B: it's a lovely day, isn't it?
L: yeah, and most excitingly, I met the girl living under me today. She's really nice.
B: is she American?
L: yeah, and most importantly, she's single! Man, I could tell from the moment I saw her, she's the girl of my dreams!
B: so I take it you two are hitting it off? I know it's very convenient to be in a relationship with your neighbor, but what if you break up?
L: I don't know. I am not really worried about that. I don't wanna lose before even starting. Besides I think the other two American guys have also fallen for her.
B: sounds like you've got some competition. You made a move already?
L: not yet. But I am thinking of inviting her to dinner sometime. I know some good restaurants nearby.
B: that's nice. Having been here a little while surely gives you the advantage, eh?
L: you bet. Now that you mentioned it, I think I'll call her now and see if she is available tonight.
B: good luck!
L: thanks!
