Joey: Okay. Here I go. Well… I’m … really crazy about a mutual friend of ours. I’m really head over heels about her. I think the world of
this girl, but I don’t even think that she would give me the time of day.
Tony: Hmm. Let me guess. Are you talking about Cindy?
Joey: No. No way. She isn’t my type. I mean she’s a really nice girl and she’s really down to earth, but I’m just not attracted to her.
Tony: Well, spill the beans. Who are you talking about? I can’t read your mind.
Joey: Well, I can’t stop thinking about Linda Stanton. We went out for a few drinks last week and we sent each other a few text
messages.

Joey: Yes, I guess you’re right. I should give her some space for a while, right?
Tony: Absolutely. Linda is a great woman with a big heart, but I really think that you should give her some time.
Joey: If you were me, how long would you wait?
