You know what, I don't think "yo" is a good start.

When: Saturday 6:30 PM
Where: Center City, Philadelphia, on my way to Tiffany's birthday dinner

Me: (Thinks.) Gonna be late. Better walk fast.
Guy: (Shouts from the back.) YO! (2-second pause.) YO! (2-seconds pause.) YO!
Me: (Keeps on walking. Thinks.) He's not talking to me, is he? Did I drop something? No, I didn't. Never mind.
Guy: (Comes up.) Hey, how are you?
Me: (Keeps on walking.) I'm good.
Guy: Where you heading to?
Me: To dinner.
Guy: Can I buy you dinner?
Me: It's ok. I'm meeting up with someone.
Guy: With girl friend?
Me: (Silent.)
Guy: Where are you going for dinner?
Me: (Silent.)
Guy: You're very beautiful.
Me: Thanks.
Guy: My name is Calvin. What is your name?
Me: (Silent.)
Guy: You're not talking to me?
Me: (Silent.)
Guy: (Speeds up and moves right in front of me.)
Me: (Stops.) Sir, I'm having dinner with my friends.
Guy: Alright, can I get you dinner sometime? (Moves to the side.)
Me: (Starts walking. Silent.)
Guy: I'm gonna turn at the corner. Can I give you my number and we can get dinner sometime?
Me: It's ok.
Guy: Maybe I'll see you around?
Me: Uh huh.
Guy: I'm turning here at the corner.We'll get dinner sometime later, ok? See you later, ok?
Me: (Crosses the street.)

(End of story.)


I wasn't too mean keeping silent, was I?
