Situation 21:

Talking to Older Brother( Sam and Robert finish using the

internet and begin to talk. )

Sam,I really like this girl Michelle.What should I do?

Don’t tell her you like her.If you tell a girl you like her, then she

won’t like you.And don’t be to nice to her.If you are too nice to

her, then she won’t like you either.

But I like her.How can I be mean to her?

You don’t have to be mean to Vier,just don’t be nice either.

But if I’m not nice to her she might like another boy.

You don’t know anything about girls.She will like you

even if you are not always nice to her.

But I was going to buy her some flowers tomorrow. Should I not?

No, that’s fine.You should buy her flowers tomorrow.Just don’t buy her

flowers every day.

Don’t worry.I don’t have enough money to buy her flowers every day.

Well,even if you had all the money in the world,it’s not a good idea

to be too nice to girls.If you ask dad he’ll tell you the same thing.

So what should I do tomorrow?

Buy her the flowers,but then don’t talk to her too much.

Can I talk to her after school?

Sure,but not before that.

Okay,I’ll give her the flowers in the morning,and then talk to her

after practice.(Sam begins to yawn.)Sam, are you tired?

Yeah, let’s go to bed.

Okay. Good night.See you tomorrow.

Good night.
