John: Hey Kyle, who are you going to take to the dance on Friday? Kyle: I already asked Judy. She said yes! Who are you going to take?

John: Well, I want to ask Sarah. Shes really pretty. I think Tania wants me to ask her, though. Shes my good friend so she probably expects to go with me.
Kyle: Thats a difficult decision. If you take Sarah to the dance, Tania might get upset.

John: I know! Its difficult because I really want to go with Sarah!

Charlette: Hey Paula. Guess what? Jason just asked me to go to the dance with him! Paula: Are you serious! Thats great! Youve always had a crush on Jason! Did you say yes? Charlette: Well, thats the thing. I kind of already said yes to Tony... Paula: Oh no! Why did you do a thing like that? Charlette: I dont know Tonys a cute guy and I honestly didnt think there was a chance that Jason would ask me! I have no idea what to do! Paula: Oh Charlette, this should be a no-brainer. Youve got to tell Tony you cant go with him. If you turn Jason down now, you can kiss any chance of being his girlfriend goodbye! Charlette: Youre right. I mean, Tony might get sad, but I need to do whats best for me!

Love-struck Child: You are insanely in love with your girlfriend, Samantha. You dont care about her weaknesses. You will sacrifice anything to be with her, even drop out of school and work full-time. You want to marry her, and now its time to tell your parents about your plans!

Worried Mother: You do not like Samantha for the following reasons. First, Samantha already has a baby boy! Being a single mother, you can see that she is simply looking for someone to take care of her and her child so that she wont have to work and take responsibility for her actions. The worst part is that she is 28, and your son is only 23! You need to convince your son to break up with her.
