Can I Sit Next To You?


A woman is sitting on a bench in the park. She’s sipping on a coffee that she bought from a bodega. A man approaches her and decides he wants to strike up a conversation with her.

“Can I sit next to you?” He asked her.

“No.” She replied.

He sits down on the bench at arm’s distance apart from her.

“Nice weather we’re having lately, don’t you think?” He asked.

“No.” She said.

“Would it be okay if I took you out to dinner some time?”

“No.”

“Perhaps coffee or something like that?”

“No.”

“Maybe we can go to a museum and look at the artwork?”

“No.”

“How about a stroll through the park?”

“No.”

“It’s about lunchtime now, would you like to get something to eat?”

“No.”

“Can I buy you another cup of coffee?”

“No.”

“Have I done anything to offend you?”

“No.”

“Do you mind that I keep talking to you?”

“No.”

“Do you want to get married?”

“Yes.”
