Ready to Date?

George: Are you sure you want to start dating this guy?
If things don't work out, you could ruin good friendship.
Leah: We're not going out yet. He just asked me to a party, and I agree to go.
Besides it's so awkward to go by yourself.
George: Well, it sounds like a date – and dating can easily lead to a romantic relationship.
Leah: Honestly, l'd like that. I like Andy, and dating is a great way to learn more about the opposite sex.

George: True, but you could get your heart broken. And as your older brother, I would hate to see that.
George, even if we do break up, I'll still learn from the experience.
Besides Andy isn't a player. I think it could potentially work out.
George: OK… but what if you go to different colleges?
Leah: I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I just want to have fun.
George: That sounds innocent enough, but do you know the kind of fun most boys have on their minds?
Leah: Oh, brother, I'm not that naive. Don't worry – I’ll be careful.
George: I hope so. I just want to protect my little sister.
