"I Dare You"

A Woman is at the bar of a restaurant by herself. She looks to be waiting for someone and swirling her straw in her drink.

Woman: “I’m in love with it.”

Man walks up and sits next to her.

Man: Is this seat occupied?

Woman: By Casper.

Man: What? Did you just say Casper?

Woman: I did. I’m “intoxicated.”

Man: Do you pick up many people with that line?

Woman: If I did, I wouldn’t have been stood up tonight.

Man: If you’re so inclined, “I’m enraptured” and would like to join you for a drink.

The man signals to the bartender to bring a couple more drinks.

Woman: Where did you come from? Are you “from the inside?”

Man: I too was stood up tonight. “I can feel that you want to” talk about it and I don’t feel like being alone right now. 

Woman: Okay. Hopefully you didn’t know her too long. 

Man: It was a gentleman I was waiting for. Well I guess he’s not a gentleman as much as a jerk.

Woman: Amen to that… Well cheers to rubbish people who leave us standing alone.

Man: I’ll drink to that. I manage to find the terrible ones.

Woman: Want to talk about it?

Man: You first.

Woman: Besides this guy, the last was bad. All he did was “wake up” and get “high.” When I asked him why, he said that’s how he lived life. He was “on it” and would “feel it suspending.” That was when I kicked him out of my apartment the next day.

Man: Why did you wait a day?

Woman: Because I’m not a monster. What about you? 

Man: Oh my life isn’t too complicated. “I’ve been a romantic for so long” that I’m just waiting and biding time for my person.

Woman: Don’t you ever get tired of not finding the right one?

Man: Not when “all I’ve ever had” and wanted “are love songs.” Maybe one day.

Woman: Cheers.
