Preferring to Stay Single
Tess:Hi, Jack. We’re having a party tonight. Wanna come and join us? You can bring your girlfriend Tina。
Jack:I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m single。
Tess:Oh, that’s right. Well, there are going to be many beautiful girls at the party tonight anyway。
Jack:No. I like being single. I’ve never felt lonely. I’m focusing on my career. Maybe I’ll start to look for my girl when I achieve success。
Tess:Why is that?
Jack:Because I live in the real world. A man needs to have a good career and make a lot of money.Frankly speaking, the girls I’ve met wouldn’t marry a man who didn’t make enough money。
Tess:I agree. A man needs a good career but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have a little fun, too。
Jack:I just don’t want to get distracted。
