“Does it fulfil you?”
“No.”
“Does it make you whole again?”
“It does not.”
“Then why do you go on all these dates?”
“Why does one do things usually?”
“Normally to feel something.”
“What happens when someone is numb?”
“I guess they go on a lot of dates.”
“There you have it.”
“But surely you do it with the hope that it won’t be the case? With some hope, any kind of hope.”
“Don’t think I have that in me anymore either. But I guess you never know.”
“So you don’t have hope but you are open to the possibility of it? Isn’t that hoping of some kind?”
“Agh, you might’ve gotten me there.”
“I guess I still have hope for you.”
“Good. One of us should.”
