Dialogue 1

XiaoGao:  I feel so old now! All of my friends are getting hitched. I don't even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife.

Jingjing:  What's the rush, Xiao Gao? You're still plenty young. Besides, think of all the things you can do since you're not married.

XiaoGao:  Yeah,you're right. But eventually I would like to tie the knot. I guess I just haven't found "Mrs. Right" yet.

Jingjing:  Do you have your eyes on anyone at the moment?

XiaoGao: Well, I have a crush on Jennifer, but I haven't told her anything yet.

Jingjing: Why not? Is she seeing someone right now?

XiaoGao: No... I think she's out of my league. I can't see her falling for someone like me.

Jingjing: Why don't you take her to go see a movie? It can't hurt...

XiaoGao: You're right, I should.OK, I'll hit you up later and let you know how it goes.

Jingjing: OK! See ya!

Dialogue 2

Jingjing: So, Xiao Gao, did I you ask Jennifer out on a date?

XiaoGao:  As a matter of fact, I did.

Jingjing: So...? Details please?

XiaoGao: Well, I took her to the movies and we watched a chick flick. I think I'm really falling in love with her.

Jingjing: Are you sure it's not just puppy love?

XiaoGao: This time I think it's really serious. I've fallen head over heels for her.

Jingjing: So does Jennifer feel the same way about you? If so, maybe you should pop the question?

XiaoGao: Are you out of your mind? We just started dating a week ago!

Jingjing: Hey! Chill out! I was just making a suggestion. It sounds like you two are a perfect match.

XiaoGao: Ask me this question again next year, it's too early in our relationship to be thinking about marriage!
