44. Better off with E-mail？ P.295

    S： Gee, Diana, you're always at home. Don't you have any friends to go out with？

    D： Sure, I do. But all my friends are either out shopping or they're boring. And you know I hate shopping.

    S： Get a boyfriend. I'm sure you won't be bored then.

    D： Actually, I want to meet some interesting guys but I don't know how to.

    S： Why don't you try E-mail？ You might get lucky.

    D： I don't think so. Besides, dating through e-mail is neither personal nor romantic. Why don't you introduce

    D： Uh… maybe I'll be better off with e-mail.
