Thirty-five fish

Transcript:

Oh, I didn’t realise you were only 22. I’ve actually just started seeing someone. I need to be by myself for a while. I can’t be in a relationship right now. You’re not really my type. I prefer someone more androgynous. Sagittarius and Pieces are not a good match. I couldn’t date someone who wasn’t into sport. I definitely don’t want kids. I don’t bother with recycling. Not that I’m racist or anything. I hate puppies, they’re so annoying. Did you just look at that puppy, while I’m sitting right here? I’m only looking to date people who are poly. Yes, I’m still with my husband. I don’t want to disappoint my dad. I don’t want my colleagues to know I’m gay. You seem very queer? You make me sick. You’re exhausting. You’re getting fat. Why aren’t you drinking? We were drunk and it just happened. If it was going to happen it would have happened by now. I didn’t think we were together. We’re dating but not, like, proper-dating. I didn’t think it would be a big deal. You don’t love the real me. You don’t look at me like she does. You’re better off without me. You can’t expect someone like me to stay with someone like you. It’s just not meant to be. It’s better if we’re just friends. There’s always more fish in the sea. See you 6pm Flinders Street.
