- ...then I started to think about finding a lover!
- Yes...
- Really! Just wonder... to live dangerously, to run away, once in a while, from that boyfriend's serene life, to enjoy other experiences!
- Hm...
- But the lover character doesn't make any sense if I don't have a girlfriend...
- No doubt.
- ...so, I thought, first I need a girlfriend!
- In fact.
- However, analyzing the girls I've dated and, trying to imagine the next girlfriend, I concluded I could never have a lover! When I really like someone, I don't want to get involved in adventures and, when I don't really like, I don't date.
- True...
- So I found a solution!
- Really? What solution?
- What if I had TWO girlfriends?
- What? What do you mean?
- That's it, two girlfriends, and one shouldn't know about the other one, two girls I really like.
- It's impossible to fall in love with two people.
- Are you sure? It might be possible... have you ever wondered about the advantages of having two girlfriends? You never get bored, there's no routine, you'll feel much happier inside and consequently you'll be able to be a best boyfriend for both!
- Man, you are nuts! And the craziest is that I know you really BELIEVE in what you are saying...
- Hahha, just think about the situation... can you imagine how much fun you would have with this?
- Hm, perhaps you may be kinda right...
- Why not?
