Hi, Emma! There’s this girl that I’m courting, and I’m planning to take her out.
Really? I’m totally surprised! It’s been a while, Ron!

I know, right? I just had to wait for the perfect person and the right timing.
That’s so sweet! So what’s your plan?

I don’t have any idea about this thing. Do you have any suggestions on how to pull this off?
Okay, so first thing to do is to find a nice restaurant. And please
don’t be late!

I’ll remember that. Do you have any tips for a good conversation starter on the first date?
