🗣 Conversation 🗣

- How is everything going with your girlfriend?
- Didn ' t I tell you? It ' s over!
- Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I did ' t know that you had split up. What happened?
- It was a few things. The first thing that happened was that we were supposed to go out for a romantic dinner for our one year anniversary, but she stood me up!
- Really! Did she tell you why she didn ' t show up?
- No, but I ended up finding out later that night when I saw her with another man at a club near my home!
- What was she thinking? Did you confront her about it when you saw her?
- I wanted to, but I knew that if I spoke to her, I'd just blow up at her, so I decided to just go home. I called her later that night, but she didn't answer the phone.
- I can ' t believe she would do that to you. It ' s so dishonest---and rude!
- I know. I still haven ' t heard from her. The good thing is that I ' m so angry with her that I don ' t feel sad about not having her around.
- I bet you she regrets what she ' s done. You were such a good catch! She really lost out, didn ' t she?
- I guess so. It would be nice to know why she did this though.
- I know. It ' s always nice to have some closure, but I don ' t think you ' ll have a problem finding another girlfriend.
