Nate! You got this!

Nate: I’m not good at this.

Virydiana: That’s okay! No training rails. Just go for it!

Nate: I didn’t really care for it. I had other things on my mind than to date someone. 

Virydiana: Did you ever have someone who wanted to date you?

Nate: Some. But I can be intimidating.

Virydiana: I don’t find you intimidating. You’re really nice!

Nate: Why? 

Virydiana: You’re really honest, even if you don’t talk a lot. I like that about you. 

Nate: Well...um...thanks.

Virydiana: Hold on! I know you’re not a talker but that’s okay. I don’t mind it.

Nate: But I know I’m boring you. I don’t have anything to say.

Virydiana: Come on Nate, everyone has something to say, you just need to dig deep. 

Nate: I don’t want to dig deep.

Nate: ...

Virydiana: ...

Virydiana: So what are you majoring in?

Nate: Music.

Virydiana: Oh that’s so cool! What instrument do you play?

Nate: I play a variety of instruments.

Virydiana: What’s your favorite?

Nate: I don’t know, I never really preferred one over the other.

Mark: That’s uh...great! Hehe, first date! Nervous?

Nate: I don’t know. I’m just going to play it by ear.

Mark: I...hm...Virydiana?

Mark: It’s a girl, isn’t it?

Nate: I don’t think it’s fair to always assume it’s a girl.

Mark: Oh yeah, sorry. Somebody...is that good?

Nate: I guess.

Mark: So you’re going out to see somebody. Your first date. My boy’s growing up.

Nate: Yeah, whatever.

Mark: So who is the lucky gal or guy? Is it Katie down the hall? Or...uh...the guy who’s always playing hacky sack? 

Nate: That guy has a knatted beard. I hate beards.

Mark: Is it because you can’t grow one?

Nate: Shut up.

Mark: Anyways, who is it?
