I think so.

Can I help make it less lonely?

Well, you’ve already made it less lonely right now

But back to this whole cat thing

What’s there to get back to?

I think you need a cat

Why not a dog?

Well, you said you play hockey

I don’t think hockey and a dog would mix

So a cat is a good idea?

Yes. Cats are self-sufficient.

And they can be left alone for long stretches of time without you worrying about them.

So that’s your reasoning for getting a cat?

It’s that I can leave them alone? Won’t they be lonely?

Cats do well on their own

And you wouldn’t be lonely.

So you think I am lonely

You just said some days you are

Okay, this whole conversation is getting off topic

Promise me you’ll at least think about it

I will

Only because it’s you and I know that if I don’t say that, you’ll keep bugging me

You’re right

I will keep bugging you

Only because I worry about you

It’s a good thing you’re cute

You know, you’ve never actually seen what I look like

I know

Because for some reason, you still won’t go out on a date with me.

I have my reasons.
