I suppose I should start off the conversation or we'll probably spend the rest of this date
in silence, which neither of us will mind, but will defeat the purpose of coming here,
seeing as we both have other things we could be doing. Then again,
I'm not entirely certain whether we can categorize this as a date,
seeing as it could also be categorized as a celebration of the finalization of our project,
only as there isn't any celebrating overtly taking place that could also be a mis-categorization.
Sorry, I don't say anything for ages and then I ramble on about all the possible
ways that this interaction 'could' be categorized.
Your behaviour is entirely in alignment with how I thought you'd be.
If you were acting any differently I'd be surprised.
But, I have to say that what you just said wasn't entirely correct.
How so?
From what I can see, your list has fallen short of completion.
This interaction could also be categorized as a farewell drink.
Would you classify that as a possibility an unlikely outcome or a likelihood?
What weight of probability are you assigning to a likelihood? Strictly speaking I'd say
any numerical quantity above 50 percent to any decimal point that you see fit.
On the other hand, if we are being friendly with one another
then I'd say 60 or above using round numbers.
In your estimation what is the percentage probability chance of this being a farewell drink
is it a likelihood or an unlikely outcome.
I see what you're doing.
You're testing me out.
How do you figure that?
You're fishing for information to see how I'm feeling about this date.
Let's just say that my intuition is telling me that asking you out was the right thing to do.
I like you otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
But you very well know that it's impossible for me to assign an accurate percentage
chance likelihood as to whether this is the last time we'll see one another...
even with your generous omission of the necessity for usage of decimal points.
Though it's possible that after having this talk we will part ways and never look back.
The likelihood of that happening is uncertain we both know there's a lot that hangs in the balance.
Whether or not there's a likelihood of us choosing to meet again depends upon
a variety of factors many of which have not yet had the opportunity to come into play.
I may be blind to extraverted feeling, but I'm certainly not blind to the workings of your mind.
You were curious to see if I would intellectually hang myself by taking the bait
and actually being stupid enough to think that I could mathematically figure out our future.
Guilty as charged your honour. I'm just playing with you.
But you started it by asking me what numerical probability I assigned to a likelihood.
I thought it was funny.
When I asked you for the percentage chance of this being a farewell drink I wondered if you might
come out with an actual figure to make yourself look intelligent. I'm glad that you didn't.
Because it would be intellectually dishonest.
Well you certainly broke the ice.
Well it was either that or spiking your drink.
That's funny.
Not what the last guy said.
What did he say?
You can ask him if you come to my house later.
He's still tied up in the basement.
You made me smile.
Cool beans. Someone getting my warped sense of humour makes a nice change,
if that's what you mean then 'yay' or are you just happy that I've decided not to spike your drink?
Okay feeling a bit awkward, you're not an easy person to read.
If you want me to summarize...
Let's just say that the likelihood of us seeing one another again... just went up.
