Me: What are you thinking about?

Tango: I'll get slapped if I tell you what I'm thinking about. What are you thinking about?

Me: I'm thinking that it seems like we're connecting really well on the physical level, but not so much on everything else.

Tango: Jess, we're fine.

Me: But, sometimes we don't have anything to say to each other.

Tango: We're getting to know each other. We're going to have the occasional awkward silence.

Me: Yeah?

Tango: Yeah.

Later:

Me: Yeah, okay. You're right. We're fine.

Tango: See?

Me: Sometimes, when I like someone, I invent reasons not to.

Tango: Do you know what that makes you?

Me: What?

Tango: Crazy.

Me: Yeah, but I'm totally upfront about my neuroses. I won't like, surprise you with anything.

Tango: Good to know.
