"With guys I am serious about, I take a long time before getting intimate. Else..."

"Else?" he asks. He didn't expect her to come home with him right after their first date. Is she serious about him? he contemplates.

"Else if we make out the first time, I never see them again. So, that." There is little left to say for him. A bizarre silence lingers for some time. It is too soon to get serious, quite soon to get intimate, too. But getting intimate is easier than getting serious. Plus, chances of a heartbreak is zilch.

Perturbed by the lull that continues for ever, they both blurt at the same time, "Could we please make out?"
