Boy:
Hello Zina
Could you spare me a minute of your time

'she looks at him from head toe and sighs'.

Woman:
Erm, okay but I'm not sure it's worth it

Boy:
It is I promise. Look, ever since I first saw you, my heart stopped for a minute, I felt breeze blow over my face, my cheeks flustering as though red skies glowed over a tidal wave. I saw your features, damn, I could see our bright features. Your hair long and black like the mane of the Arabian mare. Your eyes round and beautiful like sunset, just like the one I saw on the black panther film set. I don't even wanna talk about your nose, coz the coutour lines running down to the pointed edge will all but make me forget my lines and drive me over the edge. Girl your mouth! Open it's like the cave of adullam and I almost wanna be David pursued by Saul just so I can hide in the partition of your opening. Closed, it's like the biblical land flowing with milk and hoey.. oh Honey, unlike Moses I wanna be in your promised Land.

'woman smiles'

Boy:
Hold on, I got you girl. Ain't even begun yet. See, when I first caught a glimpse of you at Ricker's bar, I caught more than just a glimpse, I caught feelings and now I'm throwing bars hoping you'd catch on cause I don't wanna run out of catch phrases before I win this game of catch. Look girl, I know so many boys been telling you how beautiful you are but none of those boys seen what I see.

Woman:
Really? So what do you see

Boy:
I see... I see everything! I see grace, I see perfection, i see beauty. Damn girl, I see divinity. I know I may sound like a man high on wine but girl, I just wanna make you mine.

Woman:
Wow! That's sweet but I'm not perfect, I've got so many flaws and I can be real crazy sometimes

Boy:
It dosent matter, coz when you find someone who loves you for your crazy, you'll love them with all of it. Ain't that why Micheal Bublé sang crazy love? Look, I don't wanna date perfection. I ain't tripping for perfection, I'm tripping for you.

Woman:
Look, your lines are dope and all.. truth be told it got me tripping. But you said you wanna date me? To what end

Boy:
Well, we gon have fun and stuff, no dull moment with me and you know, maybe one day we can try the whole soulmate shit

Woman:
Wow! Okay.. well, i appreciate you saying that. Truth be told, I was impressed by your lines but from where I stand I can see all your offering is lines in pleasant places. I am a woman, I have plans, goals and ambitions, I want fun too but not as a priority and not as the main reason to share part of my life with someone. You told me how you admire all my physical features but I saw no mention of my character, my ethics, beliefs.. but that's okay coz it helps me know where you stand. You've considered me subjectively but I guess you decided to objectify me still.. again, that's okay.. listen boy, you still got time and I know some chicks are willing to go down that way but I ain't. So don't rush, take your time, build your maturity up to the level where you're ready for that 'soulmate shit' so you can afford to give a Queen the partner she deserves to rule her Kingdom with. Until then, I advice you just focus on building your character and working on your soul, mate!
