Song and Dance

Submitted by Nicholas:

Elaine and I arranged to meet up for a dinner date.  The first question she asked me when we sat down to dinner was, "Have you ever cheated on a girlfriend?"

I told her I hadn't, and it was true.  She asked, "Really?  You're not just saying that?"

"Really.  Never have."

"Are you lying?"

"No," I said again, patiently, "And I would never cheat on someone like you."

"What do you mean, 'Someone like me'?  What's the matter with me?"

I said, "Nothing.  I'd never cheat on you."

She rolled her eyes and said, "I've heard that song and dance before."

After dinner, she asked me to go clothes shopping with her.  I went along, thinking that it wouldn't take too long, but we must have walked into every store at the local mall.

After some time, I asked her if she could finish up shopping.  She said, "What?  Have another date after this one?  You'll wait."

I told her that I was going into an electronics store a little across the way, to wait for her to finish.  She then said, "No!  We're on a date.  You don't leave me."

I said, "So if this wasn't a date, I'd be allowed to leave, then?"

She nodded, and so I said, "Great.  Goodbye," and left.

She followed me into the mall.  "What the are you doing?" she asked, "You don't leave a girl in the middle of a date."

"I don't want to date you," I said, "Now let me go."

I continued walking, and she didn't follow me anymore.
