想聊就聊-3.03.7情人闹矛盾

W: Sean, we have to talk.

M: About what?

W: About us.

M: There's nothing wrong with us. We are doing just fine.

W: Let's be serious. We've been dating for six months now and I really like you.

M: But…?

W: But you are not dedicated¹ to this relationship. You see it as casual dating.

M: How should I see it?

W: I don't want to be like this. I think we should take the next step

M: Is it time already? It has only been six months. Our relationship hasn't had a chance to mature yet. There are still some hurdles³ we have to jump over.

W: Like what?

M: Last week I saw you letting Brian kiss you.

W: It was only on the cheek.

M: So that is ok then? It starts on the cheek and pretty soon you are French kissing in the back of his car.

W: Oh, that's ridiculous!

M: So it's ok that I kiss another woman on the cheek?

W; Definitely not.

M: You see. We still have a hurdle².
